Chapter 57: Because I’m your junior sister whom you raised since you were little!
“Three-leaf Green Ganoderma, when consumed, can dispel a thousand poisons, heal chronic hidden ailments, and beautify the complexion. Its effect is even better when used for refining pills.”
Upon hearing “dispel a thousand poisons,” Shen Ke’er was already excited, and after hearing “beautify the complexion,” she couldn’t sit still any longer.
“Master…” Shen Ke’er grabbed True Lord Yuehua’s sleeve, looking pitiful.
She was so anxious that she didn’t notice True Lord Yuehua’s eyes also brightened. She thought to herself, ‘I wonder if this Three-leaf Green Ganoderma can get rid of what’s on me…’
The manager of the Treasure Pavilion announced the reserve price: “One million Spirit Stones.”
Before coming here, True Lord Yuehua had sold many things and had some Spirit Stones on her. She bid, “One million one hundred thousand.”
The beauty and skin-enhancing effects of this Spirit Herb were popular among many female cultivators present.
They also began to bid one after another.
“One million two hundred thousand.”
“One million five hundred thousand.”
“Two million.”
The price soared.
Those who came here were not short of money.
There were also many wealthy men who, to please their beloved, would spend extravagantly.
Soon, the price settled at “Two million six hundred thousand Spirit Stones.”
Shen Ke’er was truly anxious: “Master, please, you know my situation. I really need this Three-leaf Green Ganoderma.”
True Lord Yuehua shook her head helplessly: “It’s too expensive.”
She also wanted this Three-leaf Green Ganoderma very much.
However, the money she had obtained from selling the materials and Spirit Treasures she had accumulated over the years was only one million eight hundred thousand Spirit Stones.
She couldn’t bid any higher.
Lin Mo looked at True Lord Yuehua several times.
Why would his Master be so disappointed that she couldn’t afford this Three-leaf Green Ganoderma?
He didn’t think it was because she couldn’t detoxify Shen Ke’er.
His relationship with Shen Ke’er wasn’t that close yet.
Thinking that True Lord Yuehua had always worn a veil for so many years.
Lin Mo had a guess in his heart: perhaps his Master’s face was very ugly, with difficult-to-remove scars, and she wanted to use the Three-leaf Green Ganoderma to treat it?
After all, beauty is a woman’s nature.
Lin Mo thought his guess was probably nine out of ten, but in reality, he was a thousand miles off.
Meanwhile, on Ye Kai’s side, the woman hidden in his ring chuckled, “Your Master probably wants to use the Three-leaf Green Ganoderma to remove the mark of a special demonic furnace that she once was.”
Since yesterday, through conversations with Wanwan, Ye Kai had learned True Lord Yuehua’s secret.
The mark on True Lord Yuehua could only be sensed by higher-ranking demons.
And Wanwan, coincidentally, held a not-low position in the Demon Realm, and coupled with her bloodline, she was able to sense this mark.
Among high-ranking demons, there was a secret technique.
It allowed a human cultivator to practice it, and eventually, the demon would take that human cultivator’s cultivation level for themselves.
Of course, this was different from those extraction methods with extremely low conversion efficiency.
This could be called grafting, perfectly absorbing the cultivation level of the human cultivator who practiced the secret technique.
And cultivators who practiced this secret technique would be branded by the Demon Race as a furnace.
When Ye Kai learned this news, he was overjoyed.
Not only would he have the chance to repair his aptitude, but he would also obtain all of True Lord Yuehua’s cultivation.
True Lord Yuehua was a true Nascent Soul cultivator.
After he obtained all of True Lord Yuehua’s cultivation, he would be able to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one go.
However, before that, Wanwan told him that he had to repair his aptitude first before he could absorb True Lord Yuehua’s cultivation through the secret technique.
And Wanwan had told him all the methods to repair his aptitude.
Wanwan, hidden in the ring, smiled, “Have you thought about it? After using my method, you will be a member of my Demon Race from now on.”
Ye Kai asked with some hesitation, “Wanwan, if I use your method, will my demonic identity be discovered immediately?”
Wanwan explained, “No, your body will be transformed slowly. Even if you become a complete part of the Demon Race, I can still help you conceal your aura!”
Hearing this, Ye Kai was completely relieved. He then asked, “Then Wanwan, do you have a way to make people grow demonic energy?”
“Of course, I have many such methods!”
“For example, let him cultivate demonic techniques, let him take my specially prepared medicine, or let him wear magic artifacts or treasures contaminated with demonic energy.”
Hearing this, Ye Kai had already fully figured out how to get revenge on Lin Mo.
He wanted Lin Mo to experience the feeling of having his Golden Core dug out and his bone marrow extracted by the combined forces of his Master and Junior Sister.
At that time, his expression would surely be very interesting.
Meanwhile, Wanwan in the ring was secretly observing Lin Mo.
‘As expected, there is indeed my aunt’s aura within this human.’
‘How interesting. So that’s how it is? My aunt borrowed a seed from him.’
‘This is great. I want to see what capabilities the person my aunt has chosen possesses, and whether he is as good as the one I chose…’
‘I imagine her expression will be spectacular when my aunt finds out the truth after the person I chose kills him…’
Wanwan in the ring became more and more excited.
She had come to the Human Realm specifically to follow her aunt’s residual aura.
Lin Mo meeting her was also part of her plan. After being saved by Lin Mo, she took the opportunity to get close to him.
However, to her surprise, after Lin Mo picked her up, he simply threw her aside and ignored her, hunting Demonic Beasts and collecting Spirit Herbs nearby.
He didn’t even think to wake her up when he left.
It was Ye Kai, who came later, who gave her a surprise.
This person exuded the scent she liked – the scent of human greed, jealousy, and resentment…
Upon contact, she never expected that this person was a fellow disciple of the person her aunt had taken a liking to, and that this person’s emotions were all caused by the people around her aunt.
Now, by helping Ye Kai, she could get what she wanted and, at the same time, go with the flow to disgust her least favorite aunt.
In a sense, this was also a fortunate coincidence.
On Lin Mo’s side, after contemplating why True Lord Yuehua wanted the Three-leaf Green Ganoderma, he bid, “Three million.”
Seeing him bid, Shen Ke’er was overjoyed: “Thank you, Senior Brother!”
As expected, Senior Brother still cared about her.
Lin Mo smiled: “You don’t need to thank me!”
Because I don’t intend to give it to you.
Lin Mo had his own use for the Three-leaf Green Ganoderma.
At the price of three million Spirit Stones, no one else bid.
After all, it was just a Spirit Herb for beauty, detoxifying, and healing hidden ailments.
Three million Spirit Stones was still too high a price.
Seeing Lin Mo obtain the Three-leaf Green Ganoderma, Shen Ke’er smiled brightly and reached out to take it, thanking her Senior Brother sincerely: “Thank you, Senior Brother, for helping me!”
“I already told you not to thank me, I don’t intend to give it to you.” Lin Mo put the Three-leaf Green Ganoderma back into his storage ring and smiled again.
Shen Ke’er’s smile froze: “Senior Brother, my attitude towards you earlier was problematic. I apologize for that, but please don’t joke with me.”
“I’m not joking with you.” Lin Mo’s smile also disappeared.
“But Senior Brother, you just sold a detoxification Spirit Herb not long ago. This Three-leaf Green Ganoderma doesn’t seem useful to you, does it?”
“If it’s not useful to me, can’t I give it to someone else?” Lin Mo retorted.
“Yes, Senior Brother, give it to me!” Shen Ke’er still hadn’t faced reality.
“Then I’ll ask you, why should I give it to you?” Lin Mo’s face turned cold.
“Because I’m your junior sister whom you raised since you were little!” Shen Ke’er said as a matter of course.
Lin Mo ignored her.
Did Shen Ke’er’s current shameless and oblivious personality stem from the original owner’s favoritism?
Probably not.
When the original owner brought Shen Ke’er over, she was already eight years old.
At the age of eight, her personality was already shaped.
Her becoming like this was also related to Shen Ke’er’s life environment before the age of eight.
Lin Mo was not interested in these things. After all, Shen Ke’er becoming an ungrateful wretch was a fact.
After greeting True Lord Yuehua again, Lin Mo turned and left.
Shen Ke’er, who was publicly humiliated, now had a seed of resentment towards Lin Mo planted in her heart.
Seeing their relationship deteriorate, Ye Kai’s lips curled up. Shen Ke’er was now a pawn in his grand plan.
Even though he wasn’t making any moves himself, things were developing in the direction he wanted. It was truly a turn of fate, and heaven itself was actively helping him.
