blood contract

Thinking of Dongfang Gongjun and Dongfang Xiu's superiority and arrogance, Lingling could understand. On the other hand, Dongfang Rouyin is indeed a strange flower among them.

Dongfang Rouyin showed Lingling her many collections. Afterwards, she had a great time playing hydrangea and swinging. She also ate snacks and chatted in the pavilion, which was very comfortable.

After that, he took Lingling to the high ground with the best scenery in the palace to fly kites.

Ever since she was "kicked out" by Brother Ye, Dongfang Rouyin could not sleep at night thinking about how to make Lingling become her royal sister-in-law.

If he can't get married to Lingling, then why not let her become the emperor's sister-in-law. The wealth will not go to outsiders, and she can see her whenever she wants. Thinking about it, she feels that such a thing is not too wonderful.

Anyone who is forced to marry a woman he has never met will feel disgusted. The most important thing to solve the problem now is to create opportunities for Lingling and Brother Ye to meet... By then, if you come and I will, we will definitely meet Give birth to feelings.

According to her gossip, Brother Ye will go to Shouning Palace to pay his respects to his mother today after going to court, and will pass by this area later. At that time, he will be lured here with a paper kite, and then Lingling will be introduced to Brother Ye...

Hahaha! All my little plans are well arranged. Now the only thing left is for the male protagonist to appear!

"Ling, I'm coming, I'm coming. You can also let my kite fly." As she said this, Dongfang Rouyin took the paper kite winch from Lingling's hand and pulled the flying line from time to time.

Lingling smiled and put Dongfang Rouyin's rabbit kite on the ground and it also rose into the sky. A butterfly and a rabbit competed with each other, spreading their wings in the wind and soaring in the blue sky. It was really beautiful.

With a 'pop', the string of the 'butterfly' paper kite in Dongfang Rouyin's hand broke, and she exclaimed: "Ling, help me get it back quickly."

"It's just a paper kite that flew away. Why did you pick it up? Just play with it." Lingling didn't care that the 'butterfly' paper kite flew away and handed over the 'rabbit' paper kite in her hand.

Seeing the reluctance on Dongfang Rouyin's face, Lingling reluctantly stood up and jumped up to chase after her. He stretched out his hand and threw a thin thread to stick to the paper kite and pulled it back.

"..." Dongfang Rouyin was dumbfounded and bit her silver teeth into pieces. Why was it different from what she had arranged?

Okay, this plan doesn’t work, this princess has another trick!

When she returned to her palace, she deliberately walked to Jingyi Palace, but Brother Ye didn't meet her. She took the initiative to borrow something, but she still didn't see her. She admired the flowers in the back garden, but she still didn't meet him...

Damn it, where did Brother Ye go? Is her gossip inaccurate?

Dongfang Rouyin's face turned green with anger. She guessed that Brother Ye had seen through her trick and deliberately avoided it.

And Lingling also felt that Dongfang Rouyin was hiding something from her, as if she was planning something.

She asked directly: "You want to hide something from me?"

"No." Rouyin replied quickly and simply.

She had already responded to what happened next and looked calm.

"..." Seeing that she didn't want to say anything, Lingling couldn't force her, so she said leisurely, "I still have something to do. Let's take a step first and watch the moon until next time."

"No." Dongfang Rouyin heard this and dragged Lingling. Seeing her questioning look, she could only make up a reason and hurriedly explained: "I, I want to take you to see my mother and concubine."

"Queen?" Lingling was even more confused about what Dongfang Rouyin wanted to do?

"Oh, it's not the Empress. My mother is Concubine Ke. Since she gave birth to me, she has been very weak and cannot raise me personally, so she gave me to the Empress to raise me. Although she cannot raise me with her own hands, Concubine Concubine can't raise me with her own hands. She also loves me very much, you are my good friend, so I want to take you to meet her."

Lingling scratched his face, not knowing why, "Just go, why are you taking me around here and there?"

Yes, it’s really not easy to deceive her. The only way is to use my ultimate trick!

Dongfang Rouyin's coquettish mode is on, "You don't like the Imperial City to begin with. I'm afraid you won't have a good time, so I'm delaying the time on purpose. I want you to stay with me for one night, Ling..."

With a greasy voice, Lingling shivered and said, "Then let's go now. Those things are really boring to play with for a long time."

"Okay." Dongfang Rouyin responded. He hugged Lingling's arms and headed towards Xianqing Palace.

Concubine Ke was frail and sickly, but she was a gentle, graceful, open-minded and dignified woman. When she saw her beloved daughter visiting with her friends, she smiled with joy and even walked out of the house for a long time.

After some caring words, Concubine Ke was out of breath and exhausted and went back to the house to lie down and rest.

Dongfang Rouyin looked at her mother-in-law with a frown on her face, and suddenly asked Xiang Lingling if there was any medicine that could cure her mother-in-law's illness.

There are countless spiritual doctors in the imperial capital. It's not that the spiritual doctors are useless, but that Concubine Ke's condition is really serious. Her roots were damaged during childbirth, and her muscles and veins were also damaged a lot.

Injuries to the muscles and veins are the most difficult to treat, Lingling is an example, but she is a cultivator of immortality, while Concubine Ke is actually an ordinary mortal. Not being nourished by various elixirs, he is already a person on the other side.

Lingling took her pulse, and after careful consideration, she took out one of the pills she had taken, and solemnly said: "Your mother's illness is similar to mine, so my medicine can be given to her, but this time The medicine is very special, it’s okay for me to take it, but she must take a small amount, otherwise she will die if she takes too much.”

This medicine is indeed very special. It is a healing medicine that Lingling refined for himself, with purple phthalide and his own blood added to it.

Her blood contained the essence and blood that was given to a single woman and two people. Even a monk could not bear it, let alone a mere mortal.

Hearing this, Dongfang Rouyin and Nanny Qin beside her were shocked.

Nanny Qin shook her head and advised: "Princess, this is absolutely impossible."

Dongfang Rouyin shuddered and looked shocked, repeating Lingling's words, "Eating too much will lead to death?"

"Yes." Lingling nodded seriously.

Finally, he picked up an elixir and rubbed it on his hands. The elixir was divided into several small elixirs the size of yellow rice grains.

With a serious expression, he continued: "Take one pill every seven days. The first few times you take it, you may feel unbearable pain all over your body, and then it will get better. After taking it, go to Ye's Medicine Store and take the elixir called 'Zichengdan' to nourish your body." Just use your body.”

Seeing Dongfang Rouyin's doubts, Lingling put the medicine pills in his hand into a bottle, handed it to Dongfang Rouyin, and said: "I'll leave the medicine for you, discuss it carefully with your mother, if you don't need to return it to me. "

She patted Dongfang Rouyin's hand, smiled and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first."

After saying this, Lingling stood up and left the house, leaving Xianqing Palace.

Now Dongfang Rouyin has completely forgotten her little plan and is focused on the condition of her mother and concubine.

For so many years, my mother has been suffering from ailments with no cure. Now that she has hope, she doesn't want to give up.

Seeing Princess Minxi holding on to the medicine bottle, Nanny Qin was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot to see if she wanted to let Concubine Ke try it. I’m giving the medicine to the queen.

"Princess, my wife is already weak, how can she withstand such a powerful medicine? What if, if anything bad happens, how will we explain to your majesty? You must not let your Majesty take it."

"..." Dongfang Rouyin frowned slightly. Others didn't believe Lingling, but she believed that the only thing she was worried about was her mother's physical strength.

... ...

In the following days, Dongfang Rouyin and Lingling were busy on their own.

Lingling conducted secret interviews on the people named 'Ren Hongge' in Blackwater Ice City one by one, but none of them matched.

"It's not this person either." He picked up the pen and erased the last person on the list.

He pinched his eyebrows, leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

The shopkeeper's voice came from outside the house, "Young Master."

"Come in." Lingling opened her eyes and sat upright.

The door opened and closed, and a slightly fat, middle-aged man with a kind face came in. He walked up to Lingling and handed over a jade plaque and the list, "Young Master, here are the admission tickets and the list of items for tonight's auction."

Lingling responded, took the list, opened it and glanced at it, his eyes suddenly stopped on the names of the two items 'Light of the Lighthouse' and 'Heart Candle'.

After thinking for a moment, he smiled knowingly and said, "Shopkeeper Xin, prepare more spiritual crystals tonight."

"Yes. Does the young master have any other needs or requirements?"

"...Do you have any dried fish?"

"Nature is ready."

Lingling nodded, "That's nothing else."

"Yes. I'm resigning." After saying that, Shopkeeper Xin bowed out respectfully.

... ...

Lingling had to describe the auction house in the imperial capital as 'magnificent and majestic'.

This place occupies a large area, has a large venue, and has a large space. Everything is big. The decoration is luxurious, the layout is luxurious, the objects are expensive, and everything you see is expensive.

On the top of the sapphire gate hangs a golden nanmu plaque with the words "Green Guangyuan" on it.

The venue was jointly built by three chambers of commerce: Luyuan Chamber of Commerce, Fuguang Chamber of Commerce and Purple Plains Chamber of Commerce. The name is the combination of the names of the three chambers of commerce.

The carpet from the door to the hall is woven from a piece of hardware silk. Under the candlelight, it glows with golden light, which is very dreamy; at the end is a fountain, with spiritual springs gushing out, filling the entire hall with spiritual energy.

This fountain should be built on the eye of a spiritual spring. With this spiritual spring, others usually use it for their own family members to practice, but they actually regard it as a decoration. Judging from this handwriting alone, it can't be described as arrogant, but in fact extremely extravagant. Other gold, silver and jade decorations are no longer eye-catching.

There are tens of thousands of seats and hundreds of elegant rooms inside. There is a small display screen in the individual seats and private rooms. This screen can be used to bid and check the prices and styles of the items that have been photographed. Each private room is also isolated and screened with magic to ensure the absolute privacy of the guests.

The large central display screen ensures that every guest in the museum can better view every item on the stage.

Ding Ding Ding!

As the bell rang, an elegant and capable young man came on stage.

With a magnetic voice, he introduced eloquently: "Thank you for participating in today's auction. Today is hosted by Huang Wen. The bid is in spiritual crystals. If the spiritual crystals are not enough, you can use items as collateral. As for the value of the items in exchange, The estimate will be determined by three elders from Luyuan Chamber of Commerce, Fuguang Chamber of Commerce, and Purple Plains Chamber of Commerce. False bidding and random bidding are strictly prohibited in this auction. Once discovered, they will be severely punished. If you have any doubts or dissatisfaction, you can submit it to the three chambers of commerce. Apply. Next...the auction officially begins. Please bring out the first lot...Dark Cloud Seizes the Gun."

……

Lingling leisurely watched the items being auctioned one by one in the private room.

Finished shooting the weapons category, moving on to the cheats category. One of the books called "The Alchemy Wheel" was bought by Lingling for one million spiritual crystals.

In the category of elixirs, Ye's new product 'Zicheng Dan' healing and nourishing elixir was immediately sold for six thousand spiritual crystals each.

In the category of strange objects, it’s time to reach the ‘Light of the Lighthouse’ that Lingling is interested in.

As soon as this object came on stage, everyone sighed. It was like an old lantern hanging in a manger. It was dark, with dents and damage, and there was nothing special about it.

Lingling couldn't help but frown. The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The name sounds nice, but I really can’t compliment it in person.

Huang Wen introduced: "This object was found in an ancient tomb. There are inscriptions on the bottom of the lamp and strange words on the lampstand. According to authoritative sources, it is translated as 'Light of the Lighthouse'..."

When she saw the text, Lingling showed a look of surprise. In ancient Taichu text, it said "The Glory of the Lighthouse". It was just one word different, but the meaning was completely different.

Huang Wen continued to introduce: "After this lamp is lit, it will be as bright as day, and the other parts are still unknown. Those who take pictures of this object need to be careful. The starting price is 200,000 spiritual crystals." With that, he raised his hand and the venue suddenly fell into darkness. When he lit the lantern in his hand, the whole venue was as bright as day.

Everyone let out bursts of exclamation. But if it is only used for lighting, it seems that spending this money is a bit unfair and not worth it.

"Two hundred thousand spiritual crystals." Lingling took the shot.

She vowed to take a picture of it.

Because when the lamp was lit, the 'water chart' she got from Xianju Mountain resonated with it.

Sure enough, you can’t just take everything at face value!

"Three hundred thousand." Someone bid.

Lingling: "Four hundred thousand."

"Half a million."

……

As the price soared, Lingling began to wonder why this person wanted to take a picture of this thing. Could it be that this person knew the true purpose of this lantern?

Although she is the young master of Luyuan Pavilion, she must abide by the rules of the auction and is not allowed to inquire about the identity of the guests.

"Ten million." Lingling.

As soon as the price came out, there was a burst of exclamations and whispers in the venue: Is such an old lantern really a treasure?

"..." The man in a black robe and cloak in another private room stopped bidding with his finger on the developing screen.

"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for bidding on the 'Light of the Lighthouse' for 10 million spiritual crystals... The next auction item is the 'Heart Candle', hence the name. The Heart Candle is a candle made from the heart of the underworld. This object is of great help to monks who practice illusion, and the starting price is five million spiritual crystals."

"Five and a half million."

"Six million."

……

There are many competitors for this product, and the price continues to rise.

"Girl, you will definitely take a picture of this thing. It will be of great help to Omda's cultivation." At this time, the message from Ruiji was sent to Lingling.

"Oh. Really?" Lingling was very interested.

"Ling, Ling, I also think this food tastes delicious. I want it, I want it..." Omda exclaimed in a milky voice.

"Baby, this is not food... Oh, why are you beating me again... Stop you naughty kid..."

"I said you can eat it if you can, what nonsense..."

Omda was riding on Suanji, and his small fleshy hands like lotus joints kept twisting the two beards of Suanji, causing Suanji to scream in pain.

Lingling chuckled and said: "Then we will buy it." After that, the price was "twelve million."

As soon as the price was announced, the venue fell silent.

Who is so prodigal?

It’s completely beyond the value of the item itself.
