Dark Star Auction House.

Standing in front of Lin Jinglong was a young man dressed in fine clothes, exuding the air of a noble young master, who was staring at him menacingly.

"Cousin, are you kidding me?"

"You're going to give this guy a Celestial-level cultivation technique?"

"This isn't how you keep a gigolo!"

The young people are recklessly mocking Lin Jinglong.

Wu Shenji stood beside him and explained in a telepathic voice, "This person is Situ Nan, a member of a collateral branch of the Situ family. He is not good at business, but he has good talent in martial arts. He has already reached the peak of the Saint Rank at a young age."

"Only Saint Rank is considered good?"

Wu Shenji was speechless.

Saint-level beings under thirty years old would be considered prodigies even in reclusive families, but compared to Lin Jinglong, they are practically no different from trash.

This is the diversity of the world!

Situ Xue frowned and glanced at her distant cousin.

"I asked you to give me a cultivation manual, and you're just asking for trouble!"

"Isn't this all for the sake of the family?"

Situ Nan stepped forward and said ingratiatingly.

"Even a fragment of a Celestial-level cultivation technique is priceless and not something ordinary people can access. Any one of them is worth more than 100,000 points. What exactly do you plan to do with this cultivation technique?"

As he spoke, he glanced warily at Lin Jinglong out of the corner of his eye.

"As the person in charge of this auction house in Kyoto, I naturally won't waste resources. Our transactions are fair!"

"oh?"

Situ Nan looked at Lin Jinglong.

She looked him up and down, somewhat disdainfully.

"I wonder what treasures you possess that would allow my cousin to trade a fragment of a celestial-level cultivation technique with you?"

Lin Jinglong pondered for a moment.

He finally decided to pass on the Heavenly Silkworm Three Transformations to Situ Xue, but before that, he had one more condition.

"I don't care about the value of the fragment you gave me, because no matter how powerful the technique is, it's still just a fragment and can't compare to the technique I'm going to pass on to you."

He spoke very bluntly.

Situ Xue remained expressionless and nodded silently.

Situ Nan was very unhappy.

His gaze was becoming increasingly hostile.

"The technique I'm passing on to you can not only be used to refine blood pills, but also to heal the sick and save lives, cleanse your marrow and strengthen your bones, and most importantly, to elevate your martial arts realm in a special way."

"So, I have one more request."

“You, Situ Xue, will come with me to that newly discovered ruin.”

"What?"

Everyone, including Wu Shenji, was puzzled.

Faced with their doubts, Lin Jinglong said calmly, "It seems you still don't know the value of this ruin. But in the next few days, once the people from all sides have explored the ruin, Kyoto will be in turmoil."

"I want you, Situ Xue, to be my bodyguard."

"And I will distribute everything of value within the ruins."

Faced with such demanding geniuses.

Not to mention Situ Xue, even Wu Shenji couldn't stand it anymore, and he stared angrily at Lin Jinglong.

"Are you kidding me?"

"Who does our young master have to be your bodyguard?"

Situ Xue raised her hand.

She shook her head and said, "Mr. Lin must have a deeper meaning behind what he said. Please explain it to me."

Situ Nan, however, was impatient.

"Cousin, did you perhaps develop a bad temper while cultivating in the Southern Frontier? Where did your fiery temper go? You're the female demon that even the Hidden World Alliance fears!"

"shut up!"

Situ Xue looked at Lin Jinglong with a serious expression.

Lin Jinglong glanced at her with slight surprise.

I never imagined that this woman would be so determined to obtain the alchemy method!

“That ruin is the true inheritance of an ancient immortal sect. Any force would not miss the opportunity to set foot there. I don’t value you, Situ Xue.”

“What I value is your status. If you come inside with me, many powerful figures from the Dark Star Auction House will certainly accompany you to protect you.”

"I need you to clear the roadblocks for me."

Lin Jinglong spoke frankly about his thoughts.

He wasn't sure if Situ Xue would agree.

But the other party did not hesitate at all.

She just smiled slightly.

"Business is business. If the technique you want to pass on is truly of high value, I will protect you on this trip to the ruins without any objection."

Lin Jinglong immediately touched her forehead.

Some complex celestial texts were instilled into her mind, and after the immortal touched her head, a burst of inspiration emerged.

She easily comprehended the three transformations of the Heavenly Silkworm Technique.

Looking at her delighted expression, Lin Jinglong said calmly, "Don't worry, that ruin is the ancient Heavenly Silkworm Sect ruin. You have also mastered the Heavenly Silkworm Technique and have the identity of a true disciple of the sect. You will definitely get your share of the benefits."

Situ Xue, regaining her senses, suddenly felt puzzled.

"Since that's the case, you still dare to pass on your skills to me?"

Aren't you afraid I'll steal your opportunity?

Upon hearing this, Lin Jinglong burst into laughter.

He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at her with an arrogant and conceited gaze, and shook his head, saying, "I have naturally considered this issue."

"But you're not qualified to steal my opportunity."

The greatest opportunity within the ruins was not the artifacts, but the little girl who had lived for five thousand years.

Lin Jinglong has already established contact with her.

This is the real opportunity!

Or rather, everything was already destined from the moment he obtained this jade slip, or even from the moment he acquired the first three transformations of the Heavenly Silkworm Technique.

Innate talent, comprehension, and karmic connections...

Lin Jinglong believed himself to be no less capable than anyone else in the world.

Situ Nan gritted his teeth in anger.

"Damn it! I thought I was arrogant enough, but I never expected there would be someone even more arrogant than me!"
