#33 - No Heart
The entire venue fell silent.
The next second, a wave of uproar erupted.
Countless gazes focused on Wen Yue's face, filled with disdain.
"Raising the price maliciously when you have no money, aren't you ashamed?"
A middle-aged man stood at the window of Box 57, mocking.
"You, Zhao!"
Wen Yue's face alternated between green and white; it was the Zhao family's patriarch, his Wen family's adversary.
He gnashed his teeth fiercely, his face burning.
He had only been thinking about deliberately raising the price, forgetting that after bidding for the Vajra Fist, he only had six million left in his card. He had truly embarrassed himself beyond measure!
"I say, Patriarch Wen, your Wen family is quite adept at pretending to be wealthy, aren't you? Why are you acting like a big shot when you have no money?"
The Ying family's patriarch also came to the window, sneering.
"Humph! This patriarch simply didn't bring enough money!"
Wen Yue flicked his sleeve and disappeared from the window. After returning to the box, he was overcome with anger, and a mouthful of blood rushed to his throat, almost spilling out.
"Damn it, damn that Jun Wu Xie!"
He clutched his aching liver, feeling like he was about to explode with anger!
"Despicable, utterly despicable!"
He hated Jun Wu Xie intensely, and was also furious with himself for allowing a teenager to disrupt his mind, causing him to lose his composure.
As the head of the Wen family, this was truly unacceptable, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a fool of himself!
However, when he thought of his daughter dying at his hands, his son being crippled by him, and being swindled out of over ten million gold in public, he couldn't control his emotions and couldn't calm down at all!
"Patriarch, our Wen family has suffered heavy losses, but as long as we can kill that brat, all losses are insignificant!" The Second Elder said with a dark face.
"I will peel off his skin and use it to cover my Wen family's patriarch chair!" Wen Yue roared, abruptly standing up: "I will go find Tian Gui, the manager of this spirit boat, right now! This time, we must ensure absolute success!"
… …
At the auction venue, no one was bidding anymore.
In the end, Jun Wu Xie successfully acquired the Blood Gold Ring for six million one hundred thousand.
"Everyone, next is the final item of this auction—the Cave Heaven Pill!"
"What, the Cave Heaven Pill?"
The entire venue erupted, and everyone in each box rushed to the windows, their eyes burning with desire.
"That's right, it is the Two-Star Exquisite Spirit Pill—the Cave Heaven Pill, which can help warriors break through their shackles and enter the Cave Heaven Realm!" Yun Wan opened a jade box, inside which was a light golden pill, and between the flow of medicinal energy, two stars could be faintly seen.
The entire venue was filled with rapid breathing.
"The Cave Heaven Pill, with a starting price of five million gold, and each bid must not be less than three hundred thousand!"
"Five million five hundred thousand!"
"Seven million!"
"Eight million!"
… …
People went crazy, bidding frantically.
Soon, the auctioneers in the hall were silenced by the frantic bidding, their faces full of unwillingness.
The people in the VIP boxes were fiercely competitive, not giving in at all.
In a short while, the price of this Cave Heaven Pill soared to fifteen million gold!
"Wait, Miss Yun Wan, if the funds are not enough, can we use other items to estimate the value as collateral?"
Someone asked this question, and no one objected. Everyone knew that the price of this Cave Heaven Pill would break the sky!
Yun Wan said: "Of course, you can. The auction will be temporarily suspended for half an hour, and everyone can take out items to estimate the value in advance as collateral."
"The lure of this Cave Heaven Pill is truly not small."
Jun Wu Xie sighed. It was just that he didn't need this thing. As a body cultivator, even if he cultivated the Cave Heaven, it would be different from others.
"Of course."
Su Lan smiled faintly and said, "In cities like Fengtian, there are basically no Cave Heaven Realm warriors on the surface. Whichever of the four major families has one more Cave Heaven Realm warrior can completely suppress the other families and become the first. Therefore, they will spare no expense, even if it means going bankrupt."
"Young Master Jun, this is your Harmony Fruit and Blood Gold Ring."
At this time, a beautiful woman with a fiery figure walked in with a jade tray.
On the jade tray were two jade boxes, containing the spirit fruit and the ring.
Jun Wu Xie swiped his card to pay, feeling like he had instantly become poor, with less than a million gold left.
However, today's harvest was truly too great.
Not only did he get the Harmony Fruit, but he also bid for an ancient ring of immeasurable value!
"Young Master Jun, are you still watching the final round of the auction?"
Su Lan asked.
"I'm not watching anymore."
Jun Wu Xie looked at the Harmony Fruit in his hand and said to Su Lan, "Steward Su, please do me a favor."
"Helping you use the Harmony Fruit to treat your sister, right?"
Su Lan smiled and said, "It's just a small effort."
"Thank you!"
Jun Wu Xie got up and left the box.
Back in the room, Su Lan sat in front of the bed, taking Little Yue Yao's pulse, and strands of true energy flowed through her meridians, traveling through her limbs and bones.
Gradually, a hint of strangeness appeared on Su Lan's face.
"Steward Su, what's wrong?"
Jun Wu Xie saw that her expression was different and became nervous.
"It's nothing."
Su Lan shook her head, opened the jade box, took out the Harmony Fruit, refined its medicinal energy, and slowly injected it into Yue Yao's body.
Her palm moved over Yue Yao's body, guiding the medicinal energy with true energy.
During this process, Yue Yao's body trembled constantly, making Jun Wu Xie's heart clench.
"This Harmony Fruit can only balance the fire poison and cold poison in her body for a month at most. You need to be mentally prepared…"
Su Lan said, her hand also moving to Yue Yao's chest, but suddenly stopped, a flash of horror flashing in her beautiful eyes.
"How… could it be?"
She stared blankly at Little Yue Yao, who was pale in her unconsciousness, and a storm surged in her heart.
"Steward Su, why aren't you continuing?"
Jun Wu Xie stared at her tightly. The Harmony Fruit was currently the only hope to save Yue Yao. Once an accident occurred, then Yue Yao might…
"Don't worry, she will be fine for the time being. This Harmony Fruit can balance the fire and cold poison in her body."
Su Lan said casually, "Do you know how the fire and cold poison in your sister's body formed?"
Jun Wu Xie was silent for a moment, and said: "I only learned some time ago that she has fire and cold poison in her body, and I don't know the specific reason. You are a physician, you should know better than me."
"My medical skills are shallow, and I can't find the root of the fire and cold poison."
Su Lan sighed and continued to guide the medicinal energy.
Where the medicinal energy flowed, the frost on Little Yue Yao's body gradually receded, her pale face gradually regained some rosiness, and her body no longer trembled and convulsed.
Jun Wu Xie stepped forward and held Yue Yao's hand, asking Su Lan: "She… is she alright?"
"She will wake up soon."
Su Lan looked a little tired. After speaking, she took a deep look at Jun Wu Xie and Yue Yao, and left the room.
"Did I make a mistake? No, I definitely didn't make a mistake…"
After returning to her room, Su Lan was stunned. That little girl, she actually has no heart!
How could a person without a heart be alive?
Not to mention ordinary people, even practicing warriors would hardly survive without a heart.
Unless they reached the level of the guardians in her sect, who were almost about to achieve a leap in life and shed their mortal bodies, it would be possible.
"The elders in the sect always say that the human body is like a miniature world, like heaven and earth, and needs to be balanced. Once the balance is broken, various problems will arise. The heart belongs to fire. Without a heart, the balance will naturally be broken, the yang energy will be unbalanced, and the yin energy will grow, turning into fire poison and cold poison…"
"What is the origin of Young Master Jun and his sister? Are they just disciples of a small family in Qingyang City? I'm afraid things are not that simple, there must be unknown secrets! Should I report this matter to the sect?"
Su Lan frowned slightly, hesitant for a moment.
If she reported this matter to the sect, would it bring disaster to Jun Wu Xie and Yue Yao?
"No, I can't directly inform the sect, otherwise, he may become my enemy in the future. Perhaps, I can report this matter to the Little Saintess, so that even if the sect finds out in the future, they will not blame me for concealing the crime…"
After repeated consideration, Su Lan took out a sound transmission jade talisman.
