Spirit Vessel Chapter 965

Chapter 965: Bewildering Orchid

Tonight was the auction for the firebird bone. Little Demoness and Mao Guwui have yet to return. It seemed that their search for the Evil Woman was a failure.

Feiyun wasn’t worried about their safety. The turtle was crafty enough to deal with any situation.

The last several days included heavy advertis.e.m.e.nts for the bone. This caused quite a stir in all twelve southwest territories. Numerous famous alchemists came to Celestial as a result.

Two days ago there was an auction for ten pieces of gilded water G.o.d jades. The total sum was 3,680 wormhole stones.

Feiyun had 1,582 stones prior. Thus, the new amount became 5,262 - an insane sum comparable to that of a spirit mine.

As for this bone, the starting price was thirty billion regular spirit stones. The ancient clans couldn’t afford this; only the rich alchemists had a shot.

Of course, even a few powers exceeding the medial clans joined the fun after hearing about the legendary bone.

Feiyun had no interest in the auction itself and waited in a palace at the beast soul market. Only esteemed guests had access to this place.

It was quiet and protected by invisible formations. To the middle was an incense burner releasing incredible spirit energy.

He was busy exchanging his beast souls since he would need to leave for Aquamoon afterward. He needed to become stronger.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!” He grabbed a beast soul and forced it into his body. The new one devoured the weaker soul and took its spot.

He repeated this process twenty times before looking towards the door after hearing soft footsteps.

A young n.o.ble wearing a golden embroidered robe stood outside. He waved his fan and smiled: “Young n.o.ble Feng, may I come in?”

Feiyun put away his sealed souls and waved his hand to open the door. He also smiled back: “This place belongs to your clan, of course you can enter.”

Liu Suzi entered and said: “No wonder why your cultivation is so high, always cultivating even while waiting for the auction to end. How admirable.”

Feiyun stood up and felt something amiss. He hid it and said: “It’s because my father isn’t a territory lord, I have to work harder than others.”

Liu Suzi chuckled and came behind him, suddenly wanting to hug him.

Feiyun predicted this and caught her wrists. His eyes turned cold as he spoke: “You’re not Liu Suzi, who are you?”

She had a needle ten times thinner than a strand of hair between her fingers. Even cultivators would have a hard time detecting them.

It was aimed at his dantian and nearly pierced it.

“How do you know I’m not her?” Liu Suzi was surprised.

Feiyun took the needle and threw her on the ground. He took a look at it while speaking: “Three things. First, Liu Suzi doesn’t call me Young n.o.ble Feng. When she feels like being polite, she would call me Brother Feng. Otherwise, all I get is half-demon.”

“Second, she looks down on half-demons. Though she had a better opinion of me after becoming a War Monarch, she still kept a three-foot distance when we walked together. That’s why she couldn’t suddenly hug me out of nowhere unless someone fed her aphrodisiac.”

“Third, the expressions in your eyes are completely different. She has an inscrutable glimpse, always calculating. Though you tried your best to duplicate it, you lack the same intelligence. Such a glance couldn’t be faked.”

“Haha, I’m not as intelligent as her? If the ancestors in the clan didn’t favor her, I could have killed her more than ten times.” Liu Suzi’s wrists suddenly became slippery like a fish so she got out of his grip. She moved backward towards a wall.

“I don’t care which of you is smarter. There must be a reason for you wanting to kill me though, First Princess.” He shook his head, knowing that she was Liu Suhong.

She still didn’t change her appearance back while talking to him: “Do you believe me if I tell you that I’m doing this to avenge Eighth?”

Feiyun shook his head: “I would think about sparing you if you are actually that loyal and loving. However, there are very few in this world and you’re not one of them.”

“Do I look so heartless?” She smiled.

He frowned, thinking that she was being too confident: “I didn’t notice anything peculiar as you were walking in. What did you do to trick my awareness?”

“You said it yourself, this place belongs to my clan, I’ve done something prior.” She waved her paper fan and laughed.

s.h.i.+t! He glared at the smoke coming out of the incense burner and unleashed a palm strike.

The cauldron broke down and he saw jade petals scattering down. They were still burning and exuding a particular scent.

“This is a bewildering orchid, very rare and extremely poisonous. Even Heaven’s Emergence cultivators would weaken after smelling it. When combined with regular incense, it’ll seal the sixth sense and cultivate. I’m actually surprised that you’re still awake.”

Feiyun hurriedly channeled his Buddhist energy and sure enough, something was hindering his blood flow and meridians.

He tried to expel it but failed. It became more violent and rushed towards his dantian. He resorted to using his sinflame to refine it. Alas, it suddenly changed direction and headed for his brain.

He gathered all of his Buddhist energy to protect his mind from this invasive force.

Liu Suzi saw that he was becoming pale and said: “Don’t use your powerful techniques to refine it or you’ll die even faster. The flowers are from Yin Yang Mountain. There are only a dozen or so each year, it’s your honor to experience it.”

He didn’t answer and continued to halt the poison while using his Grand Change Art to come up with a solution.

Liu Suzi came over and touched his chin while laughing: “Do you still think I’m not as smart as Liu Suzi?”

Sweat beads could be seen on his forehead. His eyes s.h.i.+ned with an evil affinity; he seemed to be losing control: “What do you want?”

“I want your phoenix bloodline.” Liu Suzi’s eyes turned cold.

“Hahaha, you want phoenix blood from a half-demon? I don’t even know if I have a phoenix bloodline.” Feiyun laughed.

Though he didn’t know which demon race he was actually from, he was certain that he didn’t have a phoenix bloodline. People misunderstood due to his phoenix domain and other techniques.

“Say what you want, I will take your bloodline and dao foundation. It’ll bring my talent to the peak of the human race.” Liu Suzi took out a red dagger and cut off his robe, fully stripping him.
