The blindfolded youth ignores the killing intent being directed at him and continue to stare at the youth clad in white.
Before he realises it, he himself is already drooling.
It can't be helped. Cultivators who cultivates Yang are naturally weak to those of the opposite gender.
In Bai Lin's case, he is someone who cultivates Yin.
For most males, this is something they are unwilling to do. After all, males are beings of Yang. In order to cultivate Yin, they will have to catastrate their Yang source.
For the first time in his second life, Liu Yang meet someone who's Yin is as comparable as him.
Noticing the odd look from Jun Yanfu, Liu Yang chuckle, wiping his drool that is leaking out from the corner of his mouth.
"Pardon my lustful stare, the Dragon Emperor's lustful tendency am I right?" Liu Yang still can't help but wipes the drol leaking out from the corner of his lips.
Jun Yanfu sighs, "You are a lot like your old man, both are experts in making others hating your guts."
A look of disgustflashes across his face, but before he could retort, his Yang pulsed once more.
"For our next item, our Immortal Pavilion present to all the guests, a drop of Moon Water."
"A drop of Moon Water?"
"It's a natural treasure that can helps in enhancing the affinity of any spiritual artifacts of Yin related attributes."
"This type of treasure is many times better than the previous Freezing Flower."
"Aren't you interested in getting the drop of Moon Water?" Jun Yanfu asked.
Liu Yang tilted his head, pouring a glass of cold water into his mouth before completely drenching himself in order to calm his raging Yang.
"40,000 High grade Spiritual Stones." Liu Yang releases a growl, akin to a growling beast.
"40,001 High grade Spiritual Stones." A voice spoke, causing Liu Yang to stood up to see who it was who had dared to fight against him.
As expected, Bai Lin is staring back at him his eyes remaining cold. Still, Liu Yang can't help but notice something.
The corner of Bai Lin's lips had curled slightly.
A mocking smile.
If others had not noticed it, they won't be able to tell that he is mocking him.
Liu Yang inhaled, before exhaling a misty hot breathe through his clenched his teeth.
His Yang continues to pulse.
After reaching an enlightenment in the Yin aspect of the [ Yin and Yang Chaos Refining Sutra ], he came to a realisation to something he had not noticed before.
That is the ability of his Chaotic Ancestral Bones. Before, he had only thought that the bone structure gave him a great boost in his physical strength and increased his body cultivation potential.
However, now, he came to a realisation that the bones also brings forth balance to any opposite forces inside his body and this includes his essence.
For context, the first stage of the [ Yin and Yang Chaos Refining Sutra ] helped to create a pair of orbs inside his dantian, Yin orb and Yang orb. These orbs work similar to a cores of Core Formationist, capable of refining his essence.
As of now, the quality of his essence is comparable to a Core Formationist. This is something that is considered as impossible because as of right now, he is merely a Qi Refiner!
In addition, his Chaotic Ancestral Bones Structure also helps strengthening his yin, making his yin to he comparable to his yang despite only cultivating his yin recently.
This was to say, the side effects of cultivating his yang, the imbalance, uncontrolled mood swings and extreme yang etcetera should have gone.
However right now, he is feeling extreme lust as he stares at the youth in white.
As if not noticing his gaze, the white claded youth crosses his legs.
A casual act.
A casual act that is driving Liu Yang crazy.
Even then, he continues to suppress the desire within himself.
How disgusting of me, being so weak he is controlled by his own desire.
"50,000 High grade Spiritual Stones."
"50,001 High grade Spiritual Stones." Bai Lin added.
The two continue to fight in this war of bidding. None of them wanting to lose.
The rest had grown completely silence, not daring to offend any of them.
Wu Tiandi watch the scene in silence, taking a sip from his tea cup.
Jun Yanfu wants to laugh at the tension between the two juniors but decides not to say anything about it.
Before they knew it, "100,000 High grade Spiritual Stones." Bai Lin said only to he replied with a silence.
Looking up, he sees Liu Yang looking down on him with a smile.
"Brother Bai, congratulations on getting the drop of Moon Water."
Silence.
None of the cultivators dare to speak.
His words conveying a message.
You want this drop of water? Fine, take it. I'd nake sure no one dare to get this drop of water from you.
3....
2....
1....
"Congratulations to young master Bai for getting the drop of Moon Water." The female host explained only to receive a cold silent.
Liu Yang claps his hands, a small smile on his face.
Clap!
Clap!
Clap!
Soon afterwards, the entire hall starts clapping.
Bai Lin remains seated, staring at the spatial ring of the deceased Dark Moon Palace.
Added with his savings, he should have enough spiritual stones for this drop of Moon Water.
"I've been fooled."
He had wanted to makes Liu Yang bids for the Moon Water for the price that far exceeded it's original price like before.
However, he is after all still too inexperienced.
In the end, he still lost.
He list quite miserably.
The auction continue as though nothing had happened.
Items after items was showcased, each more valuable than the rest.
"For our next item, a pill personally concocted by the Alchemy Master Gold Lotus!"
Sure enough, at this point, everyone who had not bidded had pulled out their entire wealth.
"A Soul Alchemy Pill, capable of helping cultivators under the Foundation Building Realm to strengthen their soul!"
"100,000 High grade Spiritual Stones!"
"160,000 High grade Spiritual Stones!"
"500,000 High grade Spiritual Stones!"
"200 Divine grade Spiritual Stones!"
"A Divine grade Spiritual Stones! That is the highest grade of spiritual stones that can be found on our worls!"
Liu Yang let out a chuckle, "So in this world an Earth grade Spiritual Stones are known as a Divine grade?"
"What's next? A Divine grade Pill are referred to pills that Alchemy Grandmaster can concoct?"
When he sees the middle aged man's reaction, he can't help but exclaimed, "Seriously?"
Jun Yanfu said sternly, "It can't be helped, this is only a Lesser World after all."
Liu Yang still can't help but amused, "A small world, no matter what world, what important is not the items being sold, but the hands who made it."
If not, then how is it possible for his High grade pills he sold at the price of an Earth grade?
"Not that I'm complaining or anything, by the end of the day I still received 60% of the income for the pills." Liu Yang leaned his body against the railing.
The blindfolded youth looks down to meet Bai Lin's gaze.
"The graceful moon amidst the endless rain."
"No."
"The blessing beneath the moonlight."
"Yes that's more like it, the cold blessing beneath the moonlight."
"The blessing that many have chose to overlooked."
A small smile plastered on his face.
Bai Lin, noticing his gaze once again look up.
A small smile adorned Liu Yang's face.
A simple smile.
But in Bai Lin's mind, his smile carriesa deeper meaning.
This is what you get for offending me.
"For our next item we present a sedd of a Star Sun Lily, with the begining price at half a million.
"A seed of a Star Sun Lily!"
"A Star Sun Lily is a Divine grade spiritual herbs of pure Yang elements. For Alchemists, such treasure is extremely important and those who cultivates any yang related essence, consuming anything that had been fused with the juice of the Star Sun Lily will greatly improved their cultivation." A cultivator who is well known Alchemist can't help but explained.
"However, this is just a seed. In order to sprout, the Star Sun Lily requires a tremendous amount of care and fire spiritual Qi. Not to mention, it will take over five thousand years just for it to sprout, this is not to mention it growing."
"Such a shame that our world is lacking in the botanical Dao. This is probably the reason why such a heaven defying seed is being auctioned."
"Although the quality won't be high, however, consuming the seed will greatly increase the cultivation of the cultivator, even tempering their body in the process."
"Old Fu, is it really a good idea to auction a good treasure like a mutated Star Sun Lily at such a low price?" Liu Yang turns to the middle aged man.
Jun Yanfu chuckles, "The Star Sun Lily is something that even many Heavenly grade botanists has a hard time cultivate. Unlike Alchemy Dao or the Array or Formation Dao, the Botanical Dao is similar to the body path, a dying path."
"Besides, the Star Sun Lily Seed is something that had long passed it's best time to be planted."
"The person who found this seed had stated that the seed had shone so bright when he first found it."
"Such a shame, it could have had become the brightest star in the sky, shining the world like a sun shimmering in golden glow of glory, but now it's fate is sealed, forever destined to die out like many before them.
"501,000 High grade Spiritual Stones." Liu Yang raised his hand.
"You...." Jun Yanfu snapped his neck at him.
The corner of Liu Yang's lips curls into a smile, "Can't really let the treasure that the Alchemy Sovereign had wasted his entire life to find be wasted on these fools now can't we?"
The corner of Jun Yanfu's lips curls, forming a smile.
"You damn brat."
"For our next item, we present a piece of scrap metal
Silence.
What?
A scrap metal?
The female host smiles, "This piece of scrap metal was found by a rouge cultivator in an ancient ruins. On it, a simple array is engraved. From our experts, we have came to an understanding that this piece of beneath this scrap metal is a body refining art from an ancient time."
A female servant walks up to the stage carrying a tray where the scrap of metal is placed on top.
When Bai Lin's eyes landed on the scrap metal, his big round eyes lit up.
Noticing his reaction, the blindfolded youth raised his hand.
"500,000 High grade Spiritual Stones."
Once again, none of the cultivators dares to do anything.
The status of an Alchemy Master is extremely terrifying, even to the Four Great Forces.
As for Gold Lotus, he is not any ordinary Alchemy Master, but currently the youngest Alchemy Master available in this plane of existence.
In order to give him face, many have chosen to not bids for items they had laid their eyes on.
"800,000 High grade Spiritual Stones." A voice suddenly spoke, once again silencing the crowd.
All eyes turns to the blue haired man standing in the front.
Wu Tiandi.
Liu Yang grinned, a mocking a smile on his face.
"One million High grade Spiritual Stones." Liu Yang casually sais before sitting back.
"Five Divine grade Spiritual Stones."
Five Divine grade Spiritual Stones, or Earth grade Spiritual Stones.
That should be equal to five million High grade Spiritual Stones.
"Congratulations to senior Wu for winning this body tempering technique." Liu Yang cupped his fist, turning to the man clad in blue.
Wu Tiandi is silent, not even bothering to give Liu Yang a glance.
A few hours later, the auction event is concluded.
"Those who had won over any items auctioned tonight please go to the Immortal Recieving Suite for the payment process.
Bai Lin blinks his eyes, staring at the table before him.
He is currently sitting inside a fancy suite area, a fancy room that had been prepared for those who had purchased the items auctioned during the event.
The room is simple,a small round table with deserts and pastries paired with a glass of juice because he is still considered underage thanks to his shortness - he is, but he sees him as an adult -, a comfortable sofa, a fancy chandelier illuminating the room and the huge table where deserts are placed with numerous other forms of deserts.
As the process of getting the items ready will takes quite some times, the Immortal Pavilion had prepared some deserts for the guests to pass the time.
Bai Lin stares at the deserts on the table.
His head turning back the glass of juice his fingers are wrapped around.
He turns to the pastries.
He once again turns back to look at the glass of juice he is holding. His reflection can be clearly seens from the rose coloured liquid filling the glass.
"Young master Bai, congratulations fo-." The poor servant did not feel finished her words.
How could she when all the deserts and pastries that had been placed on the table are now gone.
Bai Lin blibks.
The servant blinks.
Bai Lin acts like nothing had happened, calmly wiping the breadcrumbs on his mouth with his sleeves.
The youth turns to the table, a surprised look plastered all over his face.
"Where did all the pastries go?" Bai Lin blinks, acting confused.
The corner of the servant's mouth twitched.
Taking a deep breath, the female servant smiled politely, "Young master Bai, this is all the items that you have had bidded for."
A tray is presented before him.
On it, a small porcelain bottle containing the drop of Moon Water that he had bidded for and jade slip.
A red ribbon is wrapped around the jade slip.
"This is...." Bai Lin's eyes can't help but landed on the jade slips.
"Ah, this is the body refining art that had been gifted to young maste...."
Bai Lin casually picks up the jade slip, unwrapped the red ribbon before throwing the jade slip to the ground.
Ignoring the shocked look of the female servant, Bai Lin raised his hands and untied his hair.
Long silky black strains down his back, swaying freely under the fancy chandelier. The hair tie, frayed and old hung between her fingers for a moment before she bit down on it, hanging it in between her teeth.
His hands move with elegance, grabbing the red ribbon with his fingers with his other hand and gathering his hair with the other.
A simple knot, and his long black hair is tied to a ponytail, held together by the red ribbon.
"Give the jade slip back to the person who bidded for it."
"But young master...."
The door was closed.
Bai Lin heaved a sigh of relief the moment when he steps out of the room.
However, his foot halted in place when he saw the door to the Immortal Recieving Suite the opposite of his was opened.
Liu Yang titled his head, a confident smile on his face as he looks down on the young swordman.
"Little brother Bai, did not expect to see you here."
