Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 238: Chapter 237: Clues to the Fire Spirit Pearl

Chu Linfeng sensed the overwhelming killing intent from Meng Ji and was startled, but he quickly calmed down and said, ”Meng Ji, why are you acting so fiercely, are you really going to kill me?”

Indeed, Meng Ji had the urge to kill the guy in front of her who dared to deceive her, but for some reason, she felt a sense of reluctance in her heart. Such a situation had never occurred, which made her a bit flustered.

”Do you really think I wouldn’t dare to kill you? No one has ever dared to fool me, you’re the first. Tell me, how do you want to die?” Meng Ji’s tone was still full of hostility.

”Die? Why should I die? Sit down and let’s talk about why you’re so eager to know my secret,” Chu Linfeng said with a smile, not taking Meng Ji’s killing intent to heart at all.

Meng Ji had a feeling of being at a loss for the first time with someone. ”Chu Linfeng, can you tell me the truth? Who exactly are you? How do you know so many things you simply shouldn’t know?”

Chu Linfeng knew that if he didn’t reveal some truth, it would be hard to get rid of her. After pondering for a moment, he said, ”I am who I am, just a waste from an ordinary family in Liuyun City. If you don’t believe me, you can send someone to inquire.

Knowing your identity is simple. Didn’t you notice that I am a Pure Yang Body? Naturally, I can see your constitution and figure out your identity from it.

Rest assured, I promised you that if there is any news, I would inform you at the first opportunity. You also know what our constitutions mean, so I know you won’t kill me.”

”You’re very confident. Indeed, I won’t kill you, but it’s impossible for us to be together. You’re from the Human Race, and I’m from the Demon Race; we’re destined not to be together. The only way is to make you a member of the Demon Race,” Meng Ji said with a smile.

”Alright, stop joking. Your Enchanting Fragrance is really formidable; I almost fell for it. If it weren’t for my Heart Spirit being wounded, you would have definitely succeeded,” Chu Linfeng said.

”Heart Spirit wounded? Is that why you came to my Pingwu Auction House?” Meng Ji asked in astonishment.

”That’s right, I came to see if there is any kind of Spirit Medicine that can heal me. By the way, I wonder if your Pingwu Auction House has any Spiritual Pearls or similar treasures,” Chu Linfeng suddenly thought of.

The Pingwu Auction House has been in Xuanwu City for so long, it should have some good stuff. Perhaps it has auctioned off some rare treasures that could provide clues.

”We don’t have Spiritual Pearls here, but in the last auction, a Fire Spirit Pearl was auctioned off. I remember it was sold for two million Star Stones,” Meng Ji said.

Upon hearing this, Chu Linfeng’s heart tightened. There was indeed a lead, so he immediately asked, ”Who bought the Fire Spirit Pearl?”

”I’m sorry, we must keep the buyer’s confidentiality; I can’t tell you that,” Meng Ji flatly refused.

”You only keep the auction sponsors confidential, not the buyers! I know I was wrong before, I apologize to you. Please tell me who bought the Fire Dragon Pearl; it’s very important to me,” Chu Linfeng said anxiously.

Meng Ji didn’t understand why Chu Linfeng was so anxious about the Spiritual Pearl, but she couldn’t resist his expectant gaze and finally said, ”It was bought by the Second Prince of the Imperial City, Yuwen Qingkong. If you want it, go ask him for it! I heard he’s here this time.”

”Yuwen Qingkong? I see, thank you, Meng Ji!” Chu Linfeng said gratefully. Since the Fire Spirit Pearl was with him, he would have to find a way to obtain it from the Second Prince. If he could succeed in becoming an Imperial City Guard, there should still be a chance.

”Today is a Pingwu auction, would you like to take a look? Perhaps there are things you need. Remember what you said. I hope we end up as friends rather than enemies.” With that, Meng Ji left the room.

Only then did Chu Linfeng’s heart relax; if Meng Ji had truly intended to kill him earlier, with her strength, death would have been certain.

After leaving the room, Chu Linfeng found Wei Qun, intending to go to the auction with him, but he didn’t know where the Pingwu auction was held. The auction house was large, and Chu Linfeng hadn’t been able to find the exact location, so he had to let the reception girl lead the way.

”Sir, our Pingwu auction isn’t held in the auction house. Let me take you there. You should have a VIP card, right? You can enter directly with it,” the girl said with a smile.

When Wei Qun heard that Chu Linfeng actually had a VIP card, he was immediately surprised, ”Xiaotian, where did you get a VIP card from, you didn’t steal it, did you?”

”How did you know? Keep your voice down; if others find out, you know the consequences,” Chu Linfeng said with a laugh.

Wei Qun felt like crying; this guy was nothing but trouble. There was never a calm moment with him around.

The auction site wasn’t far; it was actually between Pingwu and Wenqin, but it was usually closed, so Chu Linfeng hadn’t noticed, even though Wei Qun knew this, he hadn’t asked him.

They soon arrived, and the young girl said, ”Sir, what is your card number?”

”Number three!” Chu Linfeng replied.

”Please follow me!” Then Chu Linfeng and Wei Qun were led to a room marked with the number three.

”Sir, the auction will start soon. If you see an item you like, just press the button on the table. On the side, there are four bidding buttons. If you need to raise the price, just press the corresponding number,” the young girl explained carefully to Chu Linfeng.

It was only then that Chu Linfeng noticed the setup of the room. There was a table made of some unknown material with five buttons on it, one of which was red, clearly for making purchases.

The other four buttons were white, each labeled with a price: one hundred, one thousand, ten thousand, and up to one hundred thousand, which was easy to understand.

Chu Linfeng smiled and said, ”Are you busy today?”

”Is there something you need me to do, sir?” the girl asked.

”I’d like you to stay and assist me with the bidding; since it’s your auction, you should be familiar with the properties and costs of the items.” Chu Linfeng said.

”I’m very sorry, sir, but I’m the auctioneer for this event. If you need someone for specific guidance, I can arrange for someone to assist you,” the girl politely declined.

”Never mind, go on with your work!” Chu Linfeng said, leaving Wei Qun puzzled. Since when did this guy get so remarkable that even the Top Auctioneer of Pingwu Auction House was so polite to him?

The room was not large but was very exquisite and elegant. There were two frames on the walls with transparent Crystal Stones inside, from which they could see the outside situation, presumably for observing the auctioned items.

Although it was the first time Chu Linfeng saw this Crystal Stone, he understood it was the kind from which one could see out but not in, otherwise it wouldn’t serve the purpose of confidentiality.

There were some pastries and fruits on the table, and Chu Linfeng took a pastry and put it in his mouth, saying to Wei Qun, ”If you see something you like, bid on it, no need to be polite with me.”

Wei Qun felt utterly helpless, thinking even if he wanted to, he wouldn’t dare. Because if he bid arbitrarily and couldn’t provide enough Star Stones, the consequences would be severe. If the amount was large, it could lead to death.

This Niu Tian dared to use a stolen VIP card to boast and deceive here; who knew what would happen next?

”Don’t be shy, it’s just Star Stones, I have plenty,” Chu Linfeng said with a smile.

Wei Qun reluctantly nodded, and soon it got lively outside. Chu Linfeng knew that people were almost finished entering the auction floor; next was the beginning of the auction...
