#237 - Moon Fox Girl, Innate Sword Embryo

The iron cage didn't hold some rare and ferocious beast, but two delicate and touching young girls.

The two girls huddled together, their faces filled with terror, wearing pink dresses. Two pristine white fox ears peeked out from their hair, and tails swayed gently behind their hips. Their hands and feet were bound by chains, and they looked at the surrounding people as if they were about to be devoured, their eyes filled with fear and panic.

Their appearance stirred a feeling of pity in one's heart.

"Oh, oh, oh, so cute! My heart is melting!"

"These are Moon Fox girls! Tsk, tsk, the City Lord is indeed powerful. I heard that Moon Foxes have become very difficult to catch recently, as they all seem to be hiding. I wonder where the City Lord found these fresh goods!"

"They're mine! No one is allowed to fight me for them!"

"You're dreaming!"

...

As expected, the auction atmosphere became much livelier upon seeing these two beautiful fox girls. Many people rubbed their fists, all thinking about the pleasurable life after buying the fox girls.

Chi Tang pointed to the iron cage and said with a smile: "As you can see, these are two Golden Core stage Moon Fox girls. Their cultivation has been sealed, and they have been trained. Moreover, they are still virgins, so I don't need to say more about how precious they are. Without wasting everyone's time, the starting price for these two Moon Fox girls is one million spirit stones!"

As soon as Chi Tang's voice fell, the arena immediately boiled. People constantly raised the tokens in their hands, illuminating them with spiritual light.

"One million five hundred thousand spirit stones! I, this old one, am determined to have these two little enchantresses!"

"You think you can have them just because you said so? I bid two million!"

"Whoever dares to compete with me, I'll swallow them whole! I bid two million five hundred thousand spirit stones!"

The audience's enthusiasm caused the price to skyrocket, quickly reaching five million spirit stones.

Suddenly, a box on the top floor lit up.

"Six million spirit stones!"

Even Chi Tang on the high platform couldn't help but pause slightly at this price.

Six million had far exceeded their expected price. Someone was actually willing to pay such a high price for two Golden Core stage demon girls. Did they have too much money and nowhere to spend it?

The others were also stunned by this price.

Six million! That's a lot of wealth! Although Moon Fox girls are precious, they ultimately don't offer any benefits to one's cultivation. Buying them is merely for venting and playing. Spending so many spirit stones, are they out of their minds?

"It's that guy from the entrance!"

"That unfamiliar Void Refinement Realm Venerable?"

"It's him! No wonder he's spending so lavishly. It seems he's a fat sheep..."

"A fat sheep? Could it be that you have ideas about him?"

"Have ideas about him? Unless I'm tired of living. He's a Void Refinement Venerable!"

Some people in the arena recognized the box where the black-robed doppelganger was and whispered among themselves.

Looking up at the box that lit up, one of the Nascent Soul stage guards standing beside Chi Tang narrowed his eyes and gently opened and closed his mouth, transmitting a few words to Chi Tang.

Chi Tang's expression changed slightly, and she nodded. Then, she cast a spell and said with a charming smile: "This senior has offered a price of six million spirit stones. Is there anyone else who wants to bid higher?"

The arena was silent.

Only then did Chi Tang laugh loudly: "Congratulations to this senior. These two Moon Fox girls are yours. I'll send someone over to complete the transaction with you!"

Soon, the two Moon Fox girls were sent into the box. The black-robed doppelganger threw over a storage bag, and the two Moon Fox girls were pushed over, trembling all over.

After the auction house cultivators left, the black-robed doppelganger looked at the two Moon Fox girls and asked, "What are your names?"

This mysterious black-robed person gave the two of them immense pressure. Hearing the auction house people say that this mysterious person was also a Void Refinement Venerable, the two didn't even dare to think about resisting.

The black-robed doppelganger nodded slightly and pointed to the soft couch behind him: "You guys rest first. I'll take you away after the auction ends!"

Since things had come to this, the two girls could only submit, their eyes filled with grief and despair. They sat down on the soft couch together.

Seeing Yue Ji and Yue Yao in such a pitiful state, Xiao An felt a sense of empathy and pity. She sighed and turned her head away.

She herself was in a similar situation, so what qualifications did she have to sympathize with others?

The auction continued, and items were bought one after another. Occasionally, a few magical treasures and spiritual medicines would appear, but for the black-robed doppelganger, these things held no allure whatsoever.

Just as he was about to leave, Chi Tang took out another auction item.

It was a round stone, its surface smooth but covered with intricate patterns. A special aura constantly emanated from it.

As soon as this stone appeared, the arena immediately became lively.

A Nascent Soul stage demon cultivator said in a deep voice: "The fluctuations from this stone seem very unusual. There might be a good treasure inside!"

The demon cultivator next to him sneered: "A good treasure? How do you know? Then quickly bid on it. Maybe you'll break through and become a Void Refinement Venerable because of this stone!"

The former snorted coldly and carefully observed again with his divine sense, but his brows remained furrowed.

If it could be easily detected by divine sense, there would be no need to bring it out for auction.

Chi Tang pointed to the source stone on the high platform and said with a charming smile: "I believe everyone has felt the special spiritual charm contained in this stone! This is a good thing that the City Lord obtained from a dangerous place. Of course, we don't know what's hidden inside. This kind of thing can't be explored with divine sense. What you get depends entirely on your luck. If you're lucky, you might open a supreme treasure. If you're unlucky, you can only blame yourself. The starting price is ten million spirit stones!"

Ten million spirit stones!

Everyone couldn't help but gasp.

This price wasn't high, but it wasn't low either. As Chi Tang said, what kind of treasure could be opened depended entirely on one's luck. Because it was impossible to explore with divine sense, it was completely a gamble.

"Source stone..."

The black-robed doppelganger narrowed his eyes slightly.

Isn't this the same as gambling on stones in his previous life?

Before the stone is opened, no one knows what's hidden inside. Some people have heaven-defying luck and might be able to open a congenital treasure from it. If they're unlucky, they might spend a lot of spirit stones to buy just an ordinary stone.

The cultivators in the arena hesitated, not knowing whether to bid or not.

After all, ten million spirit stones wasn't a small amount.

Others couldn't explore it, but that didn't mean the black-robed doppelganger couldn't.

With the system in hand, he was meant to turn the impossible into the possible!

The black-robed doppelganger immediately activated the system's detection function to scan the source stone on the high platform.

In the next moment, he obtained the result, and his eyes lit up. He was overjoyed: "Congenital Sword Embryo! This source stone actually contains a Congenital Sword Embryo!"
