[Extraction failed]

‘Failed?’ Qin Yi was confused.

‘What does the system mean by ‘failed’?’

Qin Yi casts aside his confusion as he receives all the items from Liu Yi’s hands.

The first he inspects is none other than the Mysterious Stone, which was notified as ‘failed’ by the system.

He picks up the stone and sees what’s going on with this thing.

Only two things can make the system fail to extract: the targets are out of range of extraction, or their cultivation bases are higher…

Wait… higher cultivation base?

This… this thing is alive?!

Qin Yi was shocked that he almost threw the mysterious stone in his hand.

Apparently, his little panic reaction catches Lu Qin’s eyes.

“What’s wrong, Mr. Collector? Do you know this mysterious stone?”

Lu Qin’s question rendered Qin Yi in silence. He has no obligation to answer the opposite party’s question.

Qin Yi vigilantly embraced the stone as he looked at Lu Qin and said, “You don’t want to take it back, right?”

Lu Qin was stunned. Then he hurriedly shook his hands and said, “No, no, this servant is just curious. It’s alright if Mr. Collector doesn’t want to divulge the secret.”

Qin Yi relaxed and said, “You speak as if I managed to uncover this mysterious stone. Unfortunately, no. I only suspect whether it is an inanimate object or a living thing…”

Then, he looked at Lu Qin with a smile and added, “If your Black Water Auction House wants to take it back and research it again, please call me and exchange it with something equivalent.”

“Oh, Mr. Collector, I think you misunderstood. We don’t take back what we’ve sold unless the buyers want to.” Lu Qin hurriedly explained.

Mr. Collector is currently their top customer; they cannot lose this golden goose just because of a little misunderstanding.

“What a shame…” Qin Yi shrugged his shoulders and suddenly said, “Manager Lu, I knew your auction house must have a lot of good things. I can exchange my medicines with your items. However, for a kind reminder, I like rare things!”

“Thank you for your offer. We will definitely remember that, Mr. Collector.” Lu Qin said respectfully.

“Speaking of your medicines, many guests are trying to find out about your identity, including VIP guests. They probably want the medicines you brew. Would you mind letting them know about that?”

“My medicines don’t come from free, neither they are easy to make. I can only make one medicine with a 100% purity level once a month. Also, I don’t exchange them for money but rare items with the equivalent value. I’ll reveal the further information later~.”

Qin Yi had just arrived at Black Water City. Thus, he couldn’t think of any suitable location as a trading place.

He will consider it once he gets out of here.

Qin Yi looked at Lu Qin and asked, “How do we leave?”

“Mr. Collector, we have provided a special passage for every room guest… You, lead the guests out.” Lu Qin looked at Liu Yi and instructed.

“Yes.” Liu Yi hurriedly nodded.

“Wait!” Qin Yi suddenly said while putting on the Faceless Mask he had just bought.

“How is it?” He happily asked Yin Chen and the others for opinions.

“It’s wonderful, Master. The mask is excellent, and you become more handsome!” Yin Chen clapped and gave praise.

Liu Yi, “…”

Lu Qin, “…”

Something is wrong with this master and subordinate.

Also, could the master at least remove the hood covering his head?

“That’s good. I was worried that this mask couldn’t catch up with my handsome face, but I think I’m overthinking.” Qin Yi is in a good mood.

He looked at Liu Yi and said, “Let’s go!”

Liu Yi nodded, and then he led Qin Yi and Yin Chen out of the room and turned into the hidden passage at the side of the room.

As for Lu Qin, his eyes flashed, then he gritted his teeth, seeming to have made a difficult decision.

In next to no time, he left room number 7 and walked into the hallway.

Suddenly, a handsome young man approached Lu Qin, and behind the middle-aged man, another two old men followed.

The young man’s cold voice sounded out when he saw Lu Qin come out. “Manager Lu, have you considered it? I only want that mysterious stone. The other things are yours. That person can pay nearly 500 middle-grade spirit stones, so he is obviously someone that doesn’t lack money.”

The corners of Lu Qin’s mouth twitched when he heard this.

That Mr. Collector naturally doesn’t lack money.

Not to mention the wealth in his possession, even just the money that the medicines with a purity of 100% sold for were already 18,000 middle-grade spirit stones.

As far as he was concerned, Mr. Collector’s wealth should surpass 20,000 middle-grade spirit stones!

Noticing Lu Qin being slightly hesitant, the cold young man continued. “If Manager Lu doesn’t feel at ease, you may follow behind us… Once we kill them, Manager Lu can directly appear, and you won’t have to do anything to obtain that person’s wealth.”

“Manager Lu, when you let an opportunity slip by, it may never come back… We only want you to provide the information and location we want.” The young man deeply at Lu Qin. “I hope Manager Lu can quickly come to a decision; otherwise, once they’ve left, it will be too late.”

Needless to say, every sentence the young man uttered smashed against Lu Qin’s restless heart that wanted to agree.

However, he is Black Water House Auction House’s employee, and Black Water House Auction House always holds the reputation of being trustworthy.

If Black Water City Lord found out that he broke that principle, he would surely be dead.

“My apologies, Nether Son. I can’t betray my customer.” Lu Qin shakes his head at Nether Son.

The young man in front of Lu Qin is a disciple of the Underworld Sect and the core one.

However, although his background is terrifying, his only a core disciple. Underworld Sect has many core disciples, and Nether Son is just one of them. That means offending one doesn’t offend the entire Underworld Sect.

Nether Son’s cold expression turn colder. He doesn’t like refusal, particularly from someone who doesn’t know their place.

“Manager Lu… I hope you don’t regret your decision.” Nether Son left after saying that.

Although Nether Son left with a light tone, however, Lu Qin could sense the threat from the sentence, making his face not look good.

Outside the Black Water Auction House.

Qin Yi and Yin Chen walked out in large strides, then he looked at their surroundings and noticed that they were in a remote alley devoid of people.

“This Black Water Auction House is rather thoughtful. Leaving from this passage will allow us to avoid the coveting of others completely.” Yin Chen looked at the surroundings and evaluated them.

Qin Yi nodded, then walked out in large strides. “Let’s go back to the inn. We’ll find a house for us to stay tomorrow.”

However, he’d only taken a few steps when Qin Yi became vigilant and stopped his footsteps.

Meanwhile, Yin Chen, who was behind Qin Yi, stopped as well and turned around.

“Who are you two?!” Along with Yin Chen’s surprised shout, Qin Yi also turned around.

With a glance, he saw the two nearby people.

A beautiful young woman, behind her is a dignified middle-aged man in green clothes with an extraordinary bearing and an oppressive feeling.

‘A Late Stage of Foundation Establishment and… Core Formation?’ Relying on his formidable Divine Sense, Qin Yi could perceive the young woman’s cultivation base at the first possible moment.

He also could roughly perceive the middle-aged man’s cultivation base through his experience meeting Core Formations.

Qin Yi’s gaze descended on the two people, and he asked, in a casual voice, “Who are you two might be?”

The young woman clasped her fists and intruded herself, “Below is Shen Ruxue from Medicine Valley. The person behind me is Uncle Hu.”
