261: The threat of the Yellow Springs Saint Ancestor, dispel the curse!

This was a contest belonging to the Void Immortal Ancestors; ordinary Mahayana Cultivators didn't even have the right to interject.

The price soared all the way, quickly breaking through the eight billion mark.

Finally, after a fierce competition, the Void Immortal Ancestor of the Everlasting Gold Family, Jin Wugou, successfully took possession of this xuantian immortal slaying sword at the astronomical price of nine billion saint-grade spirit stones.

"Hahaha! A fine sword! Truly a fine sword!"

Jin Wugou stroked the sword's body, feeling the terrifying power contained within, and couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

With this sword, his "Indestructible Golden Body Technique" combined with this indestructible sharpness would make him both offensive and defensive—where in the world couldn't he go?

Little did he know that from the moment he refined this sword, he had already become a "fattened pig" raised by that Golden Immortal from the Upper Realm, just waiting to be slaughtered when plump enough.

Lu Yuan watched this scene with pity in his eyes, as if looking at a dead man.

With the final auction item sold, this earth-shaking Origin Auction House auction in the Void Immortal Realm finally came to a close.

Everyone gradually left, but each person's expression was different.

Heavenly Secret Master's face was as dark as water, glaring venomously at Lu Yuan's retreating figure.

If it weren't for Lu Yuan's interference, that life-generating fortune pill would have long been in his possession; why would he have to drag along a crippled body, barely clinging to life like this?

"Lu Yuan... you severed my Dao path. I swear I won't be human if I don't avenge this grudge!" Heavenly Secret Master made a venomous vow in his heart.

As for Zhang Yuan, the owner of the auction house, he also wore a constipated expression at this moment.

Although this auction had made him a huge profit, with over ten billion saint-grade spirit stones collected alone, compared to the "System rebate" he wanted, it was like picking up sesame seeds while losing a watermelon.

"Damn that Lu Yuan! Why is it always him ruining my plans?!" Zhang Yuan secretly hated it in his heart, yet could do nothing about it.

As for those Void Immortal old monsters, when leaving, their gazes intentionally or unintentionally swept over Lu Yuan.

Especially the Yellow Springs Saint Ancestor.

"Lu Yuan, a treasure like the incomplete map of kunxu is not something a mere Great Ascension Stage Cultivator like you can hold onto."

A cold Divine Sense transmission directly sounded in Lu Yuan's mind: "If you're sensible, hand over the fragment map to this old man. I can exchange it for other treasures or favors.

Otherwise... once you leave the Void Immortal Realm, bear the consequences yourself."

This was a blatant threat.

Lu Yuan paused his steps, turned to look at the Yellow Springs Saint Ancestor, and curled his lips into a mocking arc.

"Want it? Then see if you have the life to take it."

"Hmph! You don't know what's good for you!"

The Yellow Springs Saint Ancestor snorted coldly, flicked his sleeve, and left: "I hope your strength is as tough as your mouth."

Lu Yuan watched the departing figures of several Void Immortals, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He turned to the Yaochi Holy Mother beside him and said, "Holy Mother, let's go too. This place isn't safe to stay."

The Yaochi Holy Mother nodded with a grave expression.

She naturally also sensed the faint, lingering killing intent around.

Although her injuries weren't yet healed, having the world-cleansing glazed lamp in hand gave her much more confidence.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, don't worry. If they really dare to act, I'll make them pay the price even if it damages my Dao fruit!"

The two walked side by side, taking Gu Qingxue with them, and left the Origin Auction House.

Qingyun Dao Sect, Qingyun Peak Main Hall.

As soon as Lu Yuan and the Yaochi Holy Mother returned, they immediately set about dispelling the curse.

Deep in the main hall, layers of Restrictions were activated, isolating all prying eyes.

The Yaochi Holy Mother sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed. Even while healing, her noble and aloof aura as a Void Immortal powerhouse remained undiminished, but the lingering black energy between her brows revealed the viciousness of the seven arrows book of nailing heads curse.

"Holy Mother, my apologies."

Lu Yuan looked solemn, flipped his palm, and the "world-cleansing glazed lamp" he had just auctioned appeared in his hand.

"Hum!"

The glazed lamp trembled slightly. Its originally bronze-colored disguise had long been actively removed by Zhang Yuan during the auction, revealing a lamp body as clear as glazed glass, emitting the purest light aura in the world. Though not as miraculous as the advanced nine treasures glazed lamp, it was enough to counter most sinister curses in the world.

"Go."

Lu Yuan flicked his finger, and a strand of pure white "World Purifying Glazed Fire" leaped from the wick.

This flame was gentle and sacred, specifically purifying filth.

The flame transformed into a tiny fire dragon, drilling into the Yaochi Holy Mother's body along her Meridians.

"Hiss—"

The Yaochi Holy Mother's delicate body trembled slightly, her beautiful brows furrowed tightly.

The curse power was like a bone-deep maggot, already deeply rooted in her flesh, blood, and Primordial Spirit.

Now encountering the natural enemy-like World Purifying Glazed Fire, it frantically counterattacked. The two forces engaged in an intense tug-of-war within her body.

"Endure it a bit."

Lu Yuan shouted softly, increasing his mana output.

"Boom!"

The World Purifying Glazed Fire instantly surged, not only wreaking havoc inside but also bursting out of her body, enveloping the Yaochi Holy Mother entirely in a sea of fire.

Though this flame was gentle, with the support of Lu Yuan's Chaos Qi, its power doubled. The Dharma robe symbolizing the Holy Mother's dignity was ultimately just an ordinary object, unable to withstand this Law-level purification and burning.

"Rip—"

Accompanied by a faint sound of cloth tearing, that Dharma robe capable of withstanding Great Ascension Stage attacks instantly turned to ashes under the purification of the World Purifying Glazed Fire.

In an instant, a perfect, mutton-fat-jade-like body was completely exposed to the air.

Even amidst the swirling flames, her skin remained as white as snow, delicate as if it could be broken with a touch.

Her slender waist was as if it could be held in one hand, her long legs straight and rounded. The curves undulated, exuding a breathtaking beauty and sacredness.

Lu Yuan's gaze swept over, a flash of admiration in his eyes, but nothing more.

His eyes were clear as water, without a trace of lustful thoughts, as if this body that could drive countless Cultivators mad was merely a perfect work of art or a sick body needing treatment.

"Heart as clear as ice, unshaken even if the sky collapses."

Lu Yuan firmly guarded his mind and continued to activate the world-cleansing glazed lamp.

More flames poured in, precisely chasing every strand of cursed black energy.

The Yaochi Holy Mother's eyes, originally tightly closed from pain, suddenly snapped open.

Feeling the coolness on her body, she instinctively looked down, then her entire body stiffened.

"This..."

A touch of charming blush instantly spread from her neck to the roots of her ears. That always aloof and proud face now looked as delicate and radiant as a ripe apple.

She, the dignified Yaochi Holy Mother, a supreme powerhouse of the Void Immortal Realm, was actually... ashamed? Embarrassed? In front of a man?

Perhaps both. But when she saw Lu Yuan's focused and clear gaze, the shame and annoyance in her heart inexplicably dissipated somewhat. Instead, deep within, a strange ripple she had never felt before stirred.

"This rascal..." she sighed softly in her heart, simply closed her eyes, and let Lu Yuan proceed.

Half an hour later.

As the last strand of black energy was burned away by the World Purifying Glazed Fire, the vitality within the Yaochi Holy Mother's body revived, and her void immortal dao fruit became flawless and harmonious once again.
