Pill of Truth
Pill of Truth
"No, the examination will continue as scheduled. Although the Grand Library is closed, as official lecturers, we can still enter, and we can bring other demon sealers into the Grand Library as long as you're not alone."
"So I can still learn demon sealing techniques as long as I am with you?"
"Yes."
Seeing Yan Hara nod, Yuan sighed in relief.
"However, I will be very busy for a while, so my time in the Grand Library will be very limited." Yan Hara warned him a moment later.
"I understand."
After speaking with Yan Hara, Yuan decided to leave the Grand Library and return to Spirit Heaven.
But before he left, Yan Hara asked him, "By the way, where are you coming to the Grand Library from?"
"Myriad of Techniques?" Yuan responded in a questioning tone.
"I mean where in the Nine Heavens."
"Oh, I am currently in Spirit Heaven."
"What? Spirit Heaven?" Yan Hara's eyes widened with surprise.
It was quite shocking for someone of Yuan's talent to be in Spirit Heaven. In fact, Yan Hara expected Yuan to come from no lower than the Fifth Heaven, so one can imagine her surprise after learning the truth. If only she knew that he'd actually originated from the Lower Heavens.
"What about you, Senior? Where are you from?" Yuan broke the silence and asked her.
"I'm currently in the Seventh Heaven…" She responded in a dazed voice.
"Seventh Heaven… It'll be a while before we can see each other outside of this place. Fortunately, we can see each other in this place."
"You don't need to reach the Seventh Heaven. As long as you reach the Sixth Heaven, I will be able to come to you." Yan Hara said.
"Are you sure? Won't it be expensive to go to a lower world?"
"That is only the case if I want to go below the Sixth Heaven. Things work differently once you enter the Sixth Heaven. The Lower Heaven and Spirit Heaven are relatively the same. We call these two worlds the Mortal Realm."
"The Third, Fourth, and Fifth Heaven aren't that much different from each other since their cultivators are all between Spirit King and Spirit Sovereigns with the limit being Spirit Sovereigns. Once you reach the Sixth Heaven, that is where things change drastically, as there is no longer a limit to one's cultivation level, so it won't require as many resources for me to go down there."
"I see… Thank you for the explanation. I will let you know when I reach the Sixth Heaven." Yuan said to her afterward.
"Good luck." Yan Hara nodded.
Once Yuan left the Grand Library, Yan Hara mumbled to herself, "Even with his talents, it'll probably take him a couple hundred years before he can reach the Sixth Heaven…"
Fortunately for her, who still has tens of thousands of years of longevity, a few hundred years won't mean too much to her, and if she enters seclusion, that amount of time might pass in a flash.
After leaving the Grand Library, Yuan left the Myriad of Techniques and started making his way towards the House of Riches.
A few hours later, he was standing before the auction house once again.
"I think it would make things smoother if I enter with you, Young Master." Feng Yuxiang said before appearing beside him.
Yuan nodded without saying anything since he knew that she was an expert in these situations.
The two of them approached the front door shortly after.
"Welcome to the House of Riches. How may I assist you two?"
A worker asked them when they entered the building.
Since the auction house wasn't open for business, there was nobody outside, but guests could still go there to sell their treasures there.
"We're looking for a specific treasure, and we want the auction house to help us find it." Feng Yuxiang said.
The worker looked a little dazed after hearing Feng Yuxiang's request. After snapping out of it, he spoke, "I-I'm sorry, but we don't offer that kind of service here. Right now, we're only buying treasures and accepting reservations for future auctions—"
Before the worker could even finish his sentence, a figure suddenly appeared behind him and pushed him to the side.
"W-Welcome back to our humble place, Esteemed Guest! Please ignore what this newcomer just said, he doesn't know what he's talking about. We'll be more than happy to assist you in finding your treasure." The person who just showed up said to them.
Of course, this person recognized Feng Yuxiang from the Flood Dragon's Scale auction.
The male worker that had been interrupted suddenly said with a baffled look on his face, "Cut the crap. You're the one who doesn't know what you're talking about! I have worked here way before you started!"
The female worker frowned and said, "And today will be your last day here if you continue to interrupt us. They are esteemed guests of the House of Riches, and they're friends of Senior Gu!"
The male worker's face immediately paled, and he turned to look at Feng Yuxiang and Yuan before lowering his head.
"I-I'm sorry…"
"Can we just get this over with?" Feng Yuxiang said with a nonchalant expression.
"Of course! Please, follow me. Senior Gu is absent today, so I will take care of you two." The female worker then said.
"Prepare the best tea for our guests." The female worker said to the male worker.
"Right away."
Feng Yuxiang and Yuan proceeded to follow the female worker to the best guest room in the building.
Once they sat down, the female worker asked them, "What kind of treasure are you looking for, esteemed guests?"
"We're looking for the Pill of Truth. Do you know of it?" Feng Yuxiang asked the worker, but she didn't need a response to know the answer, as the worker had a puzzled face after hearing the pill.
