Peerless Empress: One Woman, One Sword, Slaying Through Myriad Realms

"Seventy thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"

After raising the price, Fairy of the Mortal World sneered, "Blackwater King, you think you can compete with me? You're tired of living..."

"Eighty thousand!" The Blackwater King was not intimidated by her and continued.

Ye Wuxi asked curiously, "What is this profound crystal?"

Yan Jingyao laughed and said, "Don't ask. This thing is far from being us. It's something only kings can use. Fairy Hongchen hasn't become a king yet, but this thing will be of great help to her. Although that Blackwater King is a rogue cultivator, he is a Martial King. He won't be intimidated by the name of the Hehuan Sect!"

"Nine thousand!" The Fairy of the Mortal World glared at him, her face showing displeasure.

"One hundred thousand!" Blackwater King sneered. "You think you can scare me? As for that white girl, I have the Thousand-Leaf Ice Lotus. Does my priority auction right still count?"

Ye Wuxi was overjoyed; the Thousand-Petal Ice Lotus had finally appeared, but this profound crystal seemed quite precious…

Bai Ling'er smiled and said, "Our Purple Gold Auction Hall always keeps its word. If the Blackwater King really has the Thousand-Leaf Ice Lotus, then this Profound Essence Crystal is yours. However, you will still need to pay 100,000 mid-grade spirit stones..."

Blackwater King replied without hesitation, "No problem..."

After saying that, he gave the Fairy of the Mortal World a provocative look. The Fairy of the Mortal World flicked her sleeve, sneered, and then left with Jiang Xiaoyu.

The auction has now come to an end, and Ye Wuxi has made some gains.

Yan Jingyao smiled and said, "Wuxi, I won't be back to the sect for a while. I'll hand over the Wind and Fire Array to you then. Just wait patiently in the sect..."

"Thank you so much, Senior Sister Yan!"

After Yan Jingyao left, Ye Wuxi, led by a maid, entered the small courtyard behind the auction hall.

Bai Nan and Bai Ling'er were waiting for her. Bai Ling'er looked her up and down and smiled, "Sister Wuxi, as Master Chi Huo's disciple, I didn't expect your martial arts skills to be so extraordinary..."

Bai Nan nodded in agreement. He had only helped this person find medicine because of Master Chi Huo, since he had investigated this person before and found that he was not special at all and his cultivation was pitifully weak.

Unexpectedly, he achieved a hundred consecutive victories in the martial arts arena, defeating the prodigies of two fifth-grade sects. It seems he misjudged them...

“Master Chi Huo’s disciples are all outstanding. Young friend Huo Yun’s ranking on the Earth Dragon Ranking is not low. Now he has produced another genius disciple…” Bai Nan said with a smile.

"May I ask, senior, what is this Earth Dragon Ranking?" Ye Wuxi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Bai Ling'er explained with a smile, "The Earth Dragon Ranking encompasses all the geniuses of the Earth Martial Realm in the entire Xuan Domain. Only young people under the age of twenty-five can be included on the list, and only five hundred people are selected!"

Ye Wuxi clicked her tongue in amazement. There were so many people in the entire Xuan Domain. The value of this list was unimaginable. Senior Brother Huoyun was truly impressive.

Bai Nan chuckled again, "However, young friend Ye is still young. Once his cultivation level is higher, entering the Xuan Ranking will not be a problem! The Xuan Ranking records the Xuanwu Realm prodigies of the entire Xuan Domain, and only five hundred people are selected!"

Ye Wuxi touched his nose. There were quite a few names on this list. He wondered how such a vast place as Xuanyu could keep track of them.

"Senior, you flatter me. Those are still far from my reach. I must thank you all for the Thousand-Leaf Ice Lotus. I will definitely go back and tell my master!"

Ye Wuxi smiled and bowed. The profound crystal was quite valuable, but Blackwater King had exchanged it for 100,000 spirit stones plus some medicinal herbs. This deal was a loss for the auction hall, so naturally, the favor could only be repaid by Old Man Crimson Fire.

A smile appeared in Bai Nan's eyes. He was neither arrogant nor impatient, and had a good temperament. "Ling'er, give it to Young Friend Ye. Just pay the market price of 20,000 yuan as we agreed before!"

"Thank you, senior! Thank you, Miss Bai! I'll take my leave now..."

Having paid the spirit stones and accepted the Thousand-Leaf Ice Lotus, Ye Wuxi finally felt relieved. Now, all he had to do was wait for the old man Crimson Flame to return, and the matter of refining the strange flame could be put on the agenda.

Ye Wuxi, Liu Yu'er, and Duan Hong did not linger. They left the city, boarded their newly purchased griffin, and headed towards the Heavenly Sword Sect.

On the back of the golden-white griffin, the three clinked glasses, chatting and drinking the Drunken Immortal Wine they had bought from the Cloud Inn.

Liu Yu'er suddenly asked, "Wu Xi, what exactly is your grudge against the royal family of Tianfeng Kingdom...?"

Ye Wuxi shrugged and gave a brief explanation of the matter.

"In short, I think Lin Dongxu was behind that incident, but our Ye family is not as powerful as the royal family, so I can't act rashly. I can only let Lin Dongxu think that I am unaware of the situation and play along with them until I am stronger. They don't want to touch the Ye family right now, so it would be disadvantageous for them to break off relations directly!"

"How despicable! I never imagined you, Wuxi, had been through so much. If you need any help, you must tell me! I'll do everything I can to persuade my father to help you!"

Duan Hong also said with a deep gaze, "It's not easy for us to become friends, Wuxi. Tianfeng Kingdom and Moyun Kingdom are not far apart. If you want to deal with the Lin family, I think I can help you..."

Ye Wuxi smiled gently, "Then thank you very much, I won't stand on ceremony with you two..."

"Hehehehe, you guys are having a good time, hand over all your stuff!"

Four figures suddenly appeared in the air ahead. Sensing the power of the newcomers, the griffin abruptly stopped in mid-air.

Ye Wuxi's eyes narrowed. The four people in front of him were actually four people at the first level of the Earth Martial Realm.

"We are disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect! How dare you rob us? You're asking for trouble!" Liu Yu'er shouted angrily, trying to intimidate the group with the sect's authority.

"Hahahaha, the Heavenly Sword Sect can't intimidate us, the Four Heroes of the Heavenly Demons. We killed you in this godforsaken place, and who knew it was us? You obtained quite a few spirit stones in the martial arts arena, so hand them over quickly, and I might spare your corpses..."

They had noticed these people long ago, but there were too many people and too many eyes in the city, so they couldn't make a move against the sect disciples. That's why they followed them to this desolate wilderness. If they could obtain the spirit stones and treasures on these people, they could simply hide their identities and wait until their cultivation level was higher before coming out again.

Ye Wuxi's expression turned cold. "It's quite remarkable that you were able to follow me here so quietly."

Despite her keen senses, she failed to detect the presence of these individuals.

"Hahahaha, you must be Ye Wuxi, right? Stop talking nonsense and hand it all over..."

The four heroes have always been involved in murder and robbery, so they are naturally skilled at concealing their presence. How could these few kids possibly detect them?

"We still have teleportation talismans, why don't we just escape?" Liu Yu'er said with a grim expression.

"The distance is too short. At the speed of a Ground Martial Realm cultivator, we can catch up very quickly."

Ye Wuxi's mind raced. These were genuine Earth Martial Realm cultivators; she probably couldn't handle four of them at the same time with her two Five Elements True Essences...
