Chapter 102: 102: Back to Crimson Cloud Auction Hall (3)

After Elder Kun was escorted to the guest of the Crimson Cloud Auction Hall, as soon as the disciple that escorted him into the room had disappeared, he instantly puked blood. The appearance of Yue Xuexia is extremely similar to that of a person he knows. So, he tried to divine the young lady's life. It was still alright at first, as she is indeed a mortal after being born. But when he tried to see more into her future, especially on the day she turned 26 years old, he saw the scene of a man born in the sun. An extremely gorgeous yet inhuman man.

Wearing gold-red cultivation clothes on him, his long red hair flows like a strand of boiling magma, covered in golden fire as if he had been given the blessing of the sun. His vertical golden irises with red linings look down on him without expression. He is calm, majestic, and dignified, as if he were the emperor of the world, overseeing both mortals, cultivators, and gods under his gaze.

Elder Kun was mesmerized until he received a glance from this otherworldly-looking man and heard him say, "Mortal, you've seen something you shouldn't have." Then he woke up in reality and met the cold gaze of Taeyang's crimson eyes looking at him with disdain and dislike.

He coughed strongly and puked out blood. More than what he did before. A few burnt flesh was coughed out by him as he clutched into his body that seemed to be on fire. His blood boiling causing his internal organs to burn and melt if not for him protecting it with his qi. He had gone against the heavens and stars and offended a God. This is a divine punishment for those who shouldn't have seen something they aren't allowed to.

Elder Kun mumbles while in pain, "She is protected by a God. She is protected by a God."

At the Plum Blossom Pavilion...

Lin Chiyu was not fully detoxified. All traces of poison in him were removed by Yue Xuexia's prescription and acupuncture session. The acupuncture done on Lin Chiyu didn't take too much. Just a few minutes was enough to remove the hidden danger in his body.

Yue Xuexia took back her needles and gave them to Tan Bingyu to be sterilized. "You're all healed. There are no more traces on you. As I said before, you had gained resistance to most poison but still avoided getting poison. After all, in your world, there should be more potent poison than the one you have suffered. With this, your problem is resolved. Now for the payment. Just give me everything on the list." She handed a written note to Lin Chiyu.

Second Elder Yun commented honestly, "What neat and beautiful writing. Did the Divine Doctor practice calligraphy?"

The first one they noticed was the elegant calligraphy that made the words on the ordinary paper that was now in Lin Chiyu's hand. His two masters had a peek into what was written on it and noticed that what the Divine Doctor wanted was just common and uncommon herbs that were many from their garden. The number she needs isn't much either, and it is most likely something that can be considered payment for her service in curing Lin Chiyu's poison.

Yue Xuexia took a sip of her milk tea and responded, "Just to pass the time."

"Divine Doctor, what is written on this list are just common immortal herbs. We have many of them. We can give it all to you," the First Elder, Xiao Lixin, said.

Yue Xuexia was the first one to decline. "No need. My herb garden is too small to plant common herbs. I will just buy here when I need some."

"If that is so, then I, Lin Chiyu, promise to give you a good discount for a rare immortal herb. As for the common ones, I can send some to the Mystic Mountain for replanting, so the Divine Doctor would have to worry about it. Based on the herbs the Divine Doctor wanted, most of them are used to concoct pills. Is the Divine Doctor also a Pill Refiner? I hope you don't mind me asking."

"Hm. I concoct pills once every month. Most of it was sent to the Mystic Mountain to provide for my people. It's just ordinary pills that one can get anywhere," said Yue Xuexia.

On the other hand, a gleaming smile appeared on Tan Bingyu's face. Obviously, these ordinary pills this Divine Doctor said are not ordinary ones if the Mystic Mountain is using them for their cultivation. Especially when he feels that Tan Bingyu's cultivation is only one foot away from reaching the foundation stage. She can most likely promote her strength to the foundation stage any time based on the thickness and purity of qi in her body.

The two elders also noticed this and looked at one another. They chose to act shamelessly as thick as their faces and asked, "Would it be alright for these old men to see a pill the Divine Doctor had made?"

"It's only a mortal-grade pill. So, I doubt you would be interested. Sister Bingyu, can you give away a few to these old gentlemen?"

"Of course, Mistress."

Tan Bingyu's smile widened when she heard about her Mistress's words. She pulled out one Longevity Pill from her space bag and a small, exquisite box appeared on her palm. She passed it on to Elder Xiao.

"Please receive it, Elders," she said.

The strong scent of immortal herbs assaulted their noses. The fragrance of this pill shows that it is indeed a pill of mortal grade, but how come this scent alone was enough to uplift their ragged breathing, giving them more energy? The First Elder opened the box and was speechless; even Lin Chiyu, who sneaked between his masters, recognized what kind of pill was inside the box.

Lin Chiyu exclaims, "Longevity Pill!!!"

The Second Elder immediately closed the box and said, "A'Xin, don't open it without thinking. The effects of the pill will decapitate the more it is exposed to air."

"Sorry. I didn't expect that it's a longevity pill," Elder Xiao muttered.

Then he looked at the young lady, now munching on the flower pastries on the table. The young man beside her saved a few on a smaller plate for her to enjoy. As for the rest, it had longed to enter his stomach.

The First Elder Xiao asked, "Divine Doctor, this longevity... what is its effect?"

"Since it's just a mortal-grade, of course, the effect isn't as powerful as the high-grade one. It only extends one's lifespan for 3-5 years. This can only be eaten three times, and eating too much would no longer extend lifespan, but it can promote healing much more effectively than mortal-grade healing pills," Yue Xuexia explained.

Silence~

She is so busy eating her pastries that Yue Xuexia doesn't see the widened eyes of the two elders in front of her. There was also a short silence in the area, which was abruptly ended by Tan Bingyu, who sneered and apologized.

Pfft!

Tan Bingyu coughed and said, "Ahem! Pardon me."

Lin Chiyu, who is business-minded in the whole auction hall, asked, "Divine Doctor, I would like to propose a business to you. Can you provide our auction hall with one longevity pill a year? Once it is sold, we will only take a 30 percent cut of the total selling price and 70 percent will be given to you. We shall also hide the fact that this longevity pill is made by you."

"I only need 60 percent," Yue Xuexia said. With a wave of her hand, two similar-looking small boxes appeared on the table, as well as a small rectangle one.

"This is a parting gift. The one inside the long one is a petal of the Snow Frost Lotus I bought from your hall. It should help you solidify your unstable cultivation. One box for your other master, the other is for you to sell this year."

"We thanked the Divine Doctor," the three collectively said.

Lin Chiyu and the two elders understood what Yue Xuexia meant and immediately bowed their heads towards her. Yue Xuexia nods her head in acceptance of their gratitude.

"Our business is finished. I heard there's a stone gambling auction in your hall today. Is it possible for us to check on it?" Yue Xuexia asked.

Lin Chiyu said, "Of course. Let me escort the Divine Doctor to the venue."

"Don't call me that in a public area. You may call me Miss Yue or My Lady," said Yue Xuexia.

Lin Chiyu politely complied and said, "As you wish, my lady!"

After a few more pleasantries, Lin Chiyu escorted their group of three to the venue. Once the larger group had left the pavilion, the two elders looked at each other and dashed to take the things to the table.

"A'Xin! One of those longevity pills is mine!" declared Second Elder Yun, but his friend Dao Companion didn't give it to him.

The First Elder Xiao said, "I know. I will keep it for you. Neither of us don't need to use this pill yet. I will transfer it to a box with a preserving formation for longer keeping. 3-5 years is enough for one to give a cultivator another opportunity to break through. This pill is extremely important to those dying old men from the cultivation realm. After all, a longevity pill is extremely hard to make. It needs strict requirements for fire as it requires a Natal Flame of absolute Yin and Yang."

"Are you saying that the Divine Doctor possessed a Natal Flame of Yin and Yang? That is impossible! Those things are extinct!" exclaimed the Second Elder.

The First Elder said, "Maybe it was given by Lord Taiyang. That man's background is too mysterious, and he himself is very powerful."

"I have a suggestion. Since we are planning on detaching ourselves from the Crimson Cloud Sect, wouldn't serving in the Mystic Mountain be better? They get these kinds of rare pills every month. Maybe the old man of the Tan Clan had longed to break through to another level," the Second Elder said.

"Not a bad idea. But first, we need to make a clear end with the sect. Sect Master Xiao would definitely not let us go when he knew that we hid the fact that we personally knew the Divine Doctor. Worst case scenario, the Crimson Cloud Sect would be destroyed by Lord Taiyang if they pushed the Divine Doctor around. You've seen how protective he is when Elder Kun acted in such a way. I don't mind the Crimson Cloud Sect being gone, but our friends are still there." The First Elder said.

The Second Elder said, "I know. I heard Elder Qi was also about to reach the end of his lifespan. Should we..."

"Let's wait for a while more," said the First Elder with a frown.

Sigh~

"Okay, I will listen to you," said Second Elder Yun.
