Chapter 184 The Beautiful Lady Invites
"Why did Mr. Mo say that?"
Mu Ling'er was a little confused about what the old Taoist surnamed Mo meant, but she had been practicing with this senior since she was a child. Although they were not master and apprentice in name, they were master and apprentice in reality. She believed that what he said must have its truth, so she was neither arrogant nor impatient, and asked patiently.
"Ling'er, you don't know that alchemists have always been arrogant, and this person knows the ancient alchemy method. Most of his character is extremely strong and he will never be willing to be inferior to others. If you rashly use vulgar things to win him over, I'm afraid that the other party will think that you despise him and make him disgusted. If you fail to win him over, you will offend an alchemist who is proficient in ancient methods, which is not good for my Mu family."
The old man surnamed Mo stroked his long beard and analyzed leisurely.
Unexpectedly, Mu Linger smiled after hearing this, with a bright look in her eyes, and said: "Mr. Mo, what you said is wrong. I do want to win over this alchemist, but sending these vulgar things is just a test. If he refuses, I will think more highly of him. If he accepts, it will show that this person has a mediocre mind and is not worthy of my Mu family's cultivation."
"I have made a decision on this matter, Mr. Mo, there is no need to say more."
"Besides... the thing we are going to do next requires the assistance of an alchemist, and this person may be able to become our helper."
As if afraid that Mr. Mo would interrupt, Mu Linger added something after she finished speaking.
"This..."
Mr. Mo hesitated for a moment and wanted to say something, but Mu Linger had already stood up and walked out, with a bright smile on her lips. Seeing this, Mr. Mo had no choice but to shake his head helplessly, thinking that he had forgotten that this girl was also a proud and arrogant person. It would be good to let her try the alchemist, maybe she could find out the other party's details.
With a sigh, Mo Lao stopped trying to dissuade him, and just stared at the Da Huan Dan in the jade bottle.
…
The auction venue was temporarily closed, so it was rare to be quiet at this moment.
But Lingxu Zhenren's face was not so good. He was always gloomy, and his cold eyes locked on Tianyuanzi, and he didn't know what conspiracy he was brewing in his heart. Unfortunately, the other party still looked leisurely and didn't take Lingxu Zhenren's hostility to heart at all.
At this time, Mu Linger walked up to the auction seat again. Tianyuanzi couldn't hold back when he saw this, and shouted: "I wonder if Miss Mu has dealt with the matter? I have been waiting for a long time!"
Mu Linger smiled slightly, and didn't answer immediately, but looked at a certain auction platform vaguely, and a bright color flashed in her clear eyes.
When she looked at that auction platform, the maid Cuihong walked in and talked to the people inside, but soon she came out again, shaking her head at the main auction seat with a gloomy look.
A look of surprise flashed across Mu Ling'er's pretty face, and then she smiled. She withdrew her gaze from the auction platform, turned to Tian Yuanzi and smiled, saying, "I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. But I'm afraid I can't sell you the Fire Spirit Ginseng."
After these words came out, not only Tian Yuanzi, but also Lingxu Zhenren and other bidders were all stunned and looked at Mu Ling'er in confusion.
Tian Yuanzi showed anger on his face and said, "Miss Mu, what do you mean by that? Everyone present witnessed the bidding. I won the auction with 50,000 spirit stones. Could it be that the Mu family is bullying customers and going back on their word?"
"Daoyou, you are wrong. My Mu family has always treated people with integrity and never did such despicable things as going back on their word. It's just that another expert has offered this Fire Spirit Ginseng, and the price is much higher than Daoyou's. Therefore, the Fire Spirit Ginseng can only be sold to that expert. I hope Daoyou won't blame me." Mu Ling'er smiled sweetly. Her charming and charming appearance made people not angry even if they were full of resentment.
Tian Yuanzi was stunned, then furious. He looked around the venue and said coldly, "Who is it? Who has the ability to do this? Who can offer a higher price than me?"
Mu Linger smiled, looked up at the auction table where Ye Chunyang was, and said, "This fellow Daoist bid a top-grade ancient pill, so the price is naturally higher than that of fellow Daoist Tian Yuanzi."
"What? Top-grade ancient pill?"
Tian Yuanzi's face suddenly changed, and he looked in the direction of Mu Linger, with shock in his eyes, but there was no response from the auction table, as if no one was there.
Tian Yuanzi frowned, obviously unconvinced, and sneered at Mu Linger, "Miss Mu, do you think that I, Tian Yuanzi, can be fooled? The ancient pill formula has long been lost, so where is the ancient pill circulating? Even if there is, how can anyone be willing to exchange it for a mere Fire Spirit Ginseng?"
There was still no movement on the auction table.
Mu Linger sighed helplessly, waved her hand and ordered someone to bring the Da Huan Dan, and said with a wry smile: "The ancient pill is here. If you don't believe it, you can go and check it yourself."
Tian Yuanzi's face changed, and he stretched his neck to stare at the pill on the table. He made a series of strange sounds in his throat, and his face was full of disbelief. He screamed repeatedly: "Impossible! This is impossible! The ancient pill recipe has long been lost. How could he have an ancient pill? And he wants to exchange this precious thing for a mere Fire Spirit Ginseng?"
"Nothing is impossible. If you want to bid again, you might as well continue to bid." A faint voice sounded, but it came from the auction platform that had never been moved.
"Who are you?" Tian Yuanzi's heart was filled with murderous intent.
I thought the Fire Spirit Ginseng was already in his pocket, but he didn't expect someone to suddenly intervene. Moreover, most people who own ancient treasures have extraordinary backgrounds. He had already begun to retreat at this time.
His expression changed again and again, and he unwillingly sent his spiritual sense to the auction platform, wanting to find out more about this person.
"Humph!"
Just after Tian Yuanzi's spiritual consciousness approached, a cold shout came from the mysterious bidding stage. Tian Yuanzi suddenly turned pale and his head roared loudly. He was shocked back by a spiritual consciousness that was several times more powerful. He suddenly had tinnitus, dizziness, and cold sweat. He was lying weakly on his seat, his face full of horror.
Although the others didn't understand why, seeing Tian Yuanzi, who had been so fierce just a moment ago, suddenly showing such surprise, they couldn't help but look at the mysterious bidding platform, their minds swaying for a while.
Tian Yuanzi was a master in the late stage of foundation building, but he was so afraid of that mysterious man. Could it be that he was a powerful person in the mana stage.
There was silence in the venue for a while, and they looked at the mysterious bidding platform with even more awe.
This scene naturally fell into Mu Ling'er's eyes clearly. Although she didn't know what happened specifically, it was not difficult to tell from the situation at this moment that the two had just had a brief confrontation, and Yuanzi had been crushed by the mysterious man in less than half an hour that day. Pressure, which made her even more curious about this person.
Her eyes flickered for a few times, then she smiled brightly and said, "This fellow Taoist has made an extraordinary move. Since no one bids, this Fire Spirit Ginseng will be handed over to fellow Taoist."
The maid then finished her words, put the fire ginseng into the jade box and walked into the bidding stage to present it to Ye Chunyang.
Ye Chunyang was not polite and accepted the fire ginseng directly.
In fact, everyone's reaction to the Great Return Pill surprised him. In his eyes, this Great Return Pill was just an ordinary high-grade pill. With his alchemy skills, as long as the medicinal materials were enough, he would be more or less successful. How much, it would not hurt to exchange just one for this Fire Spirit Ginseng, but judging from everyone's reaction, it seems that ancient objects are extremely rare in the Chaos Demon Realm, which is conducive to the development of his ancient alchemy skills.
Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to stay here to avoid being targeted by someone with intentions. Just now, he was able to frighten everyone by defeating Tian Yuanzi with his powerful spiritual consciousness, but after all, his spiritual power was only in the middle stage of foundation building, and there were many masters present, so it would be difficult for others to see through him.
So after collecting the Fire Spirit Ginseng, he got up and left this place.
"Senior, please stay."
Just when he was about to leave, the maid named Cuihong in front of him bowed slightly and stopped him.
"What's the matter with you?" Ye Chunyang raised his eyebrows and said, "If it's to lure me into the Mu family, then there's no need to talk about it. I made it very clear just now."
Previously, the maid was ordered to deliver a message. The Mu family valued her ancient elixir skills and wanted to invite him as a guest with a heavy reward. However, Ye Chunyang was not interested in this and refused the offer. Now that the maid seemed to be talking again, his heart sank. .
"Senior has misunderstood. My slave has just conveyed your meaning to our young lady. Since she knows that senior has no intention of joining the Mu family, she will not force her to do so. It's just that she wants to be on good terms with senior and wants to give him a favor. Please ask senior to move." See you backstage.”
The maid said methodically.
"Miss Mu wants to see me?" Ye Chunyang frowned, wondering what the other party's intention was.
From what the maid said, it seemed that Miss Mu had a high status in the Mu family and wanted to show her favor to him. Although he had no intention of becoming a guest of the Mu family, Ye Chunyang did not want to be hostile to this big family. After thinking about it, he nodded. , said: "Lead the way from the front!"
The maid was delighted when she heard this and waved her hand: "Senior, please follow me."
Everyone, including Tian Yuanzi and Master Lingxu, was very curious about this mysterious man with amazing skills. When they saw him walking out, they all looked at him in unison. Unfortunately, Ye Chunyang was wearing a black cloak and a veil on his face. No one was there. He could clearly see his true appearance, and no one dared to make a mistake in the Mu family auction house at this moment, so they could only watch him follow the maid into the backstage.
Not long after, he saw Mu Linger and the white-haired old man in the back room.
Ye Chunyang looked at the old man and the young man, with doubts in his heart. However, when he saw the white-haired old man, his heart moved. There was actually a trace of heaven and earth energy flowing in this man. Although he was still in the late stage of foundation building, he was far from advanced. Mana is not far away.
He frowned and before the two of them could say anything, he first turned into a guest and said, "Miss Mu, I have an appointment to meet you. What advice can you give me?"
"My Taoist words are serious. My Taoist cultivation is extraordinary, and he is also proficient in ancient alchemy. How dare a little girl give advice? My Taoist has really broken the little girl." Mu Ling'er was generous, and with her charming smile, although It is noble, but gives people a sense of intimacy.
As he spoke, he ordered the maid to serve tea: "I wonder what your surname is?"
Ye Chunyang nodded in return and said, "My surname is Ye."
But out of his always cautious habit, he would not drink any tea in an unfamiliar environment, and would just sit quietly and wait for the other party to explain his intentions.
Naturally, Mu Ling'er and Mr. Mo could see this tiny detail clearly. The two looked at each other and had a higher evaluation of this mysterious man's mind.
"It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Ye." Mu Linger stopped beating around the bush and said straight to the point: "The little girl invites Fellow Daoist here because she actually wants to make a favor and make friends with Fellow Daoist."
