Crazy-Gossiping-C43

Chapter 43

When dealing with the Immortal Fuxian, Ning Xu felt no psychological burden at all.

Not to mention that Fuxian had initially attempted to possess her, later on, Fuxian almost succeeded in possessing Wu Lucheng. She could not have let Fuxian off lightly.

According to the information revealed by the talismans Fuxian drew during her life, she had considerable abilities, and she might have truly been a great cultivator. If Fuxian succeeded in possession, both she and the Innocent Cultivator would face trouble.

Fuxian knew that her words and actions weren’t empty; when she tried to speak, Ning Xu immediately threw a “Silence Talisman” at her.

It wasn’t hard to guess the intent behind Ning Xu’s use of the Silence Talisman, which was to prevent Fuxian from crying out in pain.

After using the Silence Talisman, she didn’t hesitate and immediately took out a “Great Palm Talisman” to throw at Fuxian.

In the next instant, a giant palm appeared in the air, occupying most of the stone chamber with immense power.

A wind began to swirl in the stone room at an unknown time.

Without lingering in the air, the giant palm slammed down from above towards Fuxian, who was trapped in place.

This palm was enormous and appeared to have considerable power.

Sure enough, as soon as the palm struck, Fuxian fainted.

Ning Xu commented, “The talismans she drew were really effective.”

【Right? This old monster lived for so many years; she certainly had some skills.】 The Melon-Eating System clicked its tongue.

“What?” Ning Xu asked.

【The divine sense she left behind has weakened a lot.】

Ning Xu leaned in for a closer look and found that Fuxian’s divine sense was indeed much weaker than before. It seemed that the Great Palm Talisman used against her divine sense worked wonders.

Ning Xu asked, “Are there any treasures left in this stone room?”

The Melon-Eating System disdainfully replied, 【No. The only wealth she left behind were the talismans she drew.】

If Fuxian had left behind her divine sense to find a successor, it would not have been Ning Xu and the others here today. The innate Dao body in the secret realm had already been stamped as a gifted one by the Melon-Eating System.

However, this innate Dao body would certainly not lack treasures for self-defense, so possessing her would be extremely difficult.

Thus, after careful selection, Fuxian chose Ning Xu and her two companions, who seemed to have poor talent and looked somewhat impoverished. But she never imagined that she would pick the wrong ones.

Among the three, the seemingly ordinary three-spirit-root female cultivator turned out to be a piece of exceptionally hard iron.

But these thoughts would remain with Fuxian alone.

After realizing there were no treasures left in the stone room, Ning Xu lost interest in staying any longer.

She glanced at the closed stone door behind her and said to her teammates, “Let’s search for the switch and see if we can find an exit.”

The Innocent Cultivator replied, “Okay!”

Wu Lucheng, still shaken, gritted his teeth and began searching for the mechanism within the stone room.

Fuxian did not intend to stay trapped in the stone room for long, so the door wasn’t difficult to open.

Soon, the Innocent Cultivator found a hidden button in a corner. After pressing it, the previously impenetrable stone door slowly opened again.

Just as Ning Xu was about to step out, she suddenly remembered that Fuxian was still unconscious.

She thought for a moment and took out a “Shrink Talisman” from the pile of talismans.

After using the Shrink Talisman on Fuxian, she slowly shrank in size from a normal human form.

Not satisfied with this, Ning Xu threw three more Shrink Talismans at Fuxian. After using a total of four Shrink Talismans, Fuxian finally became the size of a fist.

Ning Xu casually held the fist-sized Fuxian in her palm and said to her teammates, “Let’s go!”

The Innocent Cultivator nodded, “Alright!”

After leaving the stone room, the door did not close behind them.

The stone room had turned into an ordinary one.

After leaving the stone room, Ning Xu and the others searched the surroundings and successfully found a path leading to the surface. After a short ascent, they began to hear sounds from above.

Wu Lucheng whispered, “Someone is fighting?”

Ning Xu replied, “It seems so.”

The three of them, Ning Xu being at the fourth level of Qi Refining, the Innocent Cultivator at the third level, and Wu Lucheng at the second level, were a bit lacking in cultivation for the secret realm. Therefore, Ning Xu had no intention of going out to watch the battle.

Such fights were common in the secret realm. The battle would likely end soon, and they could go out then.

But at that moment, the Melon-Eating System suddenly shouted.

【Host! Auction house! Auction house!】

Ning Xu asked, “What?”

The Melon-Eating System quickly explained, 【Weren’t we planning on getting the next auction house?】

【By chance, a seller inherited the auction house from his elder】

【He believes he might not be suited to run the auction house, so he decided to sell it cheaply.】

【But no matter how cheap the auction house is, it won’t be dirt cheap. A month has passed, and no one has taken it over, not even an inquiry.】

After hearing this, Ning Xu calmly said, “But I don’t have any spirit stones.”

The 850,000 high-grade spirit stones she earned from selling century-old spirit marrow had long been used up to exchange for an eighth-grade Revitalizing Pill.

At this moment, she was penniless.

Her storage ring was emptier than her face.

After hearing Ning Xu’s words, the Melon-Eating System chuckled, 【So what? He’s now fighting one against three, surrounded above.】

【These people are targeting his auction house.】

【He’s at a disadvantage, heavily wounded, and won’t last much longer.】

【If you want his auction house, just save him!】

It seemed the Melon-Eating System wanted to get the auction house for free?

However, this was actually a good idea.

The auction house owner’s life would be worth more than the auction house, right?

But…

“How strong are the two cultivators attacking him?”

The Melon-Eating System hesitated for a moment and then slowly said, 【Two at the seventh level of Qi Refining, and one at the sixth level.】

Ning Xu: !!!

This auction house didn’t seem easy to take. Fortunately, she had many of Fuxian’s talismans. Saving the person should be easy enough.

She quickly communicated her plan to the two teammates, “I’ll go up first to check the situation. You two stay here?”

The Innocent Cultivator immediately replied, “I’ll go with you.”

Ning Xu thought for a moment and said, “Since the situation up there is unclear, I’ll scout first. If I see any innocent parties in a weak position, I’ll help…” She had already set up the excuse to save someone.

The Innocent Cultivator responded, “Together.”

Ning Xu turned to Wu Lucheng and asked, “What about you? Will you stay here or come along?”

Wu Lucheng gave a bitter smile, saying, “I’ll stay here. I don’t want to slow you down.” His cultivation was the lowest, and following them would only be a burden.

Ning Xu nodded, making up her mind, “Alright, stay here. We’ll come find you later.”

After saying that, Ning Xu and the Innocent Cultivator left the underground and quickly flew toward the surface.

During the short time it took to reach the surface, Ning Xu explained her plan to the Innocent Cultivator.

He nodded in agreement, “Alright!”

As soon as they emerged, the four cultivators fighting were alerted to their presence.

However, they were too preoccupied with their own battle to care about them.

One cultivator arrogantly shouted, “Qi Er, stop struggling. Hand over the key, and we’ll give you a quick death!”

The one called Qi Er remained silent, struggling to hold on.

At this moment, Ning Xu didn’t need to ask; she knew who the auction house owner was.

She made a hand gesture to the Innocent Cultivator, “Now!”

Then, she threw a large number of talismans into the center of the battlefield. These talismans included Explosive Talismans, Heavenly Fire Talismans, Lightning Talismans, Smoke Talismans… The moment the Smoke Talismans activated, thick fog covered the scene.

Taking advantage of the cultivators’ confusion, the Innocent Cultivator grabbed Qi Er by the collar and followed Ning Xu as they quickly left the battlefield.

By the time the three cultivators recovered from the talismans’ attacks, Ning Xu and her companions had already disappeared without a trace.

After safely landing, Qi Er looked at the unfamiliar man and woman in front of him.

Though he didn’t know why they had acted kindly, they had saved his life.

He cupped his hands and sincerely thanked them, “Thank you, fellow Daoists. I can never repay the life-saving favor, only…”

At this moment, a disdainful electronic voice suddenly rang in his ears.

【Offer yourself as a reward? No thanks.】

【You’ve killed three fiancées, don’t you realize anything about yourself?】

Qi Er: ???

Who’s voice is that?

He looked closely at the two cultivators, but couldn’t read anything from their faces.

Suppressing his various thoughts, he finished what he was saying, “I’ll repay you with spirit stones.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the voice continued.

【Well, at least it’s not offering yourself.】

【Look at his feminine appearance; no wonder he killed three fiancées.】

【This appearance not only kills wives, but also shortens life and leaks wealth! It’s the worst kind of face in all the physiognomy.】

Qi Er: !!!

【Host, I suggest you get the auction house for free and then hire him to run it. After all, we’re busy and don’t have time to manage it ourselves.】

【Of course, before hiring him, make sure to give him a beauty pill and change his face.】

【Otherwise, with that face, he’s really super unlucky! His wealth will be scared away!】

Ning Xu: …

Qi Er: ???
