Chapter 224: Chapter 225 The Deceitful Quack Doctor

Time flew by, and three days later.

After the battle with the Dark Division, the Northern King’s Palace realized something!

Even though the Northern King had fallen, there were still people who wanted them dead!

Only by uniting!

Becoming stronger!

Could they survive!

In the Capital City, at a luxurious hotel!

Ye Wudao and his group were temporarily staying here, taking care of Old Su, while also inquiring about the whereabouts of the Soul Resurrection Grass.

"Wudao, do you think Grandpa will die?" Su Yueli’s beautiful eyes teared up.

"With me here, he won’t!" Ye Wudao asserted confidently.

"Exactly, Sister Yueli, you must believe in Brother Wudao!" Xia Shiqi comforted from the side.

Just then, a series of knocks sounded at the door.

"Come in!" Ye Wudao called out.

"Young Master, the three thousand old soldiers of the Northern King’s Palace have unanimously decided to serve you unconditionally!" Blood Wolf, Lei Hu, and others arrived, reporting the news with faces full of excitement.

Ye Wudao’s eyes showed surprise; "These three thousand people, that’s a huge number, and their lodging, food, and other expenses, that’s no small sum!"

Blood Wolf smiled and said, "Hehe, Young Master, you needn’t worry about that! The brothers of the Northern King’s Palace are all veterans who’ve been through numerous battles; they can keep a low profile by moving only at night. As for food and drink, the warriors have savings and can temporarily fend for themselves!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Wudao immediately laughed; "Not spending a penny but having three thousand people at my command, I’m really getting a great deal!"

"It’s just..." Blood Wolf looked troubled; "Three thousand people is not a small number, we’ll need to find a place to settle them, the more concealed, the better."

Ye Wudao frowned, finding a place to accommodate three thousand people was indeed a challenge.

Su Yueli, on the other hand, smiled and said; "I have a place. My company in Jiang Hai is huge. The basement alone has three stories, accommodating three thousand people is not a problem! Moreover, the lodging and living expenses of the Northern King’s Palace warriors will all be covered by my Su Corporation!"

"What, that’s great!" Blood Wolf was ecstatic, bowing with hands clasped; "Many thanks, Young Madam!"

"Wow, Sister Yueli, how imposing!" Xia Shiqi gave her a thumbs up.

Just then, the Ghost Doctor strolled in nonchalantly.

"Ghost Doctor senior!" The crowd all rose to greet him.

The Ghost Doctor chuckled; "Hehe, you little rascal, I have good news and bad news for you, which one do you want to hear first?"

"I like to hear the good news first!" Ye Wudao said.

"Hehe, the good news is that the Tian Long auction happening tonight lists the Soul Resurrection Grass among its items!" The Ghost Doctor said with a smile.

"That’s great!" Ye Wudao was thrilled.

"With the Soul Resurrection Grass, my grandpa will be saved!" Su Yueli exclaimed excitedly.

"And what’s the bad news?" Ye Wudao curiously asked.

"The bad news, well, is that the Soul Resurrection Grass has caught the attention of many, including powerful and noble families with backing. Getting your hands on the Soul Resurrection Grass is as difficult as reaching the heavens!" The Ghost Doctor shook his head and said.

"No matter who it is, I must get the Soul Resurrection Grass!" Ye Wudao declared firmly.

"Good!" The Ghost Doctor showed a look of approval and extended his hand; "Give me the money!"

"What money?" Ye Wudao asked, puzzled.

"The entrance fee!" The Ghost Doctor said indifferently.

"What, entrance fee?"

"No kidding, do you think anyone can just walk into the Capital City auction? That’s where all sorts of rare treasures are auctioned, many of which ordinary people have never heard of in their lives! The starting price for one ticket is a million, so stop yapping and hand over the money!" The Ghost Doctor stretched out his hand, urging him on.

"I, I don’t have any money!" Ye Wudao spread his hands.

"If you don’t have money, what the hell are you going to the auction for, to auction off a ghost?" The Ghost Doctor was exasperated, wondering if this kid was trying to get by on his face value, just like himself!

"It’s okay, I have money!" Su Yueli immediately took out a bank card from her person and said; "Ghost Doctor senior, the entrance fees for all of us, use my card!"

"Hehe, Miss Su is always so generous!" The Ghost Doctor chuckled as he produced a card reader from his clothes and swiped the card with a light touch.

Beep!

Transaction successful!

Three million deducted!

"Damn, Ghost Doctor, you actually carry a card reader with you when you’re out and about?" Ye Wudao was flabbergasted.

"Hmph, a card reader is indeed an essential treasure that I take with me when traveling, in the dark of night, for making transactions on the go!" The Ghost Doctor said with a smug expression as he stowed the card reader away and handed the bank card back to Miss Su.

Ye Wudao and the others exchanged glances!

It turned out this guy, the Ghost Doctor, was really quite a character!

...

Night.

The most bustling district of the Capital City!

A towering building hundreds of meters tall, majestic and commanding, making all other mountains look small in comparison!

This was none other than the Tian Long Auction House, one of the four top-notch auction houses in Dragon Country. It held auctions only once a year, and each event drew the attention of the entire city, with many people traveling thousands of miles to attend the Tian Long Auction!

Moreover, it was said that the boss was an extremely mysterious figure with incredible connections and influence!

"We’re here!" Ye Wudao parked the Wuling Hongguang van, Su Yueli and Xia Shiqi were the first to get out of the car, followed by the Ghost Doctor.

"Young Master!" At that moment, a familiar voice called out.

Ye Wudao turned his head to look.

He saw Blood Wolf, Lei Hu, and others greeting him.

"You guys are here too," Ye Wudao said with a smile.

"Heh heh, Young Master, the Tian Long Auction is the most famous auction house in Dragon Country. Since we’ve come to the Capital City, we can’t miss it!" Blood Wolf said with a laugh.

"Yeah, Young Master, maybe they will have what we are looking for!" Lei Hu grinned.

Ye Wudao smiled and said, "Let’s go in together!"

The Tian Long Auction House was buzzing with people, thousands queuing in an orderly manner!

Dozens of strong guards from the auction house were stationed around, each one emitting a powerful aura. The leading guard was an imposing martial artist at the fifth rank of the True Body Realm. Keeping order was not an issue!

There were two entrances to the Tian Long Auction House!

Almost everyone was using the first entrance, while the other more splendid and magnificent entrance saw hardly any visitors!

"Huh, why is no one using that grand entrance?" Ye Wudao curiously asked.

"The first entrance is the common one; anyone with a ticket can enter through it!"

Blood Wolf explained with a smile, then looked enviously at the grand entrance next to them and said, "As for the second entrance, known as the VIP entrance, it’s only open to noble families and sects, or martial artists who have reached the seventh rank of the True Body Realm. They are eligible to use this VIP entrance!"

"Noble families, sects?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"A so-called noble family is one with a history of over a hundred years, and at some point produced a martial artist who achieved the rank of Marquis or higher. Only then can they be called a noble family!" Blood Wolf explained.

"What is a sect?" Ye Wudao asked again.

"When it comes to sects, that’s something impressive!"

Blood Wolf’s eyes were filled with awe, "A sect is an even more esteemed entity than a noble family. Ten noble families together can’t compare to one sect! The weakest sect has a history of over five hundred years, and there are even ancient sects with a thousand years of history. Such forces are unfathomably strong, powerful to the extreme!"

After a pause, Blood Wolf reminded, "In the Capital City, there are five major noble families and three great sects. If we encounter them, we must be careful!"

So that was how it was!

Ye Wudao suddenly understood.

As they were speaking, a group dressed in lavish attire appeared, heading toward the VIP entrance.

"Please present your token!" said the guard of the VIP entrance from the auction house.

A middle-aged man in the lead took out a golden token.

"You are guests of the Ouyang family; please come in!"

Curious gazes measured up the members of the Ouyang family from the crowd.

The members of the Ouyang family looked around at the crowd with icy glares, threatening viciously, "Another look, and believe it or not, we’ll gouge your eyeballs out!"

Hiss!

Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look any further.

"Hmph, let’s go!" The members of the Ouyang family swaggered away.

Ye Wudao said with a look of disgust, "Damn, aren’t they acting a bit too arrogant?"

"Hehe, Young Master, you may not be aware. This Ouyang family is one of the five great noble families of the Capital City. They hold a lofty position, and it’s said that the family head is a powerful figure at the half-step Marquis rank. It’s normal for ordinary people to fear them," Blood Wolf said with a wry smile.

Soon, it was Ye Wudao’s group’s turn to have their tickets checked.

"Here are our tickets!" Blood Wolf, Lei Hu, and the others took out their expensively purchased tickets.

The ticket checker motioned for them to pass, then turned to Ye Wudao with an icy gaze and said, "And where is your ticket?"

Oh no!

The Ghost Doctor didn’t give me one!

Ye Wudao looked embarrassed, suddenly noticing that the Ghost Doctor had disappeared.

"Damn, where did the Ghost Doctor run off to?"

"Wudao, look quickly!" Su Yueli pointed toward the VIP entrance.

To his surprise, the Ghost Doctor was nonchalantly walking through.

"Damn, this heartless, swindling Ghost Doctor! He tricked us out of our ticket money and just strolled through the VIP entrance himself, despicable!" Ye Wudao’s face turned ashen with rage.
