The Xie family of Yunhai used their deductive reasoning skills to deduce the location of the missing prodigy, who turned out to be at the auction house in Fengdu City.

Yu Ge's heart tightened. How could she have sold the human genius to the Fengdu Auction House?

Are the auction houses in the underworld really in such bad shape that they need geniuses from the mortal realm?

Yu Ge clicked his tongue and stroked his chin seriously. "I bet that kid Wen Jixue will fetch a good price."

In Yu Ge's mind, Wen Jixue was a member of the Tongxuan royal family, a disciple of a Venerable, the fourth-ranked in Qingyun, and had a face that looked very appealing. She must be worth some money.

The crowd around: ...

Everyone was speechless at Yu Ge's optimism.

Who would have thought that even in the dangerous underworld city of Fengdu, the top-ranked player on the Qingyun List would remain so calm and collected?

The swordsman in blue robes, Shen Liang, sighed deeply, gazing excitedly at Yu Ge's retreating figure. "Truly a genius, possessing unparalleled talent!"

Yu Ge: ...No, that's not it.

Yu Ge's optimism wasn't genuine; she was simply at her wit's end.

After all, crying or laughing both mean the same day.

Yu Ge couldn't escape it; she could only maintain an abstract optimism.

Yu Ge: Those who can't kill me are almost killing me. Those who can't defeat me are the ones who keep hitting me. Those who can defeat me, I won't fight them.

At the same time, the spirit of the divine sword in the inheritance site within Yu Ge's consciousness slowly awakened.

Within the vast, dark inheritance grounds, the sword spirit slightly curled the corners of its lips. "Sensed..."

"The thing is inside..."

"..."

At the entrance of the Fengdu City auction house.

Upon seeing this.

The group couldn't help but discuss how to get inside.

Nalan Liyue, Yu Yundu, and Xu Qingyao spoke in unison, even swinging their fists as they did so, "Fight their way in!"

Everyone: ?

Just as the three of them finished speaking, everyone saw a ghost in the Void Refinement stage try to force its way into the auction house, only to be slapped away by the old man guarding the auction house.

Everyone: ...

Upon seeing this, Yu Ge nodded slightly.

Everyone thought Yu Ge had a solution, and their eyes lit up with excitement. "Young Master Yu has a solution?"

Yu Ge was taken aback, then shrugged and gave a thumbs up. "No, what I mean is, your grandpa is still your grandpa."

Everyone fell silent.

The old man guarding the entrance to the auction house wore tattered robes and sat on a small wooden stool. Anyone who was not qualified to enter the auction house or who intended to trespass would be slapped to death by him.

Although Fengdu City was originally full of dead people.

But your grandpa can slap a ghost to pieces.

Upon seeing this, Yu Ge couldn't help but step forward and ask the old man in blue sitting in the chair.

"Sir, did you see a group of young people at the auction?"

The old man picked at his ear. "Who's there?"

Yu Ge twitched the corner of her mouth. "A living person."

The old man casually fanned himself with a fan. "What's the work?"

Yu Ge: ...Alright, no need to ask anymore.

Then, Pei Ji slowly stepped forward and asked, "How can I enter the auction?"

Upon hearing this, the old man coughed twice and said, "Oh, I need money."

After saying that, the old man rubbed his hands together in a cheeky manner. Afraid that Yu Ge and the others wouldn't understand, the old man added... "money".

Yu Ge: ?

Oh my god, he's a foreigner?

Upon hearing this...

Lu Yu scurried over, "Oh, so you're short of money? Well, we're not. I'm a direct disciple of the Holy Pill Sect and the eldest young master of the Lu family, so I'm not short of spirit stones."

After saying that, Lu Yu casually tossed out a spatial storage bag containing at least several hundred million spirit stones.

Everyone else also planned to follow suit.

But before everyone could do anything else...

The old man guarding the auction picked his ear and casually tossed the storage bag containing hundreds of millions of spirit stones away like trash.

"What is this thing? How can the underworld use something from the living?"

Everyone: ?

Only then did everyone realize what the guard at the gate of Fengdu City had said.

Although the two guards from Fengdu City were also in the underworld, they were essentially outside of Fengdu City and could cross over into the human world.

Therefore, spirit stones are useful to them.

But since Fengdu City is inhabited by ghosts, the currency used is naturally different.

Pei Ji stepped forward, waved his faded sleeves, and explained, "The River Styx, the Netherworld, the abode of the dead..."

"What they use is, naturally, the currency of the dead, which is what is called in human folklore..."

"Ghost money, also known as underworld paper."

Yu Ge was taken aback, then looked at Pei Ji seriously, "Are you an encyclopedia?"

Pei Ji was taken aback at first, because he didn't know what an encyclopedia meant, but it sounded alright.

Yu Ge understood Pei Ji's reaction and smiled, explaining, "It means being knowledgeable in astronomy and geography."

Pei Ji coughed twice to cover up the turmoil in his heart.

The emperor of the Six Realms, who cultivated the Path of Ruthlessness, felt a slight ripple in his heart at Yu Ge's cuteness, and then nodded, "Perhaps."

Seeing this, Wu Jinli curled his lip and said sarcastically, "Heh, maybe~"

"Load the cargo!"

When Yu Yundu saw the silver-haired pretty boy who had been picked up so close to his older brother, he immediately said, "What's the use of knowing a lot? I'm better than you. I have muscles."

Everyone: ...

Just as the three were in a state of chaos...

Xiao Wangchen, like a well-behaved puppy, said, "Stop arguing, you're disturbing my Senior Brother Yu's thinking."

Three people: ...Your home?

Xie Jiuge and the others were also thinking.

After all, it seems impossible to break into the Fengdu City auction now.

Your grandpa will slap you to death.

There's only one way to get into the auction: by spending money.

However, the only currency that can be traded within Fengdu City is ghost money.

They are all living people, who would have nothing better to do than burn paper money for themselves?

Besides, they are now in the underworld, so they don't have the chance to burn joss paper for themselves.

In a short time.

Everyone couldn't help but feel regret.

However, just as everyone was pondering this...

Yu Ge actually pulled out a stack of ghost money from his pocket.

Everyone looked puzzled.

Nalan Liyue's lips twitched slightly. "Senior brother, where did you get those ghost money?"

Before everyone's shocked eyes, Yu Ge coughed lightly twice in a serious manner.

"Ahem, I was afraid of suddenly dying, so I burned some for myself beforehand. I didn't expect to be able to use it in the underworld. What a coincidence!"

Everyone looked at Yu Ge in a mixture of silence and surprise.

It's hard to imagine that a living person would burn paper money for themselves when they have nothing to do.

Yu Ge: Is it wrong to burn some paper money for yourself in advance?

Everyone: ...

However, Yu Ge didn't burn enough to cover the entrance fees for so many people to enter the Fengdu Auction House.

a long time.

Pei Ji slowly extended his hand to Yu Ge. The young man's long, silver-white hair fell to his waist, and his clear, cold eyes flickered slightly. "Storage bag."

Yu Ge quickly covered her storage bag, "I have no money."

Pei Ji: ...

When Pei Ji saw Yu Ge protecting his radish like a little rabbit, he didn't know whether to be angry or to admire the beauty's feigned anger.

Pei Ji continued, "I mean, give me back my storage bag. It contains a magical artifact that allows me to communicate with the human world."

Yu Ge's eyes lit up. "You have such a treasure?"

"...Why didn't you say so earlier!"

Pei Ji: ...If you had said so earlier, you would have sold me out long ago.

then.

After searching for a while, Yu Ge found the object that Pei Ji had mentioned that could communicate with the human world.

It is a rather exquisite bronze mirror. The mirror is delicate and small, surrounded by dragon and phoenix patterns, and it seems to have the power of time flowing through it.

Pei Ji pointed to the bronze mirror and said, "This is the Dragon and Phoenix Heart-Seeking Mirror. As long as you have the person you want to find in your heart, you can talk to them through the bronze mirror."

Pei Ji then explained, "Why don't you just tell the people on the Tongxuan Continent to burn some paper money for us, and then we'll have some money?"

Yu Ge suddenly realized, then gripped the bronze mirror tightly, recalling the appearance of Venerable Changyu.

As for why she didn't recall her own master, it was because Yu Ge knew that her master didn't have money to buy paper money.

Simultaneously.

Within the Tongxuan Continent.

The powerful immortals, including Venerable Changyu, who were anxiously waiting at the edge of the underworld, suddenly heard a familiar voice.

A pleasant voice rang in Venerable Changyu's ears.

The centenarian was startled and immediately jumped up from his seat, "?"

Then, he saw Yu Ge's face suddenly pop out through a vortex and say something to him.

"Uncle-Master, please burn some paper money for me."
