Discord: mented while looking at the charred mushroom.

Kacha! Crack! Boom!

But, many thick roots suddenly emerged and covered the entire area, which caused Bai Xue's eyes to widen because that attack should have killed this spirit beast.

Bai Xue closed her eyes to gain her focus and was about to prepare for another attack. However, a familiar hand suddenly grasped her hand.

"Calm down..." Yunlong's soothing voice entered Bai Xue's ears, and she hurriedly opened her eyes.

"Y-Young master..?!" Bai Xue was shocked for a moment and then realized the situation they were in right now.

Yunlong patted her head gently and casually looked at the roots with an amused look on his face. "You didn't kill the main body. That's why it was still alive." He commented.

"The main body?" Bai Xue tilted her head in confusion.

"Mm," Yunlong nodded his head and casually stomped his leg to the ground, causing a slight tremor in the area.

Bam!

A white spearhead made of a strand of Yunlong's handkerchief burst out of the ground with a pierced green gem, which immediately released a black spirit ring.

"10,000 years old spirit beast..." Bai Xue covered her mouth in surprise.

[You have killed a thousand hearts mushroom]

[Mortal Sin: Gluttony activated]

[You have devoured a thousand hearts mushroom's soul and spiritual energy]

[You have gained additional passive skill, Fake Death]

Yunlong's eyes shone a little with crimson light, and hunger in his stomach immediately disappeared. 'Not bad...' He thought.

"Young master, that gem." Bai Xue suddenly said while pointing her finger at the pierced green gem.

Yunlong swung his hand a little, and the spearhead flicked the gem toward them, which Bai Xue caught her hands.

'The last ingredient, emerald heart.' Bai Xue looked at the green gem in her hand with brightened eyes.

'If I had this, my perfect pill...' She quietly continued with a flaming desire.

However, remembering the fact that Yunlong killed it and not her, Bai Xue becomes hesitant.

"You can have it." Yunlong suddenly said with a smile on his face.

"R-Really!" Bai Xue responded with a surprised expression, but Yunlong only chuckled and shook his head a little.

"Mm, I don't have any use of it, and you have been perfecting your pill, so this gem is important, right?" Yunlong answered while taking Bai Xue's hand and slightly firmed her hold onto the green gem.

"Yes..." Bai Xue smiled beautifully.

"Well, let's go back. We are about to attend the auction." Yunlong calmly stated while patting Bai Xue's head, and she eagerly nodded her head.

They went back and prepared to go, which took roughly about an hour because Yunlong prepared another disguise for himself.

Yunlong wore a casual loose white robe and glasses, which changed his eye color to blue because of the illusion.

The usual calm aura around him has wholly changed and become more humble, or more precisely composed like an educated scholar.

'I want to see my big sister's surprised face.' Yunlong naturally thought while looking at the mirror in front of him.

'I bet she would be shocked.' He smirked a little.

Yunlong walked toward the first floor and saw his maids wore veils to cover their faces.

"Let's go to the auction." Yunlong gently smiled.
