Su Yi nodded as Xi Wuqing finished inspecting the wooden box. At the very least, it could be inferred that the box was indeed an ancient artifact and the sealing restrictions were genuine.
"Grandpa Qin, if I don't want this wooden box anymore, can I give it back?"
Su Yi's eyes sparkled with a smile as he kindly asked Qin San, "If I decide not to keep this wooden box, would I still have to carry such a heavy debt? After all, this box serves no purpose to whatsoever. In fact, I can't even open it at this mont. It's simply no different from a useless piece of wood."
"You're kidding, sir. There is a high possibility that there are valuable treasures inside, or even the lifelong inheritance of a powerful individual from the Fuyao Sect. Sacred Mountain itself desires to possess it, and countless others covet it. Congratulations on obtaining it, sir."
Qin San smiled apologetically and handed the space bag to Su Yi. It was obvious that he couldn't refuse the item being auctioned.
Su Yi sighed helplessly, and then reluctantly packed away the wooden box. It wasn't convenient to hold the Star Cloud Ganoderma in hand either. There were protective seals arranged on the jade box, so it could be placed inside the space bag.
"Sir, there is one more thing. This is a gift from Lingbao Pavilion for you."
Qin San handed a palm-sized object to Su Yi. It glowed with a radiant light, with shimring symbols and emanated a dangerous aura.
Su Yi's eyes sparkled with excitent as he laid his gaze upon it. The object had a yellowish hue, exuding a profound and perilous aura that sent shivers down one's spine with just a glance.
"This is the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman!"
Su Yi's gaze trembled as he observed the scene. This was just like the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman he had seen at the auction. Astonishingly, it turned out to be another Soul Controlling Killing Talisman. Judging from its aura, it seed to surpass the Yuan Emperor Realm's third-grade Soul Controlling Killing Talisman he encountered before.
The Soul Controlling Killing Talisman, when activated, has the power to stir residual souls and seal them within its enchantnt. Once wielded, the user can unleash a terrifying force.
The more powerful the Soul Tar, the stronger the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman they can create. Its strength is naturally greater and is also influenced by various factors such as the Soul Tar's spirit power.
"Sir, this is not a Spirit Harnessing Killing Talisman, this is a Spirit Shielding Talisman, the Spirit Shielding Talisman of the Fifth Grade of Yuan Emperor Realm. I am grateful for your support at our Lingbao Pavilion auction, so this Spirit Shielding Talisman is a gift from our Lingbao Pavilion to you. It may be a small item, but it is a token of our appreciation," Qin San said to Su Yi.
"It turned out to be a Spirit Shielding Talisman."
Su Yi felt a bit embarrassed secretly. As a Soul Tar, he was surprised that he didn't recognize the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman and Spirit Shielding Talisman imdiately. However, he did know that the Spirit Shielding Talisman was also a technique used by Soul Tars, and it had a similar effect as the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman.
The Soul Controlling Killing Talisman is an offensive technique.
But the Spirit Shielding Talisman was defensive in nature.
Although the Spirit Shielding Talisman was much easier to create, it only possessed defensive capabilities and couldn't be used for attacks. However, it was able to withstand powerful attacks, making it an extraordinary protective item.
"Thank you very much."
Why would Su Yi be polite? He imdiately tucked the Soul Controlling Killing Talisman into his arms, not wanting to let it go to waste. How could he possibly reject it? After all, a previous Soul Controlling Killing Talisman had been auctioned for a sky-high price. Now burdened with a terrifying debt, Su Yi felt it was only right to take hold of such a Soul Controlling Killing Talisman.
"Do you have any other needs, sir? Would you like to take a stroll around the Lingbao Pavilion?" Qin San asked with enthusiasm.
"Never mind, never mind."
Su Yi, without any hesitation, shook his head. He had already accumulated a massive amount of debt. If he were to continue wandering around, he was afraid that he might lose control of himself. There were certainly many treasures inside the Lingbao Pavilion, but he absolutely couldn't afford to take on any more debt.
Inside the Lingbao Pavilion, there was a separate and special pathway leading out. After a mont, Su Yi and Xi Wuqing stepped out of the Lingbao Pavilion.
As soon as they stepped out of the Lingbao Pavilion, an invisible and mysterious aura instantly filled the air all around.
Xi Wuqing felt a sense of unease, sensing trouble. From the very beginning, his expression slightly hardened, and now his eyebrows furrowed slightly, his deanor growing inwardly serious.
Su Yi carefully sensed that beneath the Heavenly Yuan Demonic Soul, under the probing of his keen soul power, he also faintly detected so traces, as if they were fleeting and elusive.
"It looks like they have been waiting all this ti!"
Su Yi's eyebrows raised slightly. Ever since he ca out of the auction, he had been aware of these subtle traces that seed to be watching him. He could sense that these elusive traces were exactly the sa as the ones he had encountered inside the auction.
Su Yi naturally understood what was going on. The Star Cloud Ganoderma and the impressive wooden box had both ended up in his hands. It was likely that he had now beco the target of many powerful individuals. While he should be safe within Central Region City, where everyone would be wary of him, the consequences would be dire if he were to leave the city.
"Little brother Yi Su."
Suddenly, a familiar face appeared, wearing a smile. It was none other than Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan, accompanied by several powerful individuals and young disciples from Yutian Palace.
"Guan Lan, the revered elder."
Su Yi bowed, and here he encountered Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan. Su Yi naturally didn't think it was a coincidence. Just monts ago, mbers from Yutian Palace were also present in the exclusive VIP box at the top floor of the auction. They must have seen him and knew that he successfully bid on the special wooden box and Star Cloud Ganoderma. Now, Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan's presence here was probably to protect him.
"Brother Su Yi, can you now co back to Yutian Palace?"
Guan Lan nodded at Xi Wuqing and turned to Su Yi, asking with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Su Yi was actually able to sit in that special guest room, and the attitude of the Lingbao Pavilion was quite unusual. To be able to bid and acquire the starry cloud spirit mushroom and mysterious wooden box, all of this made Guan Lan feel increasingly unable to understand this young man before him.
"Co back, of course co back."
Su Yi nodded, feeling much safer with people from Yutian Palace around.
"Let's go together then!" smiled Palace Master Guan Lan.
...
"Did you leave?"
Inside Yutian Palace, a spacious room with simple and plain furnishings, a middle-aged man who appeared to be in his forties sat cross-legged. His gaze was deep, dressed in a green robe. He turned to Qin San, the shopkeeper, in front of him and asked.
"Just now, I walked with Deputy Palace Master Guan Lan from Yutian Palace."
Qin San, the shopkeeper, spoke up. In front of this middle-aged man, although he seed casual, there was a hint of undisguised awe in the depth of his gaze.
"Yutian Palace..."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes flickered and he murmured softly, "Yi Su, the Overlord Sect, Heavenly Grade soul quality... Such talent, Yutian Palace will naturally befriend him."
"But does this Overlord Sect really exist?"
Qin San had so doubts. Indeed, he had never heard of the Overlord Sect before. If it was truly an obscure sect, then how could it have such extraordinary disciples, accompanied by a Soul Tar at the Yuan Emperor Realm and a formidable demon clan expert at the Demonic Emperor Realm by its side?
"The Overlord Sect probably doesn't exist."
With a faint smile, the middle-aged man then gazed at Qin San, the assistant shopkeeper, with evident curiosity, and asked, "In your opinion, what is the background of this person?"
"This person is so mysterious. Despite being young, they possess a profound and unfathomable wisdom. It seems like they have little interest in the wooden box of Fuyao Sect and are rely plotting against Sacred Mountain. Moreover, they also possess a black card from my Lingbao Pavilion, the sa one that was sent by that person..."
