Chapter 1100: The Ancient Spirit

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“The representative of the royal family of the Ice Spirit is sitting right here. You are suspicious,” Master Luo Cheng said. It was easy to recognize an Ice Spirit. As a result, everyone there knew he was talking about Ye Xue. Ye Xue looked toward the veiled woman in a cooperative manner.

Although she was wearing a veil, when the two women’s eyes met, people could feel the coldness they were giving off. It was freezing everyone sitting in the chairs all around them.

“Among all the races, the Spirit race is the only one allowed to stay in the Nine Realms with the human race. But now that other races have reappeared and the Spirit has declined, can we still be called the Spirit?” the veiled woman asked. She pointed out the Spirit’s position straightforwardly. Ye Xue looked away.

Jiang Chen let out a long sigh. He recalled when he had been in the Three Middle Realms, the Spirit there had been in a very high position. They used to be so arrogant that they had even thought they were more powerful than the human race. Looking back, it was ridiculous.

“However, a Spirit heart of supreme level is really rare. Shall we have a private talk after the auction?” The veiled woman seemed to be interested in Ye Xue.

Not until then did Ye Xue realize something. She said in a low voice, “She is an Ancient Spirit.”

“For real?” Jiang Chen frowned. Then he recalled the information he had read. It was said there was a group of Spirits who were unwilling to stay in the Three Middle Realms or to be ruled by the human race. They left the Nine Realms to look for a small world suitable for the Spirits to live in. Ever since, no one had heard anything about them. Perhaps this veiled woman with her expression and wealth was associated with them.

It’s getting more and more interesting, Jiang Chen thought to himself.

Even a legendary race like the Ancient Spirits had appeared. The Dragons, who had allegedly opened their plane channel for a very short while, might appear soon as well. Jiang Chen recalled the Divine Race again. He still had a Divine Egg with him.

....

Back at the auction, both Master Luo Cheng and the veiled woman refused to give an inch in the auction of the Ice Soul Stone. So, in the end, Baohai Auctioneers took the Ice Soul Stone back, but they did not say what they would do with it.

“Master, let us handle it.” Xie Ting guaranteed Jiang Chen confidently when the latter was feeling bothered.

“Thank you. Please do me this favor. The Ice Soul Stone is very important for me,” Master Luo Cheng said.

Xie Ting took a deep breath. The master had never spoken to her like this before. This also proved the importance of the Ice Soul Stone. Xie Ting knew this was the biggest challenge the Yunzhen Chamber of Commerce had ever met. It would depend on her whether they could keep the master in their chamber of commerce.

After the interlude of the Ice Soul Stone, none of the following treasures piqued Jiang Chen’s interest. When the auction was finally over, Xie Ting left first. She went to talk with Baohai Auctioneers.

In the meantime, the clients left through another entrance.

“What a pity. You are going back to that underdeveloped place again.” Ye Tian got to his feet. Turning around and throwing Jiang Chen a glance, he laughed because Jiang Chen was going back to the Sky Reaching Continent again. By comparison, he would go to a heaven-level continent. There he owned things more important than rankings or states. They were roots and position. Jiang Chen could not compete with him at all.

Saying nothing, Jiang Chen watched the Saint of All Beginnings and Ye Tian leaving. The Saint of All Beginnings threw Jiang Chen a complicated look before she left. “Jiang Chen, when will you come to a heaven-level continent?” Tian Ling asked. To her eyes, Jiang Chen would not be happy staying on a spirit-level continent.

“It won’t be long.” Jiang Chen answered.

“Great.” Tian Ling nodded. Then she left with Han Li and the others. Compared to the beginning, Han Li was very quiet when the auction was over. Maybe he had been intimidated by Jiang Chen’s exaggerated bidding.

The veiled woman walked over. She had never taken her eyes off Ye Xue. “You are representing the Ice Spirit now?” she asked.

“Yes.”

Although no one could see her facial expression, it was easy to imagine the veiled woman’s mocking face when she had heard Ye Xue’s answer. “He is the man you chose?”

“Yes.” Ye Xue gave her the same answer.

“He, he, then I know what kind of situation the Ice Spirit is stuck in,” the veiled woman said.

This time Ye Xue did not answer. She pointed the Doctrine Sword she had just gotten at the veiled woman, meaning she would like to fight with the latter.

“I’m not the strongest. Even if you defeat me, it doesn’t mean anything.” The veiled woman did not accept her challenge. She looked toward Jiang Chen.

“Not any power can surpass the power of martial arts. In the current balance, the hierarchy of the power system is a trapezoid, but the power of martial arts must be the one that occupies the highest layer.” She said it very loudly. She was not only speaking to Jiang Chen, but also to Master Luo Cheng in the first row. Certainly, she did not know they were actually the same person.

“The thing is, are you on the layer of the power of martial arts?” Jiang Chen answered with a question.

“Doesn’t seem so.” Master Luo Cheng got to his feet, smiling complacently.

Xie Ting had come back with good news. Baohai Auctioneers would sell the thing to Jiang Chen in private on one condition. If the master had more breakthrough immortal elixirs next time, he would entrust them to Baohai for auction.

.....

At the same time, Xie Ting told Jiang Chen a subordinate of the veiled woman had also been talking to Baohai Auctioneers, and he had offered them a great amount of money, but Baohai Auctioneers did not choose them.

The veiled woman, who had been speaking in a sarcastic tone, was embarrassed. Although there was a veil, people could still perceive how embarrassed she was.

“It seems your power of martial arts is below fame and profits,” Jiang Chen said.

“Huh, Baohai Auctioneers doesn’t understand what the real power of martial arts is. That’s all.” The veiled woman then left through the sanctity-level entrance.

Not until then was the coldness in Ye Xue’s eyes relieved. She looked at Jiang Chen and then at Master Luo Cheng. She vaguely guessed that Master Luo Cheng had purchased the stone for them, but she was not sure.

Master Luo Cheng had claimed he would use the stone to build Doctrine Artifacts. He had spent a lot of money on it. If he was really helping them, her apprentice younger brother must be very influential.

Jiang Chen suddenly decided to tell her the truth. “Ye Xue, go fetch the Ice Soul Stone,” Jiang Chen said.

“Me?” Ye Xue was struck dumb. Casting Master Luo Cheng, who was standing not far away, a look, she nodded after hesitating.

Then all of them left Baohai Auctioneers and went back to the Sky Reaching City.

.....

Ye Xue came to the Sundry Goods Store, where she found Master Jiang Chen. He was looking at the Ice Soul Stone.

“Master,” she greeted him in a low voice, without saying anything unnecessary.

Jiang Chen thought his apprentice elder sister was wonderful. At the same time, he had made sure the protections of the Sundry Goods Store had been deployed. Then he said, “What are you going to use the Ice Soul Stone for?”

“The Ice Soul Stone will be very useful to me. It can help me improve my spirit method.” Ye Xue certainly would not tell him the truth.

“Jiang Chen spent so much money on it. And that’s what you are going to do with it? You’re not telling me the truth, are you?” Jiang Chen said.

Throwing him a glance, Ye Xue said coldly, “Master, don’t beat around the bush. Just say what you want to say.”

“You’ll accept any conditions?” A cunning look flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes while he was speaking.

“Master.” Ye Xue walked toward him. That extremely pretty face got closer and closer.
