Chapter 664 Forcibly Reclaimed 2
Yun Xi did not retract her imposing aura. Since she had already used her power to intimidate others, she had to achieve her goal. Otherwise, if she released Manager Liu, he would send people to deal with her, and all her efforts would be in vain. So she continued to leisurely stroke Li Li's head and said with a smile:

"Manager Liu, are you going to tell me which storage ring the 'Luck-Changing Beads' are in? Or should I try them one by one?"

Liu Botang was in a state of utter distress and regretted bringing all the auction items with him that night. The main problem was that he had never encountered someone so unruly and unpredictable, especially since the other party had deliberately concealed their cultivation level, leaving him with no chance to ask for help.

After not receiving a clear response from Liu Botang, Yunxi did not hesitate to break open the storage ring on the index finger of his right hand. With a "whoosh", the entire room was filled with the ring. However, there was no "lucky bead" in this storage ring. She then turned her gaze to the middle finger of Liu Botang's right hand.

At this moment, blood was seeping from Liu Botang's mouth. He immediately moved his left little finger, indicating that the "lucky charm" was in the storage ring.

Yunxi patted Lili's head, and Lili immediately jumped onto Liu Botang's lap, who was not moving, and snatched the storage ring from his left little finger.

Yunxi examined the storage ring inlaid with rubies for a moment, and then, under Liu Botang's angry glare, quickly erased his divine sense imprint, causing Liu Botang's face to turn even paler.

After probing with her divine sense, she found no "luck-changing bead." Her face turned cold, and she then looked at Liu Botang, whose lips trembled as he spoke haltingly:

"Inside is the Spirit-Slaying Box."

Yunxi understood, and once again probed with her divine sense, taking out a very inconspicuous gray box placed in the corner. After holding the box and looking at it for a while, she asked:

"Manager Liu, are you sure she's inside? This time it can't be wrong, right?"

Liu Botang moved his head with difficulty, his double chin turning into a triple chin, his eyes filled with certainty, conviction, and a sense of certainty.

Yunxi didn't open the box immediately. Such a valuable item wouldn't be simply placed in a magic box by the auction house. She guessed Liu Botang was unwilling to give up and wanted to try his luck, but she wouldn't give him that chance. She flipped her hand and put the box into her storage bracelet, then transmitted her voice:

“Xiao Meng, his consciousness has been injured. You must immediately pull him into a dream, and make sure he personally escorts us out of the Chong'an Auction House in a little while.”

"No problem, Your Excellency."

Xiao Meng readily agreed. She was of the same rank as Manager Liu, and now that the other party's spiritual consciousness was injured, her intervention would be foolproof.

Yunxi's pink crystal forehead ornament began to shimmer, and in the next instant, Liu Botang's eyelids grew heavier and heavier until he finally closed his eyes. A moment later, he began to snore, clearly having fallen asleep.

Yunxi waved her sleeve and stuffed everything in the room back into her storage ring. She then put the ring back on Liu Botang's finger. Of course, she also put the auction certificate for the "lucky bead" into the last storage ring. Then she hugged Lili back into her arms.

The room fell eerily quiet instantly. A quarter of an hour later, Xiaomeng transmitted her voice:
"Your Excellency, I have already created a false dream for Manager Liu. Now, wake him up."

"Alright." The moment her words fell, Liu Botang indeed opened his eyes, though there was a clear look of disorientation in them. After a moment, his eyes regained their clarity, and he cupped his hands in greeting to Yun Xi:
"Fellow Daoist, you can leave your enhancement potion at the Chong'an Auction House. We will take the auction proceeds according to the rules, deduct the portion belonging to the auction house, and deposit the rest into the Purple Gold Card. It can be used at any auction house, regardless of whether it is Chong'an City or any other major cultivation city."

Clearly, Liu Botang's memory was still stuck on the enhancement potion that Yunxi mentioned. However, Xiaomeng altered the latter part based on what actually happened before, changing it to Yunxi receiving a message and being in a hurry to leave Chong'an City, unable to attend the auction that night. Therefore, she was discussing with Liu Botang whether to withdraw the auctioned potion.

Liu Botang, following his usual practice, did not want to miss this opportunity to earn spirit stones, so he persuaded Yunxi to leave the enhancement potion at the auction house and have them bid on it on her behalf, and then deposit the proceeds into the purple-gold card that was universally used by the Weiling Realm Auction House.

Xiao Meng had already communicated with Yun Xi via telepathy, so Yun Xi hesitated for a moment on the surface, but finally nodded in agreement. Afterwards, Liu Botang called over the Golden Core female cultivator from before, handed Yun Xi a newly issued Purple Gold Card, and personally escorted Yun Xi out of the Chong'an Auction House.

Yunxi smiled and cupped her hands in greeting:
"Manager Liu, please wait a moment. If the potion auction goes well, we will have another chance to meet later."

"Nature! Natural!"

Liu Botang maintained his amicable demeanor as he saw Yun Xi off before turning back to the auction house, though he felt he had forgotten something.

An hour before the auction began that evening, Liu Botang discovered that his storage ring had been tampered with, but nothing was missing except for the "lucky charm". Where the "lucky charm" had been, the auction receipt he had given to the male cultivator at the auction house was now placed.

Liu Botang plopped down on the stool, his face instantly turning extremely ugly. He went through the events of the day from beginning to end, finally placing his suspicions on the red-clad female cultivator he had met alone.

The Golden Core female cultivator who received Yun Xi was also taken in for questioning. She recalled the two times she received Yun Xi and couldn't detect anything unusual. Most importantly, everyone at the auction house saw that Manager Liu personally escorted the red-clad female cultivator out, and he was very polite to her.

Liu Botang was so angry he almost fainted. In the end, he went to find the elder guarding the auction house. This elder was at the early stage of the Integration Realm and discovered that Liu Botang's memories had been tampered with.

Liu Botang was also shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. The fact that the other party could tamper with his memories without damaging his soul showed how powerful they were. He should be grateful that the other party only wanted the "lucky bead" and not his life. Most importantly, the other party had not touched the other items in the auction house, otherwise he would have really paid the price with his life.

Although the "lucky charm" was lost, the other party also returned the consignment certificate, which means that the consignor withdrew the item and the responsibility did not lie with the auction house.

Finally, Liu Botang personally explained at the auction, replacing the "Luck-Changing Bead" with Yunxi's enhancement potion. He also exaggerated the potion's miraculous effects, repeatedly stating that it was made by a direct disciple of the Medical Immortal Sect and that the purpose of the auction was to promote the potion, which is why he tested it on the spot.

The first vial of medicine was given to a junior cultivator who was struggling with his cultivation, who was taking it in front of everyone.

This cultivator's idea was simple: if the medicine didn't work on the spot, he would ask the auction house to refund the spirit stones; if it successfully improved the aptitude of his juniors, he would be even better off, as the second vial of medicine would definitely be extremely expensive, and he would have successfully snagged a bargain.
