Chapter 100: 100: Back to Crimson Cloud Auction Hall (1)

Crimson Cloud Sect, Young Lord Lin Chiyu's Place.

Within a large wooden bathtub filled with warm, clear water and herbs, Lin Chiyu was meditating. This is the detoxifying prescription given to him by the Divine Doctor, Yue Xuexia. He had been bathing with this prescription for a month, and today is the last day for his treatment. After soaking in this herb water, the clear water suddenly turned murky as the poison inside Lin Chiyu's body was being cleansed. The process made the patient itchy and hot, but this shows how effective Yue Xuexia's prescription is.

Then appearance of the Divine Doctor was kept secret by the Crimson Cloud Sect. They didn't want other hidden powers to bother her and make her dislike them from spreading the news of their existence. They were afraid that something would happen to the Divine Doctor, as the man that was always by her side is like a demon lord no one could easily defeat.

They themselves, who are already at Peak Foundation Stage, couldn't even see through Taiyang's cultivation. This only means that either the young man possessed cultivation above theirs, which they couldn't see through, or he is wearing a defensive artifact that hides his cultivation.

After getting some of their disciples beaten up that day, including the first and second masters of Lin Chiyu, it shows that Taiyang possessed cultivation beyond the foundation stage and most likely had a bigger background behind him—the kind of background that can easily destroy a mid-rank sect like theirs.

Lin Chiyu's two masters were watching over him until he completed his medicinal bath. Once the water completely turned murky, Lin Chiyu came out and rinsed himself.

His first master, Shi Lixin, asked, "How do you feel, Xiao Yu?"

"It's very comfortable, First Master," responded Lin Chiyu as he circulated his qi in his body and no longer felt stifled by the blockage of his meridians.

The Second Master, Yun Siyan, said, "The Divine Doctress is truly amazing. She was able to cure you, which no one from the sect was able to. Today is supposed to be the day she is supposed to check your condition. Make sure you are presentable."

"Yes, Second Master!" said Lin Chiyu as he clasped his hands towards his two masters, who treated him as their son.

All of a sudden, a disciple from their sect comes running over and reports, "First Elder, Second Elder, Young Lord Lin! The Sect Master who arrived together with him is an elder from the Starfield Sect, Elder Kun!"

The two elder masters frowned while Lin Chiyu was stunned. The arrival of the Sect Master is already a surprise, but who would have thought someone from the Starfield Sect had also come over.

Lin Chiyu thought of something and said, "Masters, why did they choose to come over today of all days? Don't you think they..."

"Leave them be! Snort! Let them seek death on their own!" said the Second Master.

The First Master thought otherwise and said, "Elder Kun is quite a high-rank in the Starfield Sect. For him to come out of seclusion, did they predicted something again?"

"This is possible. Then it must have something to do with the Divine Doctor or that man beside her. Either way we should welcome the guests. Xiao Yu, make preparations for the guests and those incoming ones as well. But don't let yourself be seen by the Sect Master, that old cunning fox is not a good person," The First Master said.

Lin Chiyu, who is now full of energy said, "Yes, Masters!" After a while, he took his leave to do his tasks. On the other hand, his two masters come out to see their Sect Master and Elder Yun.

At the Plum Orchard Pavilion…

The two masters of Lin Chiyu had invited their Sect Master, Xiao Luan and the elder from the Starfield Sect, Elder Kun. The four of them right now are waiting at the pavilion with some disciples sending tea and snack for the guests. The tea is made up of spiritual tea leaves and the flower snacks were made from spiritual plum flower of 100 years old, both are full of qi for cultivator ingest. These were all under the orders of Lin Chiyu.

Sect Leader Xiao looked at the two elders of his sect, who left the Crimson Cloud Mountain because of their poison disciple, Lin Chiyu. It was said that Lin Chiyu was poison but the Evil Gu Sect. This poison is scentless and can hardly be detoxified. It not only blocks one meridians it also slowly eats away the host cultivation. That's why Lin Chiyu's 7th level Qi Refinement cultivation degraded to 5th level leaving him in despair.

The First Elder and Second Elder's love their disciple too much that they come to the Starfield Sect to seek for a path for Lin Chiyu's possible cure. These two old men gave up a lot of their treasure just to seek one star prediction from the Starfield Sect. They were given a path and that is this Crimson Cloud Auction Hall in the mortal realm. It was a low possibility of meeting their savoir, but it seems they were quite lucky and met Yue Xuexia, this era's Divine Doctor.

The First Elder, Xiao Lixin, calmly enjoyed his tea with the other two. Only the short-tempered Second Elder, Yun Siyan, looked at the three men, who were keeping silent as if they were here to enjoy tea together.

Elder Yun Siyan asked, "Would it be alright for this elder to ask why the Sect Master had descended and even brought Elder Kun from the Starfield Sect?"

"Oh~ I just dropped by to check on you two. You haven't returned to the sect for years and also want to ask if my Martial Nephew's current state." Sect Master Xiao responded. "As for Elder Kun, we bump each other on the way. He is also going for an errand from Great Elder Xia and wanted to check something in the Mortal Realm personally."

"My business isn't too much. The Great Elder wanted me to check about his mortal family in this mortal realm and to check whether they are still alive and send some gifts. I plan to buy some gifts for the Crimson Cloud Hall Auction Hall," said Elder Kun from the Starfield Sect.

The First Elder, Xiao Lixin, spoke, "If it is so, then I shall send a disciple to escort Elder Kun into the treasures to pick up some gifts personally."

"Then I shall thank you ahead of time. I shall go after having this good tea." Elder Kun said. His response is flawless, as if buying some treasures in the auction hall was his goal.

After a short silence between the old guys, Sect Master Xiao finally told them what he truly came for.

Sect Master Xiao said, "Actually, I heard some news from the Heavenly Sword Sect that the Divine Doctor appeared in the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall and wanted to check it with you two. Elder Xiao, Elder Yun, is this news true or not?"

The two elders stared at their sect leader without saying a word. After all, when Lin Chiyu was first found to be poisoned, this Sect Master was the first to remove the Chief Disciple position from Lin Chiyu and replace him with his own direct disciple. The first elder gestured towards the second elder with his eyes, saying that he was to shut his mouth up. 

Elder Xiao Lixin spoke, "Had the Sect Master check it with the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect? It is true that some disciples from the Heavenly Sword Sect had come over, but after buying a few things, they left even before the auctions were finished. I'm afraid that its fake news."

Sect Master Xiao frowned as if doubting the words of the first elder before him. But upon observation, the two elders were calm and looked even more bewildered. As for the Second Elder, the reason he looks confused is because he is thinking about how the Sect Master heard about the news of the Divine Doctor.

After all, knowing that the Divine Doctor had cured a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, there is no way they would spread the information about the savior, which would greatly displease the Divine Doctor.

This only means that there was someone spying on those three disciples that day and hearing about the news about the Divine Doctor. After all, there is a short commotion after the auction hall, which they might have failed to prevent spreading.

"It seems that I have indeed got the wrong information. Forgive my urgency, Elder Xiao, as you know our Sect's Great Elder Xin is sick. I was only trying to find a way to save him," the Sect Master of the Crimson Cloud Sect said.

First Elder Xiao said, "That's saddening news. Our Xiao Yu's poison has also gotten worse lately, and he is bedridden. I hope that the Sect Master doesn't mind not meeting these old men's sick disciple."

Sect. Master Xiao was cut off from his chance to request to meet Lin Chiyu. But he didn't think that the First Elder was lying, as this was always the situation for Lin Chiyu after being poisoned that day. He looked depressed as a façade and even sighed as if he were disappointed that he couldn't meet his Martial Nephew.

He said, "If that's the case, there is no need to see Martial Nephew Lin for now. It is better if he rest completely until he is better."

"We thank the Sect Master for his concerns," the First Elder and Second Elder of the Crimson Cloud Sect said.

After getting the information he wanted, Sect. Master Xiao wanted to take his leave, as he himself could not be away from the sect for too long or there would be chaos. He stood up, preparing to leave.

"If that's the case, then I can only return dejectedly. I hope that the First Elder and Second Elder still treat the Crimson Cloud Sect as home. The Great Elder could hardly hold on. If you heard some news about the Divine Doctor, I hope you report it to the Sect. Even with the help of the Starfield Sect, it's very hard to find the whereabouts of this era's Divine Doctor," said Sect Master Xiao.

Elder Xiao said, "We shall keep the Sect Master's words in mind."

"Then this old man is going to leave. How about we return together, Elder Kun?" asked Sect Master Xiao.

Elder Kun from the Starfield Sect responded, "Sect Master Xiao jest. This old man hasn't completed my mission from the Great Elder. I might get punished if I return without finishing this task."

"That's not good then; I shall go ahead and take my leave first," said Sect. Master Xiao as the Second Elder had escorted him out properly.

After the two had taken their leave, Elder Kun, who was enjoying his tea, raised his eyes to look at Elder Xiao. He, as someone who could predict the future, already knew that the Divine Doctor had definitely met Lin Chiyu, as he had come over to her to pick up the rest of the payment for the divination the Great Elder had done for Lin Chiyu years ago.

Elder Kun said, "I didn't expect that Elder Xiao's relationship with his own sect master had turned so sour that you started keeping things."

"I hope that Elder Kun will not speak a word about the Divine Doctor," said First Elder Xiao.

Elder Kun wanted to say that things are unpredictable and there might be someone who would give this kind of information to their sect; if that happened, it would be hard to hide it.

"Don't worry, Elder Xiao. You don't know how expensive the information is about the Divine Doctor. There is hardly anyone who can buy it in our sect. It just that I can't promise about hiding it if one brought out a compensation enough to buy it," said Elder Kun.

The First Elder was stunned at first when he heard that the information about the Divine Doctors cost so much that even Sect Leader Xiao couldn't afford it.

As if reading Elder Xiao's words, Elder Kun chuckled and said, "It is well-known how stingy Sect Master Xiao is. Even if he could afford it, he didn't want to buy it."

"Hmp! Indeed!" First Xiao couldn't agree more with these words.
