Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: The Enchantress Cao Ying and the Third Fragment Map

"Young lady is it your first time in Sacred Pill City"

Zi Yan was gleefully wandering from stall to stall her sweet laughter bringing life to the area forming a beautiful scenery all on her own

Hun Miesheng watched the cheerful scene and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his lips

This was after all the last peaceful moment this city would see

A voice suddenly rang beside Zi Yan's ear

She looked at the person blocking her path her expression dimming slightly

"Hey you're in my way"

Her eyes showed annoyance and her pouty appearance made her look even more adorable

Truly a rare beauty

Song Qing's eyes flashed with a subtle heat after years of chasing the Cao Clan's seductive young mistress without success he now found this girl even more appealing

If he could have her then that other one could be tossed aside

"I am Song Qing disciple of the Grand Elder of the Pill Tower if you don't mind I could show you around Sacred Pill City"

As he spoke he reached for her hand

"Leave"

A loud sound echoed through the street as Song Qing's body was sent flying like a broken kite smashing into a wall on the roadside

The onlookers froze in disbelief their mouths twitching

Such a pure and direct girl

Blood trickled from Song Qing's lips as he slowly stood up

Zi Yan giggled raising her tiny fist toward Hun Miesheng as if awaiting praise like a child

Hun Miesheng watched with amusement to him this was just childish play

"Brother can we go look over there something seems to be drawing me"

Zi Yan pointed toward a grand building not far away her tone uncertain

Hun Miesheng paused

On the building were six words

Sacred Pill City Auction House

Zi Yan carried the bloodline of the Ancient Void Dragon she had a natural affinity for sensing rare treasures and herbs

Perhaps there really was something of value there

He nodded pulling Zi Yan along toward the auction house

He carried little gold but that did not matter

If he wanted something he would simply take it

In half a day this city would become a ruin anyway

"Young master please wait"

A gentle voice called out again this one delicate soft and flirtatious enough to stir any man's heart

A woman stepped into their path her narrow eyes and delicate features giving her an enchanting presence her lazy posture and lifted lips oozed charm

"Witch"

Zi Yan crossed her arms and snorted softly

Cao Ying felt a strange impulse rising within her when she saw Hun Miesheng unlike the others he seemed different a man she wanted to conquer

Watching him fall under her spell would be her pleasure

"Young master heading to the auction house"

"Care to go together"

Her voice was sweet and tempting her soul power silently reaching out to touch Hun Miesheng's soul

Soul Charm Technique

"An amusing attempt"

"Too bad I am not interested"

Hun Miesheng gave a devilish smile sliding his finger across her cheek as he led Zi Yan away

Cao Ying's face turned pale as she suddenly coughed out blood

She clutched her head groaning in pain

System notification villain points plus one thousand

Hun Miesheng shook his head

To think a soul force at mere Mortal Peak level dared to charm him

He had not even retaliated and she was already half crippled

Her soul would deteriorate and within ten days she would become a fool

"Brother is a lecher"

Zi Yan huffed angrily

Hun Miesheng chuckled leaning close to her ear "You guessed right do you want a reward"

Zi Yan blushed

"How do we get inside Do we queue"

Seeing the long line at the entrance Zi Yan was stunned

Queue

Hun Miesheng chuckled softly

A Dou Sheng waiting in line

Space twisted and the two vanished

Inside Heavenly Booth Number Nine were a man and a woman their intimate sounds echoing faintly

Buzz

A youth with a demonic aura and a girl in a purple dress suddenly appeared

The couple turned in shock just as black flames consumed them into nothingness

Zi Yan blinked feeling she had just witnessed something strange

Hun Miesheng spread his soul power over the entire auction house trying to find what Zi Yan had sensed

But aside from some junk pills and artifacts the most valuable item he saw was merely a high grade Earth level Dou Technique fragment

Disappointed he sat and waited for the auction to start

Many people had gathered for the auction including members of the Dan Bai Xin and Cao clans

Even Pill Tower sent people

Cao Ying was among them but her face was pale a Dou Zun guard scanning the hall protectively.

"Looking for you brother"

Zi Yan teased

Hun Miesheng looked utterly bored

If they wanted to die no need to rush

After a dull opening ceremony the auction began

Item after item was paraded out heating up the crowd.

But to Hun Miesheng none were worth his attention.

Zi Yan had even less interest

Soon it was time for the highlight item

Next the first of our finale items please take a close look

The voluptuous auctioneer giggled as excitement surged again in the hall

A black box covered with red cloth was presented guarded by two Dou Zun exuding immense pressure

The moment the box appeared

Hun Miesheng's eyes opened a flicker of joy flashing across his face

His soul had already scanned the box's contents

So it really was this

The cloth lifted revealing a complex black map

Jinglian Demon Flame Fragment Map

After verification this appears to be a remnant of an ancient relic map

Its value should be obvious

Starting price five million gold coins

Place your bids

The hall erupted in whispers

Five million gold coins

What if it was just a random map What if the ruins were never found Was it worth it

Just as everyone hesitated a voice rang coldly

"I want that map"

The auction house was relieved at least it would be sold

But then

"However I only have one gold coin"
