Volume 10, Chapter 656 – Saving Senior Sister (Part 3)

“Junior Sister, are you cold? Why are you trembling?”

Ruan Lingyu’s voice suddenly broke the silence.

Qi Huang glanced around and found four pairs of beautiful eyes fixed on her, all filled with doubt. She quickly coughed twice, wiped away the drool at the corner of her mouth, and said, “I’m not cold. I’m angry! How dare they sell my senior sister! Later, I’m definitely going to carry out justice on them!”

The other girls looked at her with admiration upon hearing this, all except for Cheng Hongling, who frowned slightly. Among them, she knew best that her own doppelgänger’s personality was far from being that simple or straightforward.

Meanwhile, in the Guo family’s rear chamber, a group of people was quietly watching the Blood Bodhi Tree.

“Hold on. This Blood Bodhi Tree is amazing and all, but what’s the point of making blood with it? Planning to use it to water vegetables?”

One of the onlookers voiced his doubts.

‘How does he know blood can be used to water vegetables?’

Qi Huang’s heart skipped a beat in mild surprise.

At this moment, the servant who was demonstrating the Blood Bodhi Tree’s power scowled and snapped, “Ignorant fool! I’m just showing everyone this treasure’s ability to create blood. In the martial world, injuries are inevitable. With this tree in your possession, as long as you haven’t drained the very last drop of your blood, you can eat just a single leaf and recover instantly. That’s why it’s an extremely precious life-saving medicine!”

“And that’s not all,” the owner of the Blood Bodhi Tree added. “In the cultivation world, many powerful techniques require either blood or essence blood to activate. With this tree, you can create blood outside your body, giving you unlimited opportunities to cast such techniques. So this isn’t just a supreme healing medicine, but also a supreme auxiliary treasure for combat! Once, the largest auction house in the cultivation world sold one, and the final price reached fifty million taels of silver. That’s equivalent to a small kingdom’s annual tax revenue! You can verify this yourself.”

“What?! Fifty million taels of silver?!”

Gasps of shock erupted around the room.

‘If we had this, wouldn’t that mean the main body could use the Heavenly Thunder Sword endlessly without any restrictions?’

Qi Huang suddenly realized this, and when she turned to glance at her main body, she indeed saw a fiery light flicker in those beautiful eyes.

‘This Blood Bodhi Tree is mine.’

Qi Huang made her decision immediately.

Master Guo pondered for a moment before speaking: “This gentleman’s Blood Bodhi Tree is indeed priceless. I wonder… does anyone here have a higher offer?”

The crowd exchanged helpless looks, no one daring to speak up.

“In that case,” Master Guo declared, “this fairy’s ownership goes to him.”

A servant immediately handed over Yun Fei’s deed of sale to the winning bidder.

“Hahaha! I never thought I, Wang Laosan, would get a fairy as my concubine! Thanks to my ancestors for leaving me this Blood Bodhi Tree!”

The owner of the tree, Wang Laosan, laughed heartily, waving the deed excitedly.

“Brother Wang, save the laughter for later. First, tell me. What should I watch out for when taking care of this Blood Bodhi Tree?” Master Guo asked curiously.

“First, it needs plenty of sunlight. Second, it must be planted in red soil from the southern Dragon Ridge Mountains of the Gaosheng Kingdom!” Wang Laosan explained before adding, “Oh, right, Master Guo, if you want to use it to generate blood outside the body, each leaf has a cooldown period of about three days. So it’s best to grow the tree as large as possible. The more leaves you have, the more blood you can produce.”

“I see!” Master Guo nodded in satisfaction.

At this point, the three female disciples of the Honghua Sect had all been sold off. Those who had failed to buy them looked utterly dejected; they knew this wasn’t just an auction, it was their only chance to change their families’ destinies.

Suddenly, Qi Huang vanished from sight and reappeared in front of the Guo family’s rear chamber. With a mocking tone, she called out, “No one inside move. You’re surrounded by me.”

“Who’s there?!”

Master Guo’s furious roar resounded instantly.

Qi Huang strolled leisurely toward the chamber. The Divine Sense barrier outside at the Divine  Realm level shattered instantly, no sturdier than Qin Quan’s brittle old bones.

She pushed open the door, and everyone inside stared at her in shock. No one expected the troublemaker to be a delicate, beautiful young woman.

Master Guo’s face, however, was solemn. Only he knew the rear chamber was protected by a Divine Realm barrier; no ordinary person should have been able to enter.

“Wuu… wuu…”

The moment Yun Fei and her two sisters saw Qi Huang, they broke into sobs, tears streaming uncontrollably down their cheeks. They had clearly been terrified.

“Who are you? How dare you trespass into my Guo residence?!”

Master Guo’s entire body tensed, his muscles swelling beneath his loose robe, exuding a terrifying aura like a wild beast poised to strike. Indeed, his strength had reached the mid-stage Legendary Realm, equivalent to the mid-stage Divine Realm among cultivators. Making him far more fearsome than lions or tigers in the eyes of ordinary people.

Everyone nearby instinctively backed away, cowed by his oppressive presence.

Qi Huang, however, remained utterly calm. She spoke firmly: “Human trafficking, whether in the cultivation world or the mortal realm, is punishable by death. So… I am here to kill you.”

The moment she finished, several strands of hair behind her head shot out like ghostly blades, slicing faint scars into the air itself. In an instant, they pierced straight through Master Guo’s skull. Given her current strength, killing a mid-stage Legendary warrior didn’t even require the assistance of Divine Sense.

Master Guo collapsed with a stunned expression, unable to comprehend how effortlessly he’d been killed.

“Ahhh!”

Chaos erupted. The crowd screamed and scrambled, fleeing in all directions, none daring to even look at Yun Fei and her sisters again.

“Leave the deeds, or die.”

Qi Huang’s cold reminder cut through the panic.

The three buyers trembled violently, hastily handing over the deeds of sale.

Wang Laosan hesitated for a moment before mustering his courage and dashing toward the center of the room, intending to reclaim the Blood Bodhi Tree.

But Qi Huang was faster. Like a phantom, she appeared ahead of him, snatched the Blood Bodhi Tree into her spatial ring, and glared at him coldly. “Human trafficking is a capital offense. Sparing your life is already mercy. And you still dare try to reclaim stolen goods? Do you have a death wish?”

Wang Laosan shuddered violently and fled in tears.

Qi Huang immediately untied the three senior sisters, just as Cheng Hongling and the others entered the room.

“Wuu… wuu… junior sister…”

Miao Xiang flung herself into Qi Huang’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably the moment she was freed.

“Th-thank heavens you came… otherwise, we would’ve been sold off as breeding tools,” Yun Fei choked out.

Su Qingying’s beautiful eyes were red as well, though her pride kept her from appearing too fragile.

“Enough crying. What exactly happened here?” Ruan Lingyu soothed them as she asked.

“Let’s leave first. No need to stir up more trouble,” Qi Huang advised, then turned to the three women. “Where are your swords?”

“That bastard stole them. No idea where he hid them.” Yun Fei glared angrily at Master Guo’s corpse.

Qi Huang began searching the entire Guo residence, breaking through every Divine Sense barrier she encountered without hesitation. Soon, she located the three senior sisters’ swords.

“You three go on ahead. I’ll retrieve the swords.”

After giving that instruction, she vanished like a wisp of smoke.

Before long, they regrouped outside the Guo residence. By now, chaos had consumed the estate, so they quickly departed to avoid drawing attention.

“What exactly happened? Weren’t you just here to ask about the Golden Fate Blossoms’ seeds? How did you end up captured and auctioned off?” Ruan Lingyu pressed.

“I came to ask about the seeds, but that bastard Guo saw we were foreign cultivators and got greedy. He not only stole our Blue-Scale Swords but also captured us to auction off,” Yun Fei explained briefly.

“And the protective talismans I gave you? Those were Heavenly Tribulation Realm defensive talismans. How could they possibly catch you?” Qi Huang demanded.

“That bastard Guo drugged our tea. The so-called deeds of sale… we were forced to stamp them after we were unconscious,” Yun Fei recounted bitterly.

“I see…” Qi Huang sighed helplessly. The protective talismans were indeed powerful, but no talisman could save someone from walking into a trap willingly.

“How many times have I told you not to meddle with matters regarding the Golden Fate Blossoms? Why don’t you ever listen? If we hadn’t arrived in time today, who knows what would’ve happened to you three? Do you want your junior sister regretting this for the rest of her life?”

Cheng Hongling finally exploded in anger.

The three senior sisters lowered their heads, not daring to argue.

Qi Huang, meanwhile, said nothing. Though they had caused trouble, they had also brought an unexpected windfall, the Blood Bodhi Tree now safely stored in her spatial ring.

“When we return, you three will face the wall and reflect on your actions. From now on, if you want to leave the sect, you must personally report to me. Otherwise, you won’t take a single step outside the Honghua Sect.”

Cheng Hongling issued the command sternly.

The three senior sisters were unwilling but didn’t dare protest. They knew their junior sister was acting for their own good.

The group soon returned to the Honghua Sect, and Qi Huang wasted no time taking out the Blood Bodhi Tree to study it. She needed to test whether her blood worked with the tree. After all, each leaf’s blood-generating ability had a cooldown. If the tree was too small, its usage would be severely limited.
