Chapter 178 Auction 10
"Master, that dragon is very important!" Sensing the familiar aura, Cheng Jiu muttered to himself, then shouted loudly after realizing what was happening.
A hush fell over the scene. Master? Immortal Lord Qingxu only has one disciple!
She was quite the big name in the entire Guiyuan Sect. The people in the private room looked at her in panic. Good heavens! Who did they bring here?
As soon as she uttered that word, several powerful auras rushed into the private room.
But all that could be seen was the snow-white sword light, the chaotic rain of blood, and the explosion of beautiful red flowers.
Upon hearing Cheng Jiu's shout, the auctioneer instinctively rushed towards the second cage. If only he could get that cage, he would succeed!
A golden lion's head suddenly rushed out from the side, knocking the other person flying.
With its golden paw pads and long claws, it hooked the cage containing the black-gold dragon and flew into the sky.
The ice-blue dragon coiled in the sky, catching the cage thrown to it: "Thanks! Gold coins!"
"You're welcome!" Jin Yuan replied in a deep voice.
"Master, what brings you here!" Cheng Jiu walked out of the private room, and, despite the strong smell of blood in the air, looked at Qingxu Immortal Lord with surprise.
"I'm worried about you."
When Qingxu Immortal Lord heard that Cheng Jiu and the other three had actually participated in the secret auction, he wondered how they could put themselves in such a dangerous situation. Didn't they know that a wise man doesn't stand under a crumbling wall? His anxiety and worry prompted him to take action ahead of time.
Hearing his master's worried and concerned tone, Cheng Jiu lowered his head slightly: "I'm sorry, Master! I made you worry."
Immortal Lord Qingxu stroked her head: "A wise man does not stand under a dangerous wall. You are my only disciple, so don't put yourself in danger next time!"
“Okay!” Cheng Jiu nodded obediently.
Xuanze tossed the black and gold dragon cage from his mouth into Cheng Jiu's arms: "It's rare that you can recognize this little guy. It seems that you two are quite destined for each other. I'll leave it to you to raise for now. I don't take care of children!"
Cheng Jiu stumbled from the impact of the black and gold cage in his arms, barely managing to regain his balance. He stared wide-eyed at the unconscious black and gold dragon inside. The little black dragon suddenly appeared out of nowhere, swatting the cage away from Cheng Jiu's arms with its tail. It nestled aggrievedly into Cheng Jiu's embrace, wishing it could cleanse Cheng Jiu of the aura of the other dragons on his body.
Dragons are known for their domineering nature, especially the little black dragon who has already acknowledged Cheng Jiu as its master, though it usually doesn't show it. But now that Cheng Jiu is actually holding that black-gold dragon, the little black dragon's scales are practically bursting with rage.
The master can only have one dragon, not even a brother of the same lineage.
"What a domineering little brat!" Xuanze sneered as he looked at the little black dragon's spoiled behavior.
"Awooo, awooo!" The little black dragon let out a hurried yet childishly threatening cry at the dragon elder.
Xuanze glanced at the junior, completely ignoring his threat, and instead fanned the flames from the side: "Who said Xiao Jiu can only have one dragon? That Black Gold Dragon is quite nice, maybe Xiao Jiu will be tempted?"
The little black dragon's cries became more urgent, and it kept twisting and wriggling in Cheng Jiu's arms.
Cheng Jiu hugged his little friend and looked helplessly at Xuan Ze: "Senior, don't stir up trouble! Don't worry, Mo Yu, you are my only dragon, and I swear I will never have any other thoughts."
The little black dragon then angrily coiled itself around Cheng Jiu: "You're bad."
A childish voice rang out, and Cheng Jiu looked at the little black dragon in surprise: "Mo Yu, you can talk!"
"meeting."
“This little guy is already at the Nascent Soul stage, but he hasn’t refined his horizontal bone yet. That’s why I’m going to take you to Dragon Abyss to choose another one.” Xuanze wasn’t surprised. Although it’s difficult for spirit beasts to speak, this isn’t limited to the dragon race. Dragons are favored by heaven and earth, so speaking isn’t as difficult as it is for other spirit beasts.
"Hmph!" Mo Yu flew out of Cheng Jiu's arms, and hearing the other party's disdain, lashed out at him with a black dragon tail.
"Little guy, you're just relying on the fact that your master is my master's apprentice!" Xuanze chuckled, unfazed by the little thing that was provoking him. He grabbed the little black dragon's body with his dragon claws and wrapped it around his claws like a rope.
The little black dragon couldn't break free at all and could only hang pitifully on its claws.
Although it looked pitiful, Cheng Jiu did not receive any distress signal from the little black dragon; it was clear that the big dragon was just teasing the little dragon.
Watching Xuanze childishly bicker with the little black dragon who had just learned to talk, Cheng Jiu couldn't help but roll his eyes. He didn't even involve the child. Were these two even seven years old combined?
The two were having a great time. On the other side, the black dragon, awakened by the fall of its cage, lay in the cage lying on the ground, looking at the humans and its kin in front of it.
Tears slowly welled up in the black dragon's eyes, and a sharp yet childish cry suddenly rang out, interrupting the playful atmosphere.
Xuanze looked at the little dragon crying uncontrollably below with disdain, and threw the black jade, which was wrapped like a rope in his hand, directly next to the cage: "Your brother, go and comfort him!"
Mo Yu lay dazed on the cage. The old man had no martial ethics. The crying below gradually subsided. Mo Yu came to her senses and stared at the black gold dragon, who had stopped crying.
The black-gold dragon looked at the familiar dragon before it, and after a long while, it finally spoke: "Awooo?" (Are you my brother?)
The two share the same lineage. Mo Yu could sense that he was her half-brother, so how could the Black Gold Dragon not sense it?
Mo Yu didn't reply, but bared its teeth at Xuan Ze resentfully, flew to Cheng Jiu's side, and pointed at the cage.
Immortal Lord Qingxu ignored the lawsuit there and saw that Cheng Jiu was about to open the cage holding the Black Gold Dragon.
He searched the auctioneer and found a key, which he then handed to Cheng Jiu.
The cage was opened, and the black-gold dragon's eyes lit up when it saw the fragrant and comforting human in front of it.
The little guy was smaller than the little black dragon. Its body was soft and its scales hadn't hardened yet. It was a small, cool ball of a creature that lay motionless on Cheng Jiu's head.
The little black dragon was furious when it saw the black gold dragon that had come out and started stealing its home.
It kept hissing and threatening the black dragon, telling it to get off Cheng Jiu's head, who was its master. Did this dragon have no sense of morality?
Unfortunately, the little guy perched on the head had been spoiled by the dragons in Dragon Abyss since it was a child, so it was not afraid of the little black dragon, which was in the Nascent Soul stage. It howled at the little black dragon with its little voice.
"No way, you thieving dragon, Xiao Jiu is mine!" The little black dragon said a long string of angry words.
The black dragon ignored the little black dragon's jumping and stomping, instead rubbing its soft face against Cheng Jiu's face, its voice obedient. It was even more obedient than the little black dragon.
The little black dragon gritted its teeth and charged at the opponent, wanting to show this little guy how powerful it was, and that it really thought it was a pushover.
As the little black dragon swept its tail over, a thin layer of dark protective shield appeared on the black gold dragon's body. Only the ear-piercing sound of metal scraping could be heard. Although it was just a casual strike, it could not break through the opponent's defense at all.
The black dragon looked at the little black dragon with a mocking gaze. The next second, it was lifted down by a fair white hand. Still a little dazed, it called out to Cheng Jiu in a fawning manner.
Cheng Jiu looked at it apologetically: "Sorry, I have a dragon in my house now."
The next second it fell into a scorching embrace, and the black-gold dragon bounced away from the fire elemental energy.
Looking at the boy with disdain, then at Cheng Jiu with a pitiful expression, and seeing that the other party was truly unmoved, she began to find a favorite among the remaining people and put her in her arms, landing on Gong Yu's head. This human was icy cold, and the dragon felt very comfortable.
Xuanze landed on the ground and looked at the black-gold dragon with a strange expression. He said, "This child, I remember that Molong had an amazing fire control technique. Your dragon inherited it too. This black-gold dragon seems to have inherited some of our ice dragon bloodline. It is very averse to fire spirit energy."
At this point, Xuanze fell silent. Could it be that Molong had gone out to philander again?
Where did this little guy come from? His bloodline is so pure!
Xuanze let his imagination run wild, looking at the black-gold dragon that was perched on Gong Yu's head again. Comparing the two with the lively little black dragon, he fell into deep thought. Was the black-gold dragon a bit weak? After all, their little black dragon wasn't much older than the other one.
The little black dragon didn't care who the other party was hiding on. The other party wisely left Cheng Jiu's body, so the little black dragon stopped targeting the other party and returned to its spirit beast pouch.
Gong Yu didn't have her brother's good temper: "I remember that Mo Yu could shrink his body before, so shrink yourself and wrap your arms around my wrist!"
"Roar!" The black dragon refused.
"Then I'll just leave you here!" Gong Yu picked up the other person, intending to throw them away, but then looked at the long thing he was holding: "You look like a little lizard."
Black Gold Dragon: "..."
Black Gold Dragon stared wide-eyed at the person laughing heartily.
"So ugly! Ouch, that hurts!"
"You blind fool! It's a dragon, and a dragon with the bloodline of a golden dragon!" Hearing the other party continue to provoke and mock, the little black dragon retaliated and showed them what it was made of.
Gong Yu cried out in pain and threw the other person away.
"Watch out!" Seeing that the other was about to crash into the ground, Miyagi, who was standing next to him, disregarded his heartache for his younger brother and reached out to catch him. After all, the other was still a cub and his strength was average. He didn't want to think about what would happen if the other crashed into the ground like that.
The moment it approached the ground, the black-gold dragon vanished into thin air, only to reappear nestled on Gong Yu's head.
"It actually comprehended the spatial attribute, this kid is amazing." Xuanze looked at the black gold dragon in amazement. Such a little thing had actually comprehended its own attribute. It seems that its talent is quite extraordinary.
Gong Yu and Hei Jinlong disliked each other after that incident and started fighting again. Gong Cheng originally wanted to take over the job of taking care of Hei Jinlong, but unfortunately, the other party didn't like him. After looking around, he only kept an eye on Gong Yu, except for Cheng Jiu.
The journey was chaotic, but a compromise was finally reached when both sides were at their wits' end.
Gong Yu successfully obtained a black bracelet.
This time, the harvest was plentiful. Upon returning to Canglan Peak, Nan Xingze delivered the spoils of the battle.
Cheng Jiu's goal this time was the Heavenly Thunder Stone, and the other party's move this time was quite impressive.
The Thunderstone that was delivered was as big as a palm, but Cheng Jiu didn't need that many. After refining the alchemy furnace, he had half of it left and asked someone to send it to Wen Sishu.
Before long, they received a return gift from the other party, along with the previous payment for the pills.
Even before knowing whether the elixir would be effective, Wen Sishu's brother was truly generous. Putting aside the other treasures, the most precious one was a spirit stone vein in the mortal realm.
When Cheng Jiu saw this return gift, he almost thought he had given the wrong gift. This was a spirit stone vein, a place that could continuously lay golden eggs.
Is this a grand return gift from the mortal realm?
Cheng Jiu and Wen Sishu confirmed several times before finally confirming that from now on, she would also be a wealthy woman with an entire vein of spirit stones.
Thinking about it this way, she felt a little guilty. She had originally been thinking of giving up, but decided that after finishing this batch, if the other party still couldn't get what they wanted, she would stop caring and let them accept their fate.
But with this spirit stone vein coming out, her previous ideas were no longer impressive. Oh well, to do justice to this spirit stone vein, she'll make sure to provide good after-sales service.
Lying on the bed looking at the land deed, he was so happy he rolled around on the floor. The mortal realm had spirit stone veins, which the entire cultivation world knew, but they were also strictly controlled. Most of the spirit stone veins in the cultivation world were controlled by the five major sects, and very few could fall into the hands of an individual.
The reason why Immortal Lord Qingyang is so rich is because he owns several veins of spirit stones of high quality.
This made some poor sword cultivators green with envy.
And now she also has a vein of spirit stones.
Holding this golden treasure, Cheng Jiu found it hard to fall asleep.
No, I really can't sleep!
After rolling around twice, Cheng Jiu realized that she couldn't sleep like this. She got out of bed, looked at the corner of the room, picked up the hoe, and went outside.
So the little cloud beast and the little black dragon, who were resting in the forest, saw their master, who was unusually awake, wielding a hoe and cultivating field after field without using any spiritual power.
The activity of clearing land was so immense that they couldn't sleep.
One of them could control the clouds and rain, while the other helped Cheng Jiu cultivate the land.
One person and two beasts worked diligently all night.
The distant sky begins to lighten, and the gentle morning light awakens the earth. Tender leaves are lush and green, and a drop of morning dew slides down a leaf and into the soil.
The mist in the air slowly dissipated, leaving only a refreshing earthy smell.
After a busy night, Cheng Jiu wiped away her sweat and looked at the large, moist fields, feeling a surge of pride. Haha, she truly lived up to her reputation!
The little cloud beast followed behind her, limp and unsteady, as the drizzling rain brought life to the newly cultivated land.
It was obvious that the other party's mind was no longer on this matter. Cheng Jiu carried the hoe back to the yard ahead.
The little cloud beast followed Cheng Jiu in the rain, with Cheng Jiu walking in front and the rain chasing behind. Seeing a group of people at the courtyard gate, Cheng Jiu stopped and called to the little cloud beast: "Yunbao, it's okay now. Everything's alright here. Go play."
The little cloud beast, which had been limp, perked up and, with Cheng Jiu's permission, flew away happily.
"Senior Brother Qin Che, what brings you here?"
Cheng Jiu carried a hoe into the courtyard, and the people gathered there parted to let him in.
"Junior Sister, why are you back from outside?"
Qin Che turned around in surprise and looked Cheng Jiu up and down. Although the clothes had self-cleaning ability, the few drops of mud splattered on the shoes made it clear that the other party had obviously been outside for quite some time.
"I couldn't sleep at night, so I went to cultivate some medicinal herb fields." Cheng Jiu put the hoe in the corner.
