The Evil Emperor's Beloved

Great Elder Ye Hai: "Among the contestants from other countries, I haven't heard of anyone with dark spiritual roots."

"Or, someone concealed his spiritual roots? This is still very possible. After all, the dark system was originally a mutated spiritual root, and it is also possible that it was derived later."

Jing Yueli's eyes darkened. It seemed that she still had to ask Anyu Tower to survey the participants from various countries once more. Otherwise...

If someone hadn't exposed it themselves this time, the consequences would have been disastrous.

By the time you discover it on the day of the competition, it will be too late.

Dark spiritual roots are no joke.

Or is this also the reason why the Treasure Pavilion put the Soul-Devouring Sword up for auction?

Or are there actually more details that we have overlooked?

It seems that we really need to arrange for Li Feng and others to screen the contestants again.

It can only be said that they were only half right about this matter.

The reason why the Treasure Pavilion dared to put the Soul-Devouring Sword up for auction was largely because when the Soul-Devouring Sword first came into the hands of the Treasure Pavilion, it had already been sealed by the weapon refiner in the Treasure Pavilion. Without the weapon refiner's seal, its true power could not be revealed.

The Soul-Devouring Sword is called the Soul-Devouring Sword because when it reaches the level of a divine weapon, as the name suggests, it can devour the soul of a monk.

If the cultivator has dark spiritual roots, the power of this sword will be even greater.

"One hundred thousand and one hundred taels"

“Haha, it seems we have overlooked a lot. There is more than one bidder!” Feng Xuanyi raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically.

Ye Zhengzhe: "Indeed, the spies we sent out didn't investigate carefully enough. We were negligent!"

Old Master Jing looked at Jing Yueli with some uncertainty.

Jing Yueli kept her head down, thinking about her own things, and didn't notice Grandpa Jing.

Jing Wenhao was even less clear about it, as he had just returned from college.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Jing Yueli.

Only then did Jing Yueli feel someone was staring at her, and she raised her head.

Seeing the look in Grandpa Jing's eyes, he knew that Grandpa Jing was worried, so he comforted him, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I will arrange for someone to screen it again."

"Okay, you know what to do."

Jing Yueli also admitted that she was negligent this time. Although the overall strength of the Dark Feather Tower in the Xuanyuan Dynasty is considered strong, it has only been established for a short time and its foundation is too shallow compared to some old forces. There are still many areas where they need to learn and improve.

It is not difficult to see from this incident that for many things, what we find out is just the surface, which is what others want you to see.

No wonder Li Feng had arranged for Li Yu and Li Ye to infiltrate the competition participants so that they could get first-hand information.

In order to confirm her guess, Jing Yueli took out the communication jade slip and sent a text message to Mo Yunyu.

Soon, I received a reply.

Just as Jing Yueli guessed, there are people with dark spiritual roots among the candidates in the competition.

"Dongling Country, Bailiqing"

She remembered that in the information Li Feng had given her before, Baili Qing had an elder sister, Baili Xue, who was studying at Yunhai College and was a disciple under the fifth elder of Yunhai College.

In this way, Baili Qing is undoubtedly a card of Dongling Kingdom.

It’s a pity that it was exposed too early!

I still couldn't resist the huge temptation.

Now she had a bold idea. Since Mo Yunyu knew the existence of this dark spiritual root and put this Soul-Devouring Sword up for auction, besides exposing it, it was possible that this sword was not as powerful as imagined and could not exert its true strength at all.

Otherwise, wouldn't Mo Yunyu be setting a trap for her? After all, they are friends!

At this time, the jade slip lit up again, but there were only two words on it: "Be at ease!"

Jing Yueli did not reply and directly threw the communication jade slip into the storage ring.

The word "simple" said it all, she guessed right.

Jing Yueli couldn't help but curl her lips.

"One hundred and fifty thousand taels, are there any customers who want to raise the price?"

Seeing that no one said anything, Luo Yan dropped the hammer directly, "The Soul-Eating Sword belongs to the customer in Box No. 6 on the second floor."

The sound of bidding outside brought Jing Yueli back to reality.

Looking at the auction table, it seems that this Soul-Devouring Sword has returned to Dongling.

"Don't worry, this Soul-Devouring Sword will only unleash the power it should." Jing Yueli suddenly said this.

She also noticed that everyone was in a depressed mood and everyone was looking down in deep thought.

Since she already knew the news, she didn't want to dampen everyone's enthusiasm because of this knife.

The five-nation competition hasn't even started yet, but the momentum has been suppressed.

Everyone in the box looked at her.

"Did Lier get accurate information?" This was all Jing Wenhao could think of.

I heard her say before that she knew the person behind the Treasure Pavilion. Li Er must have received confirmed news for saying so.

"Yeah!" Jing Yueli didn't say anything else.

Feng Xuanyi turned his head and looked at his good friend. He didn't understand what they were talking about!

But judging from the literal meaning, it means that we don't need to take the Soul-Devouring Sword seriously?

Jing Wenhao nodded to him.

This....ah, we haven't reached the point of being in sync with each other yet! What do you mean by nodding?

Feng Xuanyi thought so and asked, "What's the situation? Does it mean... I don't have to focus too much on the Soul Devouring Sword?"

"Not bad!"

Although Feng Xuanyi didn't finish his words, Jing Wenhao knew what he was going to ask, but he still interrupted him.

Although there is a barrier in the box, it cannot be guaranteed to be foolproof.

Maybe there is a secret treasure that can eavesdrop on their conversation? !

It's better to be cautious.

Everyone in the box heard their conversation, and seeing how confident they were, they temporarily felt relieved.

They knew more about the Treasure House in the imperial capital of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.

.......

Because of the Soul-Devouring Sword incident, Ye Zhengzhe and the others were more or less affected.

They had no intention of paying attention to the next few items. Although they were still in the Treasure Pavilion, their mind was already here.

Especially Elder Ye Hai, as the royal elder of Ziyun Kingdom, he has more things to consider!

At this time, a servant brought five jade bottles to the auction table on the first floor. Judging from the appearance, the first thing that came to mind was that these were five bottles of elixirs.

As expected, Luo Yan spoke.

"The 30th lot, as you can see, is a medicinal elixir. I believe that many of you are familiar with this medicinal elixir."

Speaking of this, Luo Yan aroused everyone's curiosity.

Then she said,

"More than half a year ago, this elixir was also auctioned in our Treasure Pavilion, and many people witnessed its power. This time, the alchemist behind this elixir has strengthened and improved it on the original basis. All cultivators below the Golden Core stage can use this elixir."

"This elixir is the Body Tempering Pill that many cultivators are eager to get! The starting price of the Body Tempering Pill is thirty thousand taels per bottle, and each bottle contains five pills. Guests who come to the Treasure Pavilion, start bidding!"

Because of the Body Tempering Pill, the second half of the auction at the Treasure Pavilion was pushed to its peak!
