After all, this is the cultivation world. If we are exposed, we are very likely to be coveted by certain forces, which could lead to our death.

But this fellow Daoist, who appears to be rather thin, is going against the grain and is instead making his information public.

Is Ninghua Sect her enemy? Is she doing this to draw fire from her enemy?

Strangely enough, Li Qingwen had been in Linglong Pavilion for so many years and had met with many forces of all sizes.

But he had never actually heard of this sect called "Ninghua Sect".

He couldn't figure out what Shen Sangruo's purpose was, so he stopped worrying about it; it wasn't something he should be considering anyway.

All he had to do was to complete the task entrusted to him and satisfy the other party. "Linglong Pavilion will do as Fellow Daoist Sanyou said."

"Is this the 'Ninghua Sect'?" Li Qingwen picked up his brush, wrote down the three characters, and showed them to her.

After reviewing the document, Shen Sangruo nodded in confirmation, "Mm."

Beneath the curtain, a resolute glint shone in Shen Sangruo's eyes.

If Su Xiyu and the others can break free from the seal of Ninghua Sect, this action will be seen as paving the way for Ninghua Sect's return.

She will let the world know that there is such a sect as Ninghua Sect.

Sects that have been hidden in the long river of time and forgotten by the world will one day return to the world's sight.

She wanted to restore Ninghua Sect to its former glory and make it stand at the top of the cultivation world once again.

The spirit stones she obtained from the auction, apart from being used to pay for the clues from the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, will all be used for the future construction of Ninghua.

This action is not only for Ninghua Sect, but also for Wuwei Daoren.

After all, the fate of Daoist Wuwei is tied to the fortune of Ninghua Sect. Only by making Ninghua Sect strong can Daoist Wuwei be saved.

Even if the worst-case scenario is that Su Xiyu and the others cannot get out, this action will have even less impact on them.

After all, the world has no idea what kind of sect Ninghua Sect is or where it is located.

Not to mention that some people might covet it and try to rob it.

It wouldn't be so bad if Ninghua Sect became a legend known only by name but never by fact.

This can be considered another way to bring Ninghua Sect back to the world.

"Fellow Daoist Sanyou, please wait a moment." Li Qingwen got up and went outside. He returned a moment later with something in his hand.

"This is a VIP card for Linglong Pavilion." He handed her a card made of crystal.

Her name, Mu Sanyou, is engraved on it.

"Fellow Daoist Sanyou only needs to imprint your divine sense on this card to be considered bound to it."

"Next time you enter Linglong Pavilion with this card, Linglong Pavilion will know your identity and arrange priority reception for you."

"After the auction is completed, this card will display a corresponding message to notify you in time to collect the spirit stones."

Li Qingwen gave her a brief explanation.

Shen Sangri accepted the crystal card and said, "If I need to entrust someone to auction again in the future, I will come to find Fellow Daoist Li again."

This implies that we will continue to cooperate in the future.

"Alright, alright, I'll see Fellow Daoist Sanyou out." Li Qingwen grinned from ear to ear.

This was equivalent to giving him several big sales targets, so he was naturally overjoyed.

After leaving Linglong Pavilion, Shen Sangruo embarked on another journey to find the ingredients for Xuan Shuang Qing Xin Dan.

In the following months, a new sect called Ninghua Sect, known for its various treasures, suddenly appeared in the cultivation world.

People wanting to acquire treasures as precious as those from Ninghua Sect at auction practically wore out the threshold of Linglong Pavilion.

The number of people attending the Linglongge auction reached an all-time high, with the venue packed with people and vehicles, making it impossible to move.

From then on, Ninghua Sect became famous.

——

On the other side.

In a place called Qionglou City, Shen Sangruo planned to stay and rest for a few days.

Qionglou City is neither too big nor too small. Most of its inhabitants are ordinary people without cultivation, but there are also some cultivation families among them. They have some dealings with various sects and can still have some influence in the cultivation world.

After leaving Linglong Pavilion, she regained her original appearance and figure.

So as not to be tracked down by those with ulterior motives based on her appearance in the Linglong Pavilion at that time.

If you simply wear another veiled hat, most people wouldn't notice.

She randomly found an inn, made arrangements with the owner, got the room key, and was about to check in.

A man suddenly blocked her way.

The man was handsome and well-dressed, and his attire, from top to bottom, was made of high-quality materials, clearly indicating that he was not of the same social class as the other people in the city.

He looks more like a young master from one of the city's cultivation families.

If it weren't for the flush on his cheeks and the flippant look in his eyes, he would have quite the air of a noble young master.

"Oh my, where did this little beauty come from?"

The man spoke, and a strong smell of alcohol wafted over.

The smell of alcohol on this person was different from that on Feng Heyun. While the smell of alcohol on Feng Heyun was still refreshing, the smell of alcohol on this person made her feel nauseous and uncomfortable.

"Beauty, don't be shy. Come, let this young master see what you look like."

As he spoke, the man reached out and ripped off Chen Sangruo's veil.

Her face beneath the veil resembled a blooming peony, with bright and clear eyes; she was truly a captivating and unparalleled beauty.

The man's eyes widened slightly, then a look of wild joy appeared on his face. He exclaimed excitedly, "I'm not saying this to be mean, but Old He, you're really too unfair! You've hidden such a beauty away from me and you won't even share her with me!"

But they failed to see the chill hidden in those eyes.

Shen Sanruo gave a cold laugh, a mocking smile curving her lips as she looked at the person in front of her with a hint of amusement.

He guessed that this person was probably a spoiled young master with some background in Qionglou City, who did whatever he wanted in the city because of his family's power.

Perhaps their family has considerable influence, at least enough to have a voice in the city, to dare to be so arrogant.

After all, people come and go in the inn, and those who stay there are not necessarily from Qionglou City.

The fact that he dared to harass women at the inn suggests that someone could cover it up for him when things happened, which is why he was so fearless.

Now he treats her like a soft persimmon that he can manipulate at will.

Unfortunately, she was no pushover; she had plenty of strength and resources.

The innkeeper rushed over and saw Tian Haotian committing acts of bullying men and women in his inn again. He was so anxious that sweat poured down his forehead.

"Young Master Haotian, what are you doing? Stop it at once! This fairy is not from the city; she is a distinguished guest!"

When Shen Sanruo gave the innkeeper spirit stones, she took out a high-grade spirit stone and asked to stay in the best room and not to be disturbed by anyone.

Judging from his actions and demeanor, he is certainly not someone to be trifled with.

Perhaps she is from a prestigious family, a young lady who goes out to gain experience, or even a disciple—who knows?

If something happens, Tian Haotian will still have his father to protect him, but the innkeeper is just an ordinary person, how can he bear it?

The innkeeper could only try to hint to Tian Haotian that Shen Sangruo's identity was not simple.
