Chapter 1023 -499: Auction House, Mysterious Jade Pendant
“Forget it, I won’t stay here anymore today.”
“I should head back as well…”
Thinking this, Luo Yao disappeared on the spot.
After returning to Qingshi City, Luo Yao went straight back to his residence.
At this moment, his expression remained calm as ever.
Although the battle with the mysterious stranger had caused some consumption of his Qi-Blood Force, the slight depletion was still within an acceptable range.
Once he was back in his room, he sat down cross-legged and began breath regulation.
His Qi-Blood Force circulated within him, continuously repairing his body.
An hour later, he let out a long breath.
Although the battle with the mysterious stranger had been perilous, he had ultimately succeeded in killing his opponent.
Thinking thus, he couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile.
He was a very clear-headed person, aware of what he needed.
And to him, the Crimson Fruit indeed had a great use.
If he used the Crimson Fruit to assist his Cultivation, his strength would surely rise rapidly.
With this in mind, he once again closed his eyes and resumed his Cultivation.
Time passed by swiftly, and another hour had elapsed.
Saying so, he arrived at the entrance of the City Lord’s Mansion.
“Stop.” The guard at the door stopped Luo Yao. “This is the City Lord’s Mansion; loiterers are not allowed inside.”
“My name is Luo Yao, I have been invited here by the City Lord,” Luo Yao said indifferently.
“So it’s Young Master Luo.” After hearing Luo Yao’s words, the guard instantly became respectful, “Please wait a moment, Young Master; I will go and notify the City Lord.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he ran into the City Lord’s Mansion.
He came back quickly.
“The City Lord invites you in,” said the guard.
Luo Yao nodded and walked in.
By now, the City Lord had been waiting for quite some time.
Upon seeing Luo Yao, he immediately greeted him.
“Young Master Luo, I’m sorry to have kept you waiting,” the City Lord said with a bow, “as soon as I heard from my servants that you had arrived, I hurried over.”
“The City Lord is too courteous,” replied Luo Yao with a bow. “I came to inquire about the Tianxing Auction.”
“Please speak, Young Master Luo,” the City Lord said, nodding before leading Luo Yao into the City Lord’s Mansion.
Inside the City Lord’s Mansion, the decor was extremely lavish, resembling a miniature palace.
While they spoke, the two had already reached the City Lord’s private residence.
“Young Master Luo, please take a seat,” the City Lord said as he gestured for Luo Yao to sit down and then directly asked, “May I know what you wish to inquire about?”
“I’d like to inquire about the Tianxing Auction,” Luo Yao said with a bow. “I want to know, where do the items in the Tianxing Auction come from?”
“I am not too clear on that,” the City Lord replied, shaking his head before adding, “The Tianxing Auction is a very mysterious force, their goods are collected from various places.”
“I see…” Luo Yao said thoughtfully.
“It is indeed mysterious,” agreed the City Lord, nodding. “For many years now, no one knows their true origins.”
With that, the two of them engaged in casual conversation.
After half an hour, Luo Yao also stood up to take his leave.
Since he had already obtained the information he wanted from the City Lord, there was no need for him to stay any longer.
Returning to his own residence, Luo Yao shut himself away and began his Cultivation.
The Crimson Fruit was too important to him; he had to enhance his strength as much as possible before the auction began.
With that thought, he took out the Crimson Fruit.
The Crimson Fruit was a very precious Spirit Fruit, containing an immense amount of Qi-Blood Force.
Using it to assist in Cultivation would surely allow a cultivator to increase their strength rapidly.
Thinking thus, Luo Yao immediately consumed the Crimson Fruit.
In an instant, an incredibly vast Qi-Blood Force exploded within him.
The power of the Qi-Blood Force surprised even Luo Yao.
He had not expected the Qi-Blood Force in the Crimson Fruit to be so immense.
With this in mind, he started circulating his Cultivation Technique immediately to absorb the medicinal effects of the fruit.
As time passed, the Qi-Blood Force within Luo Yao grew more and more substantial.
His aura continually climbed, soon reaching a new height.
Although he still had not reached the Organ Refinement Perfection Realm,
He was nevertheless one step closer to the Organ Refinement Perfection.
Feeling this, he couldn’t help but be pleased.
The efficacy of the Crimson Fruit was indeed strong, just a short period of absorption had significantly increased his Cultivation.
Afterward, he continued with his Cultivation.
Only, the medicinal power of the Crimson Fruit was almost fully absorbed,
Which led to…
No further growth in his Cultivation.
However, being able to stabilize his current Cultivation level was also a satisfactory result.
…
A month later, the Tianxing Auction was about to be held.
That day, Luo Yao went directly to the City Lord’s Mansion, ready to head to the Tianxing Auction with the City Lord.
“Young Master Luo, you’ve arrived,” the City Lord greeted upon seeing Luo Yao, “I’m prepared and can leave at any time.”
“Let’s go, then,” Luo Yao said with a nod.
Then, the two left the City Lord’s Mansion and hurried towards the venue of the Tianxing Auction.
