Suddenly, people from the Soul Refining Sect offered the pill for 2 million spirit stones. Hearing this, the people attending the event were instantly shocked. How could they offer a pill at such a fantastical price?
Yunxihua, upon seeing someone offering the Yin Dew Drop Pill at such a high price, immediately sought information regarding that person's background.
"Boy!! Those are people from the Soul Refining Sect, and the one in the middle is the Young Master of the Soul Refining Sect, Hanfeng. For now, do not even think about provoking those people," said the Primordial Dragon.
"So, the people dressed in black are from the Soul Refining Sect?" Yunxihua asked.
"Yes… Back then, when I fought a divine creature and was killed by it, my soul—bearing the yang attribute—was taken by the Soul Refining Sect," replied the Primordial Dragon.
The auction continued. The Yin Dew Drop Pill was now obtained by the Soul Refining Sect, and the next pill was brought out by the elder of the Flower Pavilion.
"Alright, the pill I will present now is a 9th-grade peak pill, the Bodhi Chakra Pill. This pill was created from nine Heavenly Tribulation trials and extracted by experts of our clan," said the Flower Pavilion elder.
"This is no ordinary pill, because it contains nine elements and two attributes—yin and yang. The starting price is 50 million spirit stones," said the Flower Pavilion elder.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and rushed to compete for the Bodhi Chakra Pill. They were willing to spend all their wealth just for a single pill.
"Boy… you must obtain that pill," said the Primordial Dragon.
"Senior, but that pill is extremely expensive. We could buy it for 1 billion spirit stones using one year of our city's revenue, but what about the city's sustainability?" Yunxihua replied.
"Heh, boy… You don't need to spend that much. We'll just seize the pill after the auction ends," said the Primordial Dragon with a scheming smile.
"Senior," Yunxihua asked curiously, "why do you want that pill so badly? What is so special about it?"
"Foolish boy!! That pill is a soul-forming pill used to restore a soul that has been damaged or lost. I need that pill to reconstruct my yang attribute," replied the Primordial Dragon.
"Alright, Senior. But before that, help me gather information about the Meimei Clan," said Yunxihua.
"Yes, yes, fine," replied the Primordial Dragon.
Back at the auction, everyone continued competing for the pill, offering increasingly high prices.
"We from the He Clan cannot lose. I bid 200 million!"
"Tch, how poor. We from the Chu Clan offer 350 million!"
"I bid 500 million," said the Young Master of the Soul Refining Sect.
People immediately began whispering about the Young Master of the Soul Refining Sect.
"We must not offend the Soul Refining Sect. It's better to let it go," said the surrounding crowd.
The Hong Clan boldly offered 550 million.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. "The Hong Clan is incredibly daring," the people around exclaimed.
The Young Master of the Soul Refining Sect stared sharply at the young lady of the Hong Clan—Honghuang—who returned his gaze with a cunning smile.
Unwilling to lose, the Soul Refining Sect offered 1 billion spirit stones, causing everyone to fall silent.
Yunxihua released a threatening burst of aura, instantly shocking everyone. They were astonished, wondering who was behind the private room that had just emitted such an oppressive aura.
"Miss Hong, it would be better to let this go and allow the Young Master of the Soul Refining Sect to obtain the pill. I do not wish to become enemies with your clan," said Yunxihua.
Hearing this, Honghuang became extremely curious about the identity of the person behind that room.
The Young Master of the Soul Refining Sect immediately clasped his fists in respect and expressed his gratitude to Yunxihua.
"Senior, thank you for your support. Please reveal yourself," said the Young Master of the Soul Refining Sect.
Yunxihua replied coldly, her aura overwhelming, "There is no need to reveal myself. You will know in time."
After the auction ended, Yunxihua immediately went to look for Yuyin.
Standing before Yuyin, Yunxihua revealed her identity. Yuyin immediately bowed respectfully to the Holy Maiden, the ruler of the city.
"Yuyin, tell me—what are you and your clan planning to do in this city?" Yunxihua asked.
Yuyin was shocked that Yunxihua knew her name, even though they had just met.
"Holy Maiden, this junior does not understand what the Holy Maiden means," replied Yuyin.
Yunxihua pointed her sword at her and threatened to kill her.
"Speak now!!" said Yunxihua.
Xufangyu suddenly appeared by teleportation and approached Yunxihua.
"Holy Maiden, it turns out that the Meimei Clan was framed by a group of people from the Soul Refining Sect who disguised themselves as Meimei Clan members. The information regarding the Zhang Clan was also fabricated—the Zhang Clan were victims of the Soul Refining Sect's crimes," reported Xufangyu.
Hearing this, Yunxihua realized she had been manipulated and immediately rushed toward the Young Master of the Soul Refining Sect, who was already on his way back to the Soul Refining Sect.
"Xufangyu, guard Yuyin and report this matter to Xu Bailong," ordered Yunxihua.
"Yes, Holy Maiden," replied Xufangyu.
