Chapter 679 Saving Senior Sister (2)
“Then what? Then I told them that I did indeed obtain a Golden Life Flower Seed the year before last, but I sold it to the Guo family in the prefecture capital not long ago. They then left Nanshan Sect, saying they were going to ask the Guo family about the situation.
Gao Yingjie said quickly.
“Thank you!”
Cheng Hongling cupped her fists and turned to leave.
“Ah? This… you’re leaving just like that?”
Gao Yingjie said with unwillingness. He thought that with his excellence, he would at least make the proud Heavenly Daughter in front of him a little bit moved. He didn’t expect her to have no lingering feelings.
“This is your reward!”
Qi Huang thought the other party wanted revenge. With a thought, a box flew onto the table.
“Are you insulting me? Am I, Gao Yingjie, that kind of greedy person?”
Gao Yingjie was furious.
“I’m sorry, Senior Brother Gao! I shouldn’t have insulted you!”
Qi Huang was startled and was about to take back the box, thinking that this guy was indeed worthy of his name, an outstanding hero.
Gao Yingjie subconsciously glanced at the box, then hugged it into his arms, repeatedly saying, “No, no, no… I like being insulted, can you insult me again?”
Qi Huang rolled her beautiful eyes, then turned and left the room.
The few women soon arrived at the Guo family in the prefecture capital. To their surprise, the Guo family compound was so deep and secluded that it rivaled the Prefecture Office.
“It seems this Guo family has some background!”
Ruan Lingyu exclaimed.
“Of course. Ordinary people can’t afford Golden Life Flower Seeds.”
Mu Ruoyi reminded her.
“First, check if my three Senior Sisters have entered the Guo family. If so, then inquire about the other party’s background.”
Qi Huang ordered.
Mu Ruoyi understood and went near the main gate of the Guo family. She placed her hands on a large tree by the roadside and communed with it. Not long after, she opened her beautiful eyes and said, “We’ve found the right place. Your three Senior Sisters have indeed entered the Guo family, and they haven’t come out since entering.”
“It seems the Guo family is behind this!”
Ruan Lingyu gritted her teeth.
“As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles. Let’s inquire about the situation of this Guo family first!”
Next, the women began to inquire about the Guo family’s situation. Qi Huang kept scanning the Guo family with her spiritual sense. She found that the mansion was not only large but also mysterious. Many places were covered with Body Protection Talismans to conceal their aura, proving the owner’s extraordinary nature.
Not long after, the women learned about the Guo family’s background. They were one of the three major martial arts noble families in Gaosheng Kingdom, and their strongest patriarch had reached the middle stage of the Legend Realm, which was equivalent to the middle stage of the Shentong Realm of cultivators.
“A martial artist in the middle stage of the Legend Realm?”
Mu Ruoyi’s mouth opened in shock. She then turned to ask Qi Huang, “That’s equivalent to a cultivator in the middle stage of the Shentong Realm! Can you handle it?”
“I can take on ten of them!”
Qi Huang smiled modestly and said, “But now is not the time!”
“Why?”
Ruan Lingyu asked doubtfully.
“We haven’t found the traces of the three Senior Sisters yet. We can’t alarm the snake!”
Qi Huang explained.
“Yes, I scanned with my spiritual sense and found that there are many Spiritual Sense Shields in this mansion, and many places cannot be investigated clearly. No matter how strong one is, one cannot rush in rashly.”
Mu Ruoyi agreed.
“It’s alright, I have the Recording Mirror!”
With a thought, the Recording Mirror appeared in Qi Huang’s hand. She then began to spy on the Guo mansion, especially those places protected by Spiritual Sense Shields.
Qi Huang observed from place to place. When she was scanning the spacious back room of the Guo family, she was stunned. The girls around her also widened their beautiful eyes.
They saw that in the back room of the Guo family, there were hundreds of people sitting around, all adorned in gold and silver, indicating their extraordinary status. In the center of the room stood three women, bound hand and foot with specially made ropes, their mouths gagged, and they were being guarded by several servants.
What shocked the women was not the number of people, but that these three women were Yun Fei, Su Qingying, and Miao Xiang!
“What are they doing?”
Ruan Lingyu asked anxiously.
“Let’s observe the situation first!”
Qi Huang saw that her three Senior Sisters were not in danger, so she decided to figure out the situation first.
“They are so beautiful! They are cultivators!”
“What? Old Master Guo dares to sell cultivators?”
“Old Master Guo is a martial artist, but his strength is immense. How could he be afraid of cultivators?”
“Yes, Old Master Guo is a cultivator in the middle stage of the Legend Realm. No cultivator in Gaosheng Kingdom is his match.”
“But the problem is that our strength is not enough. What if their sect comes looking for us?”
“No one forced you to buy. If you’re afraid, then cover your legs and pretend to be a woman. Without even this bit of courage, you don’t deserve to be a man.”
The important figures in the room discussed in hushed tones.
“Everyone!”
At this moment, a stout old man sitting in a grand tutor chair against the north wall stood up and said, “I’ve gathered everyone here today for the purpose of selling these three female slaves. As you can see, not only are they beautiful like flowers, but they are also cultivators!”
“Old Master Guo, since they are cultivators, how dare we buy them casually?”
“Yes, we don’t have your strength. What if their sect comes looking for us?”
“Old Master Guo, please open the door and let us leave! We absolutely will not leak a single word!”
Many people in the room pleaded.
“Everyone, there’s no need to panic. Although they are cultivators, they are rogue cultivators and have no sect.”
Old Master Guo lied.
“Wuu wuu wuu…”
Yun Fei and her two sisters heard this and shook their heads desperately.
“Old Master Guo says they are rogue cultivators, but what proof do you have?”
Anyone with a bit of sense could see that something was wrong, so someone asked.
“Show everyone their indentures.”
Old Master Guo gestured to a servant beside him.
The servant held three indentures and went around the room, allowing everyone to see them clearly.
“These are the indentures of these three. They have personally pressed their fingerprints on them. Whoever buys them will own them, so even if they have a sect, they can’t do anything to you.”
Old Master Guo appeased them.
The crowd’s eyes lit up when they heard this.
Their faces showed signs of wavering.
Qi Huang and the others looked at each other, not understanding what had happened before.
Didn’t they come to inquire about the Jinming Flower Seed? Why were they tied up and being sold? And they had even pressed their indentures!
Shen Yuan asked, puzzled.
“I’m guessing that the Guo family saw that they were beautiful and were foreign cultivators, so they had the idea of buying and selling women. As for the indentures, as long as they subdued them, they could press whatever they wanted.”
Qi Huang analyzed.
“Yes, in this world, a female cultivator is worth a fortune in the mortal realm. It’s normal for the Guo family to have evil thoughts.”
Ruan Lingyu agreed.
The women felt it made sense, so they all nodded.
“Everyone, think about it. If you take them as wives or concubines, not only can you enjoy their beauty, but your descendants will also have the talent for cultivation in the future. It’s simply like a sparrow transforming into a phoenix. Aren’t you tempted?”
Old Master Guo enticed them again.
“Old Master Guo, stop talking. Make your offer!”
“If taking them as wives or concubines can allow my descendants to become cultivators, I am willing to take this risk.”
“I’ll reserve the smallest one. No one snatch her from me!”
“Are you looking for a wife or a daughter? You have no taste at all. I want the tallest one. Look at her legs, they are longer than my wife’s life!”
“Your wife is still alive, isn’t she? How do you know how long her life is?”
“The moment I saw these three little beauties, she had already died in my heart.”
The thousand people in the room shouted excitedly.
“Very good! That’s what a man should be like!”
Old Master Guo smiled with satisfaction and said, “Then let’s use an auction. The highest bidder wins! We’ll start with the smallest one, with a starting bid of ten thousand taels of silver! Each bid must not be less than one thousand taels! Of course, you can also exchange them with heavenly treasures!”
“Eleven thousand taels!”
“Eleven thousand taels? You poor wretch dares to covet a fairy? Fifteen thousand taels!”
“…”
A group of people bid like madmen. In the end, the cute Miao Xiang was bought for 110,000 taels of silver, which was equivalent to the entire Huang Tian Prefecture’s annual tax revenue.
Qi Huang watched, dumbfounded. She finally understood the value of female cultivators in the mortal realm.
Next, they began to auction Su Qingying, and she was also sold for 110,000 taels of silver.
Finally, Yun Fei was auctioned. Since she was the last one, many people even took out their parents’ coffin money, and the price directly rose to 150,000 taels of silver.
“Damn it! I’m going all out!”
At this moment, someone suddenly stood up and shouted, “I’ll trade it for a Blood Bodhi Tree!”
“What? Blood Bodhi Tree?”
The people around looked at each other in dismay. It was obvious that many of them had never heard of this thing.
With a thought, a potted tree, one person tall, appeared on the ground. The tree was dark red all over, its leaves were heart-shaped, and each leaf had a long, dripping tip!
“Is this the Blood Bodhi Tree?”
Old Master Guo immediately stood up from his chair and walked over to examine it carefully. After a moment, he said, “I’ve heard that the Blood Bodhi Tree is a divine tree that can produce blood. Can you show me?”
“Of course!”
The man gestured to a attendant beside him.
The attendant walked forward, placed a basin under the Blood Bodhi Tree, and then cut his finger, dripping a drop of blood onto a leaf.
What happened next was magical. The drop of blood was quickly absorbed by the leaves of the Blood Bodhi Tree, and then a stream of blood as thick as a thumb flowed down from the tip of the leaf, splattering into the basin and quickly filling it.
“Wow!”
Everyone in the room exclaimed. This Blood Bodhi Tree could turn a drop of blood into a basin of blood. What a miracle.
Qi Huang trembled when she saw this. This was exactly the treasure she had always dreamed of! With this thing, she could have enough blood to grow Ghost Tomatoes.
