The last Superpower Elixir auction at Treasure Cave caused quite a stir.
Hong Fang and those from Sha Sect were still searching the city for Thirteenth Young Master. Ye Lingyue initially planned to avoid this turmoil before heading to Treasure Cave.
However, the matters of Hong ng Heaven ca too abruptly, leaving Ye Lingyue no other choice. She had intended to go with Feng Xun, only to find out upon reaching Feng Residence that he had gone to Hot Spring Palace and would not return for a few days.
She had to disguise herself and went to Treasure Cave alone.
After stating her purpose, Ye Lingyue took out that piece of stone.
However, both Third Brother He and Second Brother He, upon inspection, did not recognize the origin of the stone.
Just as Ye Lingyue was disappointed and about to leave, Second Brother He suddenly spoke up.
"Perhaps, our eldest brother might recognize this stone. Please wait a mont, Tenth Young Master."
Their eldest brother, Boss He, who is in charge of the Heavenly Level Auction, was soone Ye Lingyue had only heard of but never t.
Second Brother He took the stone, and after a mont, an elder who resembled Third Brother He and Second Brother He by a third hurriedly stepped out, followed closely by Second Brother He.
"This is Sky Bright Crystal." Boss He indeed recognized the stone, and by his tone, it was evidently no ordinary item.
"Big boss, dare I ask if your Treasure Cave has this kind of stone? I wish to purchase so." The Spiritual Power in Hong ng Heaven was becoming thinner by the day, worrying Ye Lingyue greatly.
Hearing that Ye Lingyue wanted to buy Sky Bright Crystal, Boss He couldn't help but smirk.
"Young lady, not to ntion that our Treasure Cave does not have this Sky Bright Crystal, even if we did, you couldn't afford it. Just this piece in your hand is worth a hundred thousand Gold."
What, this shabby stone, so expensive?
Then how many Sky Bright Crystals did Hong ng Fang Immortal use to refine Hong ng Heaven in the past?
In her heart, Ye Lingyue cursed the wasteful Hong ng Fang Immortal, unaware that to soone of his status, worldly wealth ant nothing.
"I urgently need this kind of stone right now, big boss, do you know where I can find it? I'm willing to pay any price to get it," Ye Lingyue saw that Boss He recognized the stone, assuming he must know its whereabouts.
Boss He pondered for a mont.
"Honestly speaking, I indeed know of a place that might have this kind of stone. But if Thirteen wishes to go, you must agree to one thing first."
"Big brother, you're not thinking of telling her that, are you?" Second Brother He and Third Brother He were shocked.
That was their Treasure Cave's big secret.
"The court's people have recently taken note of Treasure Cave. If all three of us brothers aren't here and sothing goes wrong, it'll be troubleso. I plan to have Second Brother stay and find another helper," Boss He spoke earnestly.
Previously, at the Earth-level Auction, although Boss He did not show up in person, Ye Lingyue's wit had left a deep impression on him.
Moreover, he had also seen the Flying Elixir and Invisibility Elixir she refined.
Whether it's alchemy skills or quality, both are comparable to an old alchemist of the Six or Seven Rank. As Boss He and Third Brother He were both Martial Artists, if they wanted to go to that "place," they needed an Alchemist.
"Before you make a decision, shouldn't you also consider my own opinion? What exactly is this about? I thought Treasure Cave was just a place for buying and selling items," Ye Lingyue was utterly confused.
"Thirteenth Young Master, this matter is a long story. In fact, the Treasure Cave was rely a front used by us three brothers to distract others. Our true identities are disciples of the Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect from the Central Plains Sect. I am the Third Sect Master, and my elder and second brothers are the Sect Leader and Second Sect Master respectively," Third Brother He was the most eloquent among the three brothers and the one most familiar with Ye Lingyue.
Central Plains Sect?
Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect?
"Are you people from the Central Plains Cult?" Ye Lingyue suddenly realized.
This so-called Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect was clearly a cult involved in stealthy and underhanded activities. Moreover, with titles like Sect Leader, Second Sect Leader, Third Sect Leader, Ye Lingyue suspected that the sect was composed only of these three brothers.
Ye Lingyue's guess wasn't far off the mark.
However, there was one thing she didn't know.
The Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect was not an ordinary cult; it was the direct lineage of a sect called the Treasure Seeking Sect from ancient tis.
This sect, thousands of years ago, was a large sect with myriad disciples.
The sect was most adept at searching for various treasures and secret realms, taking it upon themselves to find treasures across the world.
Due to their excessive plundering of treasures, the Treasure Seeking Sect was regarded as a thorn in the side by the so-called reputable sects and was subsequently decimated through joint efforts, gradually fading into decline.
Now, only the He Family's three brothers remained as disciples of the sect.
The three brothers had established the Treasure Cave to survive and to preserve the inheritance of the Treasure Seeking Sect. Using their strength and talents, they had managed to amass considerable wealth in places like Daxia and Beiqing.
"Thirteenth Young Master, this is the origin of our Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect. We are not like those evil cults of Central Plains. Aside from treasure hunting, which is our duty, we brothers haven't done any cruel and inhumane deeds," Third Brother He elaborated.
"But what about what you just ntioned? Just to be clear, I will never help you with any crooked deeds," Ye Lingyue stated, showing little interest in any evil or ancient sect; she was only interested in finding the location of the Sky Bright Stone.
"Thirteenth Young Master, you can rest assured on that matter. The place we are planning to go is called the Taiyi Secret Realm for an adventure," Boss He explained smoothly.
It was about three years ago when Second Brother He accidentally obtained a small fragnt of a map to the Taiyi Secret Realm.
The Taiyi Secret Realm was the site of the ruins of the Taiyi Sect of the Ancient Artifact Sect, coveted by both major countries and out-of-world sects for the treasures contained within.
Unfortunately, at that ti, Second Brother He only acquired one-sixth of the map fragnt.
That one-sixth of the map fragnt led to countless attempts on his life, and it was during that period that his legs were crippled.
Over these three years, various pursuits relating to the map of the Taiyi Secret Realm erged incessantly, and the He family's three brothers narrowly escaped multiple assassination attempts.
However, just a few days ago, soone sent a letter stating that the Taiyi Secret Realm was about to appear. The other five, who possess parts of the Taiyi Secret Realm map, were strong individuals and sects, proposing an invitation.
They stated that as long as the He family's three brothers brought their one-sixth of the map to complete the map of the Taiyi Secret Realm, they would allow the He brothers to enter the Taiyi Secret Realm together.
Whether they could find any treasures inside the secret realm would depend on their individual fortunes.
After much contemplation, Boss He decided to explore the Taiyi Secret Realm.
However, considering Second Brother He's immobility and the considerable distance to the Taiyi Secret Realm, he decided to leave Second Brother He behind and invite another helper.
It was precisely at this ti that Ye Lingyue ca seeking them.
