Chapter 231: Chapter 101 People from the Buddhist Sect

Thanks to the favor of a few major patrons, especially the strong "support" from Hong Fang at the end, Ye Lingyue managed to pocket a total of one thousand fifth-grade elixirs. After deducting the handling fees, it added up to more than nine hundred thousand taels of gold. This amount of money was already enough for Ye Lingyue to purchase a set of Sixth tier Martial Arts.

Even so, she could save a portion of the money to support Ghost Sect.

After the elixirs were sold, the crowd dispersed on their own.

The auction at the Earth-level Auction House became bustling once again.

"Elder He, the auction techniques of Thirteenth Young Master really opened my eyes. The new waves of the Yangtze River push forward the old waves; even if one does not want to admit it, they have to acknowledge the rise of the younger generation," although Second Brother He also played the fool once, he was still full of amiability, a huge change in attitude from when Ye Lingyue first met him.

Although the price given by Ye Lingyue was not cheap, just this deal alone brought a commission of one hundred thousand taels of gold to Treasure Cave.

Ye Lingyue exchanged a few more polite words, and Elder He went off to attend to other customers.

"Ling Yue, knowing his identity, why did you still let me give the Elixir Pills to him? Hong Fang is far-sighted and cunning by nature. His eagerness to purchase the Flying Elixir is definitely not for anything good." Seeing that no one was paying attention to them anymore, Feng Xun lowered his voice and asked Ye Lingyue.

Ye Lingyue’s relationship with Hong Fang had been thoroughly investigated by him long before he knew her.

When he learned of the tragic childhood Ye Lingyue once had, Feng Xun couldn’t help but feel a sense of regret.

He regretted that he hadn’t met her when she needed protection the most.

He even forgot that at that time, he was merely a frail and sickly youth himself.

Noticing the soft gleam in Feng Xun’s eyes, Ye Lingyue’s heart skipped a beat, as if pricked by the tenderness in his eyes, she turned her face away.

Feng Xun’s assessment of Hong Fang was indeed incisive.

Remembering how Feng Xun had infuriated Hong Fang and Liu Qing with just a few words, Ye Lingyue couldn’t help but find it amusing.

The longer she spent time with Feng Xun, the more Ye Lingyue found that she understood him less and less.

In front of her, he was a harmless and beautiful young man, easily arousing a woman’s sympathy.

But sometimes, he was like a cunning fox of a businessman, and other times, he would exude a chilling air that even made her feel cold.

Which one was the real him?

After much contemplation, Ye Lingyue finally came to terms.

Feng Xun had been an orphan since childhood, supporting the vast Feng Residence alone. His harmlessness was only because he trusted her.

Whether he was a cunning businessman or cold, they were probably just umbrellas he used to protect himself.

"I just want to see what bad things he wants to do with the Flying Elixir. Feng Xun, you don’t really believe that I would be so kind-hearted as to sell the Superpower Elixir so casually, do you? The elixirs I refine naturally have a trick up their sleeve; I am not foolish enough to lift a stone only to drop it on my own feet." She grinned, leaning into Feng Xun’s ear, and whispered a few words.

Originally, Ling Yue had added a special fragrance to all the Invisibility Elixirs she refined.

This special fragrance could be recognized by Little Zhiyo as soon as it appeared.

The so-called Invisibility Elixirs were useless in front of her.

As for Hong Fang’s Flying Elixir, it was indeed a genuine Flying Elixir without any additions; however, just now, when the Elixir Pills were handed over, Ye Lingyue, without anyone noticing, replaced the Flying Elixir with one she refined that was substandard.

This means that the Flying Elixir bought by Hong Fang at the "spit-blood price" maintains its effect for much less time than what Ye Lingyue had earlier stated as half an hour.

Despite being as astute as Feng Xun is, after hearing those few words from Ye Lingyue, he couldn’t help but be torn between laughter and tears, finally understanding why a sage once said: only women and children are the most difficult to provide for.

However, it’s precisely this Ye Lingyue who is the Ye Lingyue that Feng Xun knows.

He likes her, with all her good and bad traits.

Now that Ye Lingyue’s purse was full, she simply dragged Feng Xun along to stroll leisurely.

The items in the Earth-level Auction were indeed much better compared to those in the Dark Level Auction House.

In the midst, Ye Lingyue even found some Seventh Grade Elixir Pills, but their prices were as high as several thousands up to fifteen thousand Fifth-grade Elixir Pills.

"Amitabha Buddha—."

Suddenly, a Buddhist chant was heard. Ye Lingyue noticed that in a corner of the bustling auction, a monk in tattered Zen robes was seated cross-legged.

In front of him lay a copper bowl that had lost its lacquer finish.

Laid out before the monk was a kasaya, and on it, a piece of scripture the size of a tile.

Although there were many customers coming and going, not a single person seemed to notice the monk, as if he didn’t exist at all.

Soon, Ye Lingyue realized that this was because the monk had set up a Spiritual Restriction by his side, and only those who solve this Prohibition could discover his presence.

Quite an interesting monk; here to sell things, yet playing tricks with prohibitions.

Driven by curiosity, Ye Lingyue approached him.

On the scroll, skewed ancient characters were inscribed.

Unfortunately, Ye Lingyue couldn’t recognize these Sanskrit writings. Even if she bid on this Iron Scroll, it wouldn’t be of any use.

"This is an Elixir Book Iron Scroll from the Vedanta Sect," Feng Xun beside her spoke up.

"What’s the Vedanta Sect? Do you recognize the writing on it?" asked Ye Lingyue in surprise.

"Ancient Sanskrit is a language used by the Buddhist Sect to transcribe Buddhist Scriptures and some important documents. The Vedanta Sect is one of the offshoots from the Ancient Buddhist Sect, once very prosperous in the Central Plains. But due to the ravages of war and the prevalence of the Central Plains Cult, the Vedanta Sect has declined. This monk must be a survivor of the Vedanta Sect."

Feng Xun, having been frail since childhood, spent most of his time in bed.

To alleviate his loneliness, Emperor Beiqing invited a myriad of scholars from across the mainland to tutor him before he turned ten, among them a Great Power from the Buddhist Sect, who taught him a great deal of Buddhist Law and Ancient Sanskrit.

The knowledge about the Vedanta Sect was passed down to Feng Xun by that Buddhist Great Power.

"Then take a look quickly, see what’s recorded on this Elixir Book Iron Scroll." When Ye Lingyue first saw the Iron Scroll, she felt a mysterious power calling out to her.

"The Sanskrit on it has been scrambled. I can only roughly guess that it records a Martial Arts Technique from the Buddhist Sect. As for the Grade, I cannot be certain. It can only be verified by buying back this Iron Scroll and translating it anew," Feng Xun said, bowing in respect to the elder monk.

"The Buddha enlightens those with destiny; you two have a connection with this old monk," the elder monk said, his eyelids giving a slight twitch as he returned the gesture to Ye Lingyue and Feng Xun.

"Old monk, whether we have a connection with you is uncertain, but the money in my purse surely has a destined connection with you," Ye Lingyue said, finding it quite amusing. These Buddhist people, usually so aloof from worldly matters, in the end, still need to worry about their daily necessities.
