AWB Chapter 149 He endured it desperately, never wailing in agony on the night of the full moon.
Chapter 149 He endured it desperately, never wailing in agony on the night of the full moon.
Zhong Lingxin walked forward slowly, glancing indifferently at the cultivators in the cages on both sides, neither saying she wanted them nor that she didn't.
Manager Xiao followed slowly behind her.
Most people who come to the slave market to choose slaves will first look around and then slowly select the suitable ones later.
He has a lot of experience in this area.
Zhong Lingxin carefully examined each of the spirit-locking cages. Although she knew the cultivation world was cruel, this was the first time she had witnessed human trafficking, and she was deeply shocked.
Several female cultivators, dressed in tattered clothes, even deliberately twisted their bodies when they saw someone coming to buy servants.
Zhong Lingxin saw pain, urgency, and sorrow on the faces of these female cultivators.
She turned her head away, unable to bear watching any longer.
She couldn't help the clarity she wanted to see in these female cultivators' eyes.
She walked forward again, her eyes scanning the spirit-locking cages on both sides.
Behind her, several monks muttered curses under their breath.
Manager Xiao unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, knocking the low-level cultivator to the ground.
All the monks fell silent.
In a spirit-locking cage to the left front, a female cultivator did not rush to the cage to wave. Instead, she hugged her knees, curled up, and tried to cover her private parts as much as possible.
Her face was calm, almost wooden.
But Zhong Lingxin took a liking to her at first sight. Although her body was curled up, her noble temperament was still immediately apparent. And her eyes held hatred and hope, but no greed.
Seeing that Zhong Lingxin had stopped by the spirit-locking cage, Manager Xiao hurriedly introduced her: "That female cultivator is named Huo Jun. Her family was wiped out, and she was sold to a pleasure house."
But she was truly fierce; she took a lot of aphrodisiacs and stubbornly tried to kill herself.
The courtesan at the brothel admired her fierce spirit and was willing to spare her life; whether she lived or died was her fate.
Zhong Lingxin nodded. She had heard about the Huo family tragedy, which was said to have wiped out the entire clan of over 7,000 people in one night.
I never expected to see the former eldest daughter of the Huo family here.
She took out a piece of clothing and said to Manager Xiao, "I'll buy it."
Upon hearing this, Manager Xiao hurriedly took the clothes, called over several of his men, and released Huo Jun.
Huo Jun finished dressing, walked up to Zhong Lingxin, gave her a proper bow, and stood silently to the side.
Zhong Lingxin smiled and continued walking forward.
In the nearby Soul Locking Cage, seeing Zhong Lingxin buy Huo Jun, he hurriedly imitated Huo Jun's behavior.
Zhong Lingxin ignored them and continued walking forward.
When they reached the third row of spirit-locking cages, Zhong Lingxin pointed to a male cultivator being held in solitary confinement and said, "I'll buy him."
Upon hearing this, Manager Xiao glanced at Uncle Leng with a troubled expression.
Uncle Leng Qi hurriedly stepped forward, examined him for a while, and said tactfully, "This... has a rather volatile temper. He once killed eighteen cultivators in one night, and his methods were extremely cruel. Moreover, he has already reached the Nascent Soul stage, so it's not easy for you, Miss Zhong, to form a contract with him."
The male cultivator in the cage gave Zhong Lingxin a cold look, and the cold light in his eyes angered Steward Xiao so much that he used a burst of spiritual power to knock Zhong Lingxin to the ground and roll several times.
Zhong Lingxin stood in front of the Soul-Locking Cage and waited until the male cultivator lay on the ground panting weakly before slowly saying, "Only by following me will you have a way to live and be able to do what you want to do."
The male cultivator looked at Zhong Lingxin mockingly: "You!"
Zhong Lingxin said calmly, "Yes, because of me."
The male cultivator clenched his fists and growled, "You think you can do what I want? You can't even see how badly I've been crippled! I want to follow you and do whatever I want! I want to kill people, I want to kill everyone on the Immortal Spirit Continent! Can you do it?"
Zhong Lingxin smiled slightly: "If you slaughtered everyone in the Immortal Spirit Continent, could your heart be at peace?"
The male cultivator burst into wild laughter: "Quiet! What makes you think you can tell me to be quiet!"
Zhong Lingxin laughed out loud: "Just because I can heal your dantian and prevent your spiritual energy from flowing backward every full moon night."
The male cultivator's maniacal laughter abruptly stopped.
Since being betrayed by his enemy, he has endured the torment of reversed spiritual energy every month. From a high-ranking young master, he went mad overnight, and was finally sold into slavery by his enemy in the most humiliating way. His cultivation level also plummeted from the Mahayana stage to the current Nascent Soul stage.
He wanted revenge, but he was no match for his enemy. He could only watch helplessly as his enemy took over his position and enjoyed the family business he had worked so hard to build.
Furthermore, his enemies would often come to witness his suffering on the night of the full moon.
Therefore, he endured it with all his might and never wailed in pain on the night of the full moon.
Unexpectedly, this young female cultivator, who was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, could see the problem with his dantian at a glance.
Actually, it wasn't that Zhong Lingxin noticed his problem, but rather that when Qingyang Venerable Saint was chatting with her about anecdotes from the Immortal Spirit Continent, he mentioned this male cultivator named Chen Xingyi. His words were filled with regret.
Chen Xingyi was the eldest son of a merchant family and perfectly inherited the family's business acumen.
Although the Chen family has an old patriarch in charge, he has always been the one who makes the final decisions.
Under his leadership, the Chen family, after hundreds of years of hard work, left the small town and ventured into the wider Immortal Spirit Continent. They not only opened shops all over the Immortal Spirit Continent, but also operated the largest auction house on the Immortal Spirit Continent, the "Lingbao Auction House".
But whether it was because he felt resentful about losing power or simply because he was bored, the head of the Chen family took several concubines in succession.
One of his concubines was his favorite and bore him two sons and a daughter, named Chen Guibao, Chen Guiyu, and Chen Jiaojiao respectively.
Just from these names, one can see the status of the two sons and one daughter in the heart of the Chen family head.
All three, Chen Guibao, Chen Guiyu, and Chen Jiaojiao, are extremely capable. Both have dual spiritual roots and have entered the Lingyun Sect. With the accumulation of family resources, Chen Guibao has also successfully reached the Nascent Soul stage and has shown exceptional business acumen.
Chen Guibao and his two companions usually behaved very well, and Chen Xingyi was also busy building the Chen family's business empire outside, so he didn't notice anything unusual about Chen's father and the three of them.
Until one day, when the Lingbao Auction House was auctioning a ninth-grade spiritual treasure, Chen Xingyi was caught off guard and fell into Chen Guibao's trap.
What happened next was cliché and melodramatic.
Chen Xingyi went berserk and indiscriminately slashed and killed many people.
Left with no other option, the Chen family stripped Chen Xingyi of his status as the young patriarch and imprisoned him.
Not long after, Chen Xingyi's mother and sister had an accident.
Chen Xingyi went berserk again, killing many people before fleeing, and killing many more people during his escape.
Later, news of Chen Xingyi gradually disappeared from the Immortal Spirit Continent.
At that time, Zhong Lingxin was saying that she wanted to build her own business empire.
Qingyang Zunsheng lamented that such a business genius had fallen into someone else's trap, damaged his dantian, and failed to receive timely treatment, which led to his tragic end.
