Ghostly Fragrance [COMPLETED] [UNEDITED]

Caught In the Act

Fangsu continued to act on her hunger on spiritual energy by consuming spirits every few days while slowly reducing the dose of medicine; the stronger the spirit the taste of rotten flesh became more mild. The Chen family made sure to cover the evidence that people who were possess were usually taken care of within the capital. The members of the Chen Family each had a role to fill; idenitifctaion of a spirit possessed person, scouting of information and its rank, discreeting dealing with the spirit and body and finally the clean up. Liansu took care of identification, Susu dealt with information collection, Fangsu dealt with the spirit from the possessed body, their mother dealt with the clean up and their grandpa dealt with covering up their tracks incase they did leave any behind.

However, the uncle had a different job to do that only he could do; investigating the organisation wanting to snuff out spiritual cultivator and protecting Xiao Cheng in case something occurs. Ang Siu and Sim Siu were free to travel under the guise of being tourists to the capital but they were actually aiding the uncle. Though the were trying to scour the capital and other notable locations for any information about any organisation looking into spiritual cultivators were few to none. There simply was not enough information to go off on to figure out the motive of the mysterious organisation trying to find spiritual cultivators. The Uncle entered the same auction house which Fangsu had visited trying to obtain her issters and mother to seek out anything notable item being auction off that could be related to spiritual cultivators. As he was seating in a crowded area as to not stand out too much, quietly observing the items and who was buying them.

As he continue to seat there quietly without actually bidding on any items since the items being auctions were only the normal thing that cutliavtors would use, "Ladies and Gentlemen! Today, we have recieved a last minute submission that might be quite interesting to many!" The auctioner announced with a loud voice immediately catching the attenton of all who were interested in the last minute submission of an items that even the auction house couldn't even refuse not to auction off today, "I proudly present you a true young proud Qilin in the flesh!" Many high ranked cultivators that were working for the auction house dragged in a special grade metal cage with a young Qilin trying to thrash around with chains trapping and draining the energy of the poor Qilin. As the Uncle witnessed such an act on one of the Chen's family sacred animal that they were swore to protect was being treated in such an inhumane way like it was a trophy.

The Uncle quickly pulled out of a mirror from his robe secretly gesturing that it was an emergency and that he need money. Lots of money. The only person who responded was his sister who immediately was ready with the money and on her way to his location, "2 million gold!" The first bidder shouted out a huge amount of gold that many people wouldn't usually pull out but more people followed along increasing the starting bidding price for the Qilin. It finally reached 20 million gold which was simply a good price for a mythcial creature that was said to have vanished from the world completely.

Finally, his sister quickly entered the auction house with a slam, "30 million gold!" The sudden increase of 10 million gold immediately cause the mass majority of bidders to immediately withdraw from the bid. Even if a Qilin is a sacred animal; spending more than 20 million gold was not worth it for the majority. A mysterious beauty of a woman with a slim figure had entered the auction house with confidence passing many of the men who oogled at her beauty.

However, even with the ludicious increase of gold for the Qilin there was still one bidder, "35 million!" The bid had now been increasing to 5 million each bid. Causing his sister to hesitant to continuing adding more gold; she only had bought 35 million gold with her thinking it was enough but she had taken into accounting other bidder who were desperately wanting to own a Qilin as a mount or medicine.

The auctioneer eyes were glistening at the amount of gold that these people were splashing out for the Qilin, "35 million gold!" They wanted to juice out as much gold as possible as the huge sale would be contribute to her commission, "Going once! Going Twice! It is sold to number-" Before the auctioneer to continue the door of the auction house was oonce again opened once again revealing a mysterious figure with black with a navy hue to it. A unbelieveable colour for any human unless they were of other races, however, the hair that belong to the indivdual young person of androgynous appearance seeing that what they wore wasn't typically clothing from the capital. So, it was difficult to source their origin.
