Super Rich Fantasy: I Grow Stronger By Spending Money

Zhou Zhentian was extremely respectful as he asked, “May I ask what brings you here, Elder Mo?”

“I want to know who was the one who took out the soul-returning pill.”

Zhou Zhentian immediately revealed a difficult expression and replied, “This…”

He said cautiously, “You should know the rules of our auction house. We can’t reveal our guests’ information to the outside world.”

The person standing in front of Zhou Zhentian was the grand elder of the Sword Sect. If he said that he was in a bad mood, it was possible that he could split the auction house into two with a single sword strike.

Although the auction house wasn’t afraid of trouble, they didn’t want to get into trouble.

“I know that you have to keep the guests’ information confidential, but isn’t it directed at the people who are auctioning for the items? I just want to ask you who put this pill up for auction. Is that not allowed?”

Twenty soul-returning pills could only heal one-third of his injuries, and he had forcefully suppressed the majority of them.

Mo Jianming’s injuries were serious. Most importantly, if they weren’t treated quickly, his wounds would worsen again. This was also the reason why he had come to the Jingdu auction house.

Zhou Zhentian did not want to offend him, so he directly stated the reason, “Elder Mo, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but the person who sold this pill is the one who won the auction for the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram.”

Mo Jianming finally understood why Zhou Zhentian hesitated.

“I’ve also heard about it on the way here, but I’m not interested in the matter of the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram.”

Although the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram contained the secret to becoming immortal, it was a long time ago and there was no way to know whether it was real or not. Moreover, it was an incomplete part. If it was really a good thing, why would the people in the Jingdu auction house put it up for auction?

And the most important point was that none of the previous owners of the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram had a good ending. They either vanished suddenly or disappeared from the world. Very few people knew this secret.

No one knew what had happened to them. However, there was no relevant evidence to prove that it was related to the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram.

“I hope you can be understanding about this, Elder Mo. If I really tell you, I’m afraid I won’t be able to account for it.”

Seeing that he couldn’t get anything out of Zhou Zhentian, Mo Jianming could only leave in disappointment.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t thought of using force to pressure them, but he had heard that the power behind the Jingdu auction house was almost on par with the seven great sects, and could even be on par with them.

Moreover, he was currently injured. If he were to use force, it would not be a wise move.

“If Elder Mo is in urgent need of these medicinal pills, maybe I can provide the list of sects that bid for these medicinal pills?” Zhou Zhentian suggested.

“No need.”

Mo Jianming didn’t even need to think to know that it was the seven great sects who had won the auction for the medicinal pill. If they had obtained it, they would definitely not take it out so easily. Instead, they would discover that something was wrong with him.

The fewer people who knew that he had yet to recover from his serious injuries, the better.

“Steward Zhou, please pretend that I never came here today.”

“Don’t worry, Elder Mo,” Zhou Zhentian nodded in response.

After he sent Mo Jianming off, Zhou Zhentian looked towards the door tiredly. He mumbled, “There shouldn’t be anyone coming anymore, right?”

Mo Jianming was not the first person to look for Zhou Zhentian in private, and he would not be the last. The people of the seven great sects were determined to get the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. Even if they could not get any useful information from him, they would not give up.

Zhou Zhentian ordered to hang up a sign that said ‘business was currently closed’, then turned around and went to the fifth floor.

This could be said to be the most mysterious place in the Jingdu auction house. Moreover, it was not open to outsiders, so there were very few people who had the qualifications to go upstairs.

He went to the innermost room and slowly pushed open the door. The light here was very dark, and he couldn’t even see his fingers in front of him. It was as if he had come to an alternate dimension.

Zhou Zhentian’s figure was instantly swallowed by the darkness. In the blink of an eye, the door returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.

A small firefly floated over and stopped on Zhou Zhentian’s shoulder. Under the guidance of the firefly, he slowly advanced. The deeper he went, the more fireflies there were.

Finally, Zhou Zhentian knelt on the ground and spoke respectfully, “Master, the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram has been auctioned off.”

In the center of the fireflies, there was the outline of a human figure, but the face could not be seen clearly, as if it was just a shadow of a human figure.

“Is it one of the people from the seven great sects?”

Zhou Zhentian shook his head and replied, “Neither. It’s a cultivator of unknown origin. He’s only at human rank level 2. He won the bid with 800,000 supreme-grade spirit stones.”

The black shadow was stunned for a moment before saying, “This is getting more and more interesting… human rank level 2 cultivator of unknown origins. It seems that he is quite bold…”

“I’ve never seen this person before either. It’s as if he appeared out of thin air. I’ve already contacted the treasure house and they also don’t know anything about his background. However, he’s very generous.”

“Do we need to go and investigate?” asked Zhou Zhentian.

“No need. This won’t affect our plan.”

“But I’m afraid those people from the seven great sects won’t give up so easily. After the auction ended, many people came to look for me,” Zhou Zhentian said after a moment of hesitation.

“I’m worried that if they can’t find that man, they’ll come to us for trouble. Even if it’s us, we can only deal with it for a while. If they really use force, I’m afraid we…”

Before Zhou Zhentian could finish his sentence, the black shadow understood what he meant. The black shadow said, “You don’t have to worry about this. I have my own ways.”

Although they were not afraid of the seven great sects, if these people joined forces to put pressure on them, the situation would be very disadvantageous to them.

The black shadow’s voice was extremely low, making people shiver. The black shadow said, “The sect returning ceremony is about to begin. I’m afraid they don’t have the time. Even if they want to find it, they won’t be able to.”

“What do you mean, Master?”

The black shadow seemed to have thought of something funny and suddenly laughed out loud. The black shadow said, “Even if the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram is incomplete, it can’t stop these people’s desire to become immortals. Let them be, these people from the seven great sects won’t give up.”

“The game has already started. Let me make this water even muddier. I’d like to see how the people from the seven great sects will deal with this.”

His voice was like a ghost as if it had drifted out from the depths of hell. Even Zhou Zhentian could not help but have goosebumps all over his body when he heard it.
