The group was very curious about the auction, so after dinner, they went to the hall.

All the private rooms on the second floor of the hall are now open, and guests can enter the rooms with their invitations.

The private room was luxuriously decorated, and tea, wine, and pastries were all high-end products.

There were two genuine leather sofas next to the table, one for Liu Dong and one for Qin Yi.

The remaining people could only sit on the benches at the back.

Angelia and her siblings, along with Wei Ming, were all quite young, at an age where their curiosity was at its peak.

Everyone was very excited to attend their first auction.

On the table were two beautifully designed booklets listing the items to be auctioned that day.

Although the photos are in black and white, detailed descriptions are provided below, allowing customers to fully understand the product.

Liu Dong flipped through the booklet, her gaze falling on one of the photos.

Qin Yi noticed and asked, "Is there anything you're interested in?"

Liu Tong pointed to the picture: "Chen Tuan's 'He Luo Li Shu'".

Qin Yi suddenly realized that Liu Dong was a member of the Xuanmen sect, so naturally he would be interested in the things left behind by the Xuanmen sect's predecessors.

After all, Chen Tuan was a very famous figure in the Xuanmen (Taoist school).

What about sleeping for eight hundred years? What about Zhao Kuangyin losing Mount Hua in a game of chess with him?

Qin Yi asked curiously, "Did Chen Tuan really sleep for eight hundred years?"

Logically speaking, human lifespan is no more than a hundred years, and eight hundred years is simply impossible for humans to achieve.

But this world isn't just home to humans; there are also zombie monsters and the like.

There really are gods!

After all, he had previously killed a vampire who had lived for hundreds of years.

Liu Tong: "I don't know either, but there are records in my family's collection of books. Chen Tuan seems to have lived during the Tang Dynasty. Even if it was the end of the Tang Dynasty, after more than 70 years of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, by the time of the Northern Song Dynasty, he was nearly a hundred years old. To live to be over a hundred years old is considered a long life."

Liu Tong: "Chen Tuan wrote 'The Secret of Fetal Breathing,' which is a special explanation of Taoist internal alchemy cultivation. It tells how to achieve health and longevity through breath regulation and internal cultivation. Perhaps he lived for eight hundred years by practicing 'The Secret of Fetal Breathing.'"

Qin Yi: "I heard that Chen Tuan slept on Wudang Mountain for twenty years without eating or drinking."

Liu Tong: "Hmm. They might be practicing martial arts."

Qin Yi: "Do you want to live forever?"

Liu Tong: "I don't want to."

When his life is over, he can simply change his identity and start over. Why does he need immortality?
Liu Tong: "I have a feeling that this book, 'He Luo Li Shu,' will be related to our next move."

Qin Yi: "We are going to the tomb of Emperor Jiajing. He was a famous Taoist emperor who was very obsessed with Taoism. It is possible that some Taoist theories were used in the construction of his mausoleum."

Liu Tong: "Yeah, that's why I wanted to buy this book."

After all, this book is marked with the original manuscript written by Chen Tuan himself.

This book is naturally an antique, but there aren't many people who like Taoist culture these days. Therefore, apart from a few people who want to buy it for their collection, the competition isn't fierce.

After several rounds of bidding, Liu Dong successfully acquired the book.

The following rounds were also antique auctions, and all of them were sold at very high prices.

The auctioneer began auctioning off a new item, which turned out to be a bottle of blood.

The host began mysteriously, "Everyone, this isn't human blood, but a legendary kind of blood. If you inject this blood into your body, you can gain eternal youth and immortality."

The crowd erupted in uproar, and the hall became abuzz with excitement.

Immortality!

What a temptation!

They all stared greedily at the bottle of blood.

But there are also rational people who don't believe in true immortality. Look at all those emperors of ancient times—they all pursued immortality, but did they succeed?
They were emperors, and even with the combined power of the entire nation, they couldn't achieve immortality. How much less could ordinary people like them?

Who knows what that blood is, or if it contains viruses or anything like that?

Qin Yi stared at the bottle, which emanated an unsettling feeling. "Why does that blood seem so familiar?"

Liu Tong: "Ah, that must be vampire blood."

He saw the same feminine energy as that of vampires above.

So the host is right, merging with the blood in the bottle can grant immortality.

Because you'll turn into a vampire!

Moreover, vampires transformed in this way, without the "embrace" of high-level vampires, can only be the lowest-level vampires.

They have no resistance to human blood, nor the ability to resist sunlight.

If you drag them out into the sunlight, they will be dried into ashes.

Such an inability to attain immortality must be a form of torture, right?

It's better not to.

When Angelia and Ronald heard the word "vampire," their eyes turned into vertical pupils in shock.

Qin Yi: "Who is the owner of this hotel? How could they possibly have vampire blood?! Would a vampire use their blood to pay off a debt?"

Angelia chimed in, "No, vampires aren't like humans. They have very little blood, so every drop is precious. They wouldn't use their own blood to pay off debts."

She continued, "The amount of blood in that bottle is the amount of blood a vampire possesses. Without blood, I wonder if that vampire is still alive."

Liu Tong: "Ah, he should be dead by now."

Qin Yi: "Are the people at the hotel capable of killing vampires?"

Angelia said, "We don't need them to do it; we can buy it from the Vatican. When we left, the Vatican and the vampires were at war, and many people died. It's normal for the Vatican to have vampire blood."

Wei Ming exclaimed in surprise: "War?"

Ronald nodded and said, "It is said that three counts under Duke Morfield came to the ancient Eastern country, but were secretly attacked and killed by the Holy See. Duke Morfield could not tolerate this, so he declared war on the Holy See."

Qin Yi and Liu Tong looked at each other in bewilderment.

Unexpectedly, the Vatican became the scapegoat for them.

The two coughed, pretending nothing had happened, and turned their attention back to the stage.

The bidding was fierce; many people wanted that vial of blood.

Qin Yi: "Aren't we going to do anything about it?"

Liu Tong: "Those who reap what they sow cannot live."

Qin Yi: "That's true."

Liu Tong: "Tonight we're going to visit the hotel owner."

Qin Yi: "Okay."

If vampire blood is sold, will the hotel owner keep a bottle for himself?

Doesn't he want to live forever?
The bottle of blood sold for an exorbitant price to a high-ranking official who was rumored to have entangled with Japanese people.

Therefore, neither of them would step forward to remind the high-ranking official.

It is not a pity for such a person to die.

Once he becomes a vampire, Liu Qiu and Qin Yi tear down the roof of their house.

Although summer has not yet arrived, the weather is pleasant and the sun is shining brightly. It's early for work and very enthusiastic.

They'll definitely treat the newly minted vampire well. (End of Chapter)
