The surface of the mirror was blurry, rippling like raindrops falling on a calm lake. It covered up all the scenery at the bottom of the lake, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
"Hmph, Ninth Aunt really cares about our Myriad Treasure Tower. She even laid down a restriction. Do you think we'll spy on them?"
Ke Tong Guang's expression darkened. Extreme displeasure flashed across his face as he spoke angrily.
"Cough, cough."
Li Feiyu said awkwardly, "This … aren't we spying on them?"
Ke Tong Guang blushed and snorted, "If she wasn't with Li Yunxiao, why would we spy on them?"
Hu Mingri said, "That Li Yunxiao is indeed not simple. All the movements in this tower will be reflected in these thirty-six Earth Fiend Mirrors. He can actually cast an art to isolate them. He's quite remarkable!"
"Looks like it's true that his divine sense can penetrate the mirror walls." Ke Tong Guang's face was full of shock.
Hu Mingri said, "What's important now isn't whether it's true or not. Qin Chuan and Zhou Chu brought the Saint Domain's iron order, asking us to help investigate Li Yunxiao. The problem now is how to explain to them."
Li Feiyu said with a headache, "Investigating Li Yunxiao is their private matter. It shouldn't have anything to do with the Saint Domain. Don't forget that Li Yunxiao's Yanwu City is still under the Saint Domain's protection. I'm afraid they'll clash. More accurately, I'm afraid they'll clash in New Yan City. "
Hu Mingri nodded and said, "Indeed, Li Yunxiao's identity isn't simple. We don't dare to provoke Qin Chuan and Zhou Chu. We must suppress them from clashing in New Yan City. As long as they leave New Yan City … hmph … even if they die together, it's none of our business!"
Li Feiyu said, "I think these three will fight sooner or later. We can only 'stall' them. I'll do my best to deal with Qin Chuan and Zhou Chu. Lord Hu will have to spend more effort on Li Yunxiao's side. "
Hu Mingri said, "I'll send someone to keep an eye on him. If we have no choice, even if we use force to suppress them, we can't let them clash in our sphere of influence. This is just the worst outcome. Right now, the Myriad Treasure Tower is extremely short of manpower. Apart from Bi Haodang in the auction venue, there are still many unknown factors that make me feel uneasy. "He looked worried.
Ke Tongguang smiled and said, "Master Hu is too nervous. It's normal to be on high alert, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Hu Mingri nodded, and the three of them quickly disappeared from the main hall.
At this moment, backstage of the auction venue, in a middle hall of the East Courtyard.
Aunt Jiu said with a grave expression, "Did Young Master Yun notice anything strange in the Mei Family's Wuding River? Or did it trigger something? "
Li Yunxiao was shocked and asked, "Why does Ninth Aunt ask this?"
Aunt Jiu looked at him and said, "Young Master Yun's expression is flickering, so you must be pregnant?"
Li Yunxiao said, "Did something happen to the Mei family or the Wuding River?"
Both of them were asking each other for advice, and neither of them were willing to reveal anything.
Aunt Jiu smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "I'm really at a disadvantage talking to Young Master Yun. The Wuding River is the origin of the Mei Family's strange power, so it's extremely important. I don't dare to hide anything from you. Ever since the Wuding River reopened, the spiritual energy in it has become stronger and stronger, and the toxicity has also become stronger. In the beginning, the Mei Family's disciples benefited greatly, and I was secretly happy. Dong 'er was able to break through to high-level martial venerable so quickly because of this blessing, but later … "
Her face suddenly revealed a look of deep worry, and she said, "Dong 'er, you tell him."
Mei Dong 'er responded with a grave expression and said, "I should be the one who feels this the most. The strange toxicity in the Wuding River allows the Mei Family's people to have an extremely powerful appraisal ability, and the strength of this ability is completely proportional to the toxicity in the body. "
She raised her hand and circulated her Origin Power, and a dark green aura seeped out of her palm.
Then, she formed a hand seal with her right hand and pressed two fingers together, pointing at the green aura.
A golden ray of light circled around her fingertip, forming a golden ring the size of a ring. The dark green aura seemed to be restrained by this golden ring, and it slowly surged before finally condensing into a green crystal that looked like fine sand.
Mei Dong 'er's face was already pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
Even with her Nine Star Martial Venerable strength, she was almost exhausted after completing this action.
"Big Brother Yunxiao, this is the toxin. In the past, the toxicity in the Wuding River was too concentrated, and even if the body absorbed it, it would definitely not be able to condense into a crystalline state. But now, not only has the quantity changed, but the quality seems to have changed as well. "
As Mei Dong 'er spoke, cold sweat dripped down her forehead. She continuously channeled Origin Power into the ring-like golden ring to maintain the crystalline state of the toxin.
Li Yunxiao's pupils suddenly shrank, and he looked at the green crystal in shock. It was only a tenth the size of a grain of rice.
Aunt Jiu said, "The effects of this toxin on the Mei Family's people are temporarily unknown, but the yin poison that Dong 'er forced out is extremely powerful." She threw out a piece of silver metal, and it flashed in the air.
Mei Dong 'er's hand seal changed, and the golden ring suddenly dispersed. The green crystal immediately turned into smoke again. She clenched her fist and fiercely slapped the silver metal.
There was a flash of light, and a green light instantly pierced through the silver metal, burning a thumb-sized hole.
Li Yunxiao's expression changed greatly, and he exclaimed in shock, "Northern Sky Cold Star Iron!"
The metal that was pierced through was none other than the Northern Sky Cold Star Iron that he used to refine the Myriad Sword Illustration!
He suddenly grabbed the air, and the Northern Sky Cold Star Iron instantly entered his hand. His expression was extremely grave as he examined it.
Aunt Jiu had a helpless expression on her face. She bitterly smiled and said, "Although the effects of this toxin on the body are still unknown, Young Master Yun has already seen its might. As the head of the Mei Family, I won't be able to eat or sleep in peace if I can't figure out the situation with this thing!"
The surroundings of the hole that was pierced through were extremely smooth, as if it was naturally formed. It did not seem like it was caused by an external force.
"It means that not only can this thing give the Mei Family supernatural abilities, but it also has such a powerful corrosive power."
Li Yunxiao's forehead wrinkled into a crease, and he solemnly said, "Dong 'er, if you feel any discomfort, immediately stop. You must not enter the river to cultivate!"
Mei Dong 'er's heart warmed when she saw that he was so concerned about her. She wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and smiled sweetly. "If the situation is not right, I will definitely stop cultivating. However, this matter concerns the future of the Mei Family, so I must figure it out before I can be at ease."
Li Yunxiao nodded and said, "I have never seen this thing before, but it is indeed extremely terrifying. Dong 'er, can you make another one for me to investigate?"
Mei Dong 'er was troubled. "This thing can only form a crystal under the suppression of a powerful force. We have tried all kinds of methods to preserve it, but to no avail. As soon as it leaves the suppression, it will immediately return to its gaseous state and corrode everything. "
Li Yunxiao said, "You just need to force it out of your body. I have my own ways."
Mei Dong 'er was stunned for a moment before she replied, "Alright!"
She began to circulate her origin energy again and gritted her teeth to condense a tiny green crystal. Her entire body couldn't help but tremble, as if she couldn't hold on for much longer.
Li Yunxiao casually waved his hand and grabbed the crystal. Following which, a green light flashed, and it disappeared into his palm.
Aunt Jiu and Mei Dong 'er's eyes lit up in disbelief.
Aunt Jiu was shocked. "How did Young Master Yun store this thing?"
Li Yunxiao said, "I'm sorry, but I can't teach this method to anyone else. Also, only I can use it." His method was actually very simple. He just needed to store it in the Divine Monument and use the power of laws to suppress it.
Aunt Jiu said in disappointment, "Since that's the case, I can't force it. Young Master Yun, can you tell me what happened in the Wuding River? "
Li Yunxiao nodded and said, "Actually, nothing much happened. I only found a jade tablet at the bottom of the Wuding River, and the words' Winding River Leads to Serenity 'were written on it. The material of that jade tablet was very special. I wanted to take it away, but a terrifying force came from below, forcing me to give up. "
"Jade tablet? Winding River Leads to Serenity?! "
Aunt Jiu was shocked. She seemed to have thought of something, and her expression changed drastically.
Li Yunxiao was surprised. "Aunt Jiu, you know about this tablet?"
Aunt Jiu said with a serious expression, "I seem to have seen similar records in the ancient books of the Mei Family. After this auction, I will go back and look through it. Maybe I can find the key to this."
Li Yunxiao saw that her expression was flickering, and he knew that she was hiding something. However, this was her family's matter. Although he was very curious, it was not appropriate for him to ask too much. He only said, "I will do my best to find out about that green crystal. If there is any news, I will inform Aunt Jiu immediately."
Aunt Jiu bowed and said, "Thank you, Young Master Yun."
Her gratitude was genuine. Although she did not obtain much useful information, at least Li Yunxiao had provided her with a clue, which gave her a starting point.
"Young Master Yun previously said that he wanted to find me for something. May I know what it is?" Aunt Jiu asked curiously.
Li Yunxiao laughed bitterly and said, "I am also unclear about this object. I want to find Aunt Jiu, who can appraise all things, to help me see what this object is." He grabbed with his five fingers and opened them in front of Aunt Jiu. A light yellow insect the size of a grain of rice appeared in his palm.
"A living object?"
Aunt Jiu's pupils shrank slightly. She said in shock, "What a strong metal elemental power. If I did not feel its vitality, I would have thought that it was a mutated metal elemental itself!"
Mei Dong 'er also had a curious expression. She moved closer and was also shocked.
Aunt Jiu placed her hand on top of Li Yunxiao's palm. There was a slight ripple between their palms, like the rippling of water. The golden insect's body also trembled slightly.
"Ah?!"
Aunt Jiu suddenly screamed and retracted her hand reflexively. She was so frightened that she retreated repeatedly.
"Aunt Jiu!"
Mei Dong 'er was shocked. She hurriedly went forward to support Aunt Jiu. Her face was full of shock. She had never seen Aunt Jiu lose her composure like this.
Li Yunxiao was also baffled. He said, "What ability does this object have? How could it make Aunt Jiu so afraid?"
Aunt Jiu's face was full of fear. Her breathing also became rough and heavy. She stared at the insect in Li Yunxiao's hand in disbelief.
After a while, she said with lingering fear, "I have never felt such a strong reaction from this object in my life. Although I do not know its origin, this object is definitely a descendant of a true spirit. It might even be a true spirit itself! "
