Xiao Jinting handed a stone to Xu Muan carefully.

“It’s Fire Yang Jade Heart. Where did you get it?” asked Xu Muan.

“I bought it with a thousand top-grade spiritual stones,” Xiao Jinting said.

Xu Muan was confused. “Why did you buy it?”

“I’m thinking of carving the same pattern on this piece of jade as the one you have and taking it to the auction house. If your family sees it, maybe they will buy it. In this way, we can track them down,” Xiao Jinting said.

Xu Muan nodded, “Good idea!”

Xiao Jinting tapped lightly on the table. He vaguely felt that Xu Muan might be related to the Xu family of the Green Continent, but people would think they had ulterior motives if they went to the Xu family with the pendant. Therefore, he came up with the idea to test the Xu family.

Xiao Jinting went to his jade space and carved the jade according to the pattern of Xu Muan’s pendant. After he finished, he gave it to the auction house.

He was lucky. There would be a medium-sized auction very soon. Xiao Jinting concealed his identity and asked the auction house to sell the pendant. In return, he got a blank card of spiritual stones. After the pendant was sold, the spiritual stones would be transferred into the card without him showing up.

Xu Muan asked curiously, “What is the starting price of the pendant?”

“Three hundred top-grade spiritual stones,” When Xiao Jinting carved the jade, it was damaged a bit and its value was greatly reduced. The pattern of Xu Muan’s pendant was special. Even if it was carved into a pendant, its spiritual Qi was not reduced. Therefore, the starting price of his pendant should be eight hundred top-grade spiritual stones.

Xu Muan hesitated for a moment and said, “The value of the copy pendant is only 500 top-grade spiritual stones. Perhaps no one would take it.”

Xiao Jinting thought for a moment and said, “I don’t think so. If no one bids, I’ll take it myself.”

Xu Muan nodded and said, “Alright.”



It was auction day. Xiao Jinting was a Nascent Soul, so the auction house gave him a private room.

Soon after the auction started, the jade turned up.

Compared with the other items in the auction, the jade was not too precious. Therefore, most of the cultivators were not interested.

“This is a pendant carved from Fire Yang Jade Heart. Wearing this pendant for a long time is very beneficial for cultivators of fire. The starting price of the pendant is 300 top-grade spiritual stones.”

A short silence fell upon the room before someone offered, “Four hundred top-grade spiritual stones.”

Xiao Jinting paused and said, “It seems to be Xu Lingfeng.”

They met him before, so Xiao Jinting could easily recognize Xu Lingfeng’s voice.

“Four hundred and ten.”

“Five hundred.” After another cultivator bid, Xu Lingfeng said impatiently.

“Six hundred,” Xu Wan bid.

Xu Lingfeng bid, “Seven hundred.”

Xu Wan bid, “Eight hundred.”

Xu Lingfeng continued, “A thousand.”

As Xu Lingfeng and Xu Wan competed, the other cultivators got excited.

“What’s going on? After Xu Lingfeng made his bid, Xu Wan competed with him. Is this an internal strife?”

“Why do you care? The Xu family has so much money. They can do whatever they want. Anyway, they have money and they don’t care.”

“That’s true! The Xu family is good at refining magical weapons and it makes big money.”



Xu Wan and Xu Lingfeng competed and bid the price up to two thousand.

Another cultivator said with a clear voice, “Three thousand.”

His offer quieted the room down. Xu Lingfeng stopped bidding.

Xiao Jinting frowned and said, “The price has risen so quickly!”

Xu Muan frowned and said, “It’s unreasonable.”

Xu Wan bid, “Three thousand three hundred.”

Li Yi bid, “Four thousand.”

“Four thousand and two hundred.”

“Five thousand.”

Li Yi offered five thousand, and Xu Wan did not follow.



“What’s going on?” Xu Wan competed with his second uncle and aunt so aggressively.”

“What’s so special about this jade pendant?”

“Li Yi bid five thousand top-grade spiritual stones. I guess the pendant costs at most five hundred top-grade spiritual stones. Li Yi is out of his mind.”

“The Xu family is wealthy, so is the Li family. Rich guys can do whatever they want.”

“I guess the pendant is related to some kind of secret. The Xu family and Li family are shrewd and won’t suffer any losses.”

“The pendant might be the key to open some secret realm.”



In the inn.

Xiao Jinting toyed with the card of spiritual stones in his hand and said excitedly, “The spiritual stones have been transferred to the card.”

Xu Muan said with a complicated expression, “I didn’t expect a piece of Fire Yang Jade to be sold at such a high price.”

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “I didn’t expect Xu Wan to compete with Xu Lingfeng for the pendant. It seems that the Xu family is not united.”

“Yeah. Let’s pay Li Yi a visit in a few days,” Xu Muan said.

Xiao Jinting nodded and said, “Okay, I think so.”

Xu Muan lowered his head and said inwardly, “Li Yi and Xu Lingfeng are both interested in the jade. Maybe I’m related to these two people.”
