"secret?"
Ling Yun asked without changing his expression:
"What secret?"
The innkeeper and waiter tactfully closed the door and left, also dispersing the people outside the private room.
Immediately, Lin Zhennan said with a serious expression:
"Young friend Ling, Chen Qingquan, the dean of the Immortal Martial Academy, will be returning to the Zhao Kingdom in a month!"
Ling Yun's face stiffened. What kind of secret was this? Even if Chen Qingquan came back now, let alone a month later, it wouldn't be a big deal.
It's not as important as the little white fox going hungry.
Lin Zhennan knew about Ling Yun's affair with the Immortal Martial Academy and thought Ling Yun would value this secret.
Surprisingly, they didn't seem to care at all.
After thinking for a moment, he reminded him:
"There's a forbidden area behind the Immortal Martial Academy. Apparently, there's a peerless expert inside. Only Chen Qingquan can get this expert to help. What if Chen Qingquan asks this expert to deal with you, young friend..."
Ling Yun smiled but remained silent, his meaning clear: if he couldn't offer any valuable information, then he shouldn't blame Ling Yun for being ruthless. After all, the matter of calling the little white fox a "little beast" couldn't be left unresolved.
Seeing that Ling Yun remained unmoved, Lin Zhennan was startled and secretly felt fortunate for his attitude.
Even the supreme expert behind the Immortal Martial Academy doesn't care, which shows that the protector behind Ling Yun must be incredibly powerful.
Then, Chen Qingquan revealed a big secret.
"Young friend Ling, an auction will be held in Xuanwu City in three days. It is organized by the Yuanbao Merchants Association of the Tianyuan Dynasty."
Auction!
Ling Yun was slightly taken aback, then quickly asked in confusion:
"The Tianyuan Dynasty and the Zhao Kingdom are separated by a great dynasty, so why would an auction be held in the Zhao Kingdom?"
Chen Qingquan quickly explained:
"The Lingbao Chamber of Commerce discovered a secret realm half a year ago and obtained many treasures. In order to increase profits, the president of the Zhao Kingdom branch specially applied to the headquarters to hold an auction in Zhao Kingdom."
By the way, this is by invitation only. Only the Immortal Martial Academy, the Purple Sun Sect, and the Falling Cloud Sect from the Zhao Kingdom are eligible to participate.
With that, Lin Zhennan handed the invitation to Ling Yun.
However, Ling Yun did not accept the offer. He was not really interested in auctions or anything like that, and there were no treasures that could arouse his interest.
At this moment, Lin Zhennan spoke:
"It's said that the final item up for auction is a cultivation technique called... something like the Six Reincarnations!"
Ling Yun's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light, and he said with slightly rapid breathing:
"The Six Paths of Reincarnation?"
“That’s right!” Lin Zhennan slapped his forehead and laughed.
"Yes, yes, it's the Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique. It sounds pretty powerful."
At this moment, Ling Yun's breathing became somewhat rapid, and he immediately accepted the invitation.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation Technique has been lost for millions of years and is known as one of the ten great techniques of the human race.
Back then, Lingyun's divine sense traveled through the heavens primarily to search for the six realms of reincarnation.
Sensing the change in Ling Yun's emotions, Lin Zhennan was overjoyed and quickly took out a spatial ring:
"Young friend Ling, most of the participants in this auction are major sects and forces from other countries. My Ziyang Sect cannot compete with them, so we will not participate. This is just a small token of our appreciation, please accept it!"
Ling Yun glanced at the storage ring, which contained a full one million top-grade spirit stones, and then calmly accepted them.
Thanks!
Lin Zhennan asked tentatively:
"Young friend, you're not going to destroy the Ziyang Sect, are you?"
Ling Yun shook his head and smiled:
"We will not destroy it for now, Elder Lin, please return."
"Thank you, young friend. I won't disturb your meal any longer!"
Lin Zhennan left Yuexiangke Restaurant with a satisfied expression.
Not long after he left, firecrackers suddenly went off, and the whole street was filled with them.
Previously, the owner of Yuexiangke had spread the news that the unruly child Lin Dong had been beaten to death.
The merchants were overjoyed and wept tears of joy, setting off firecrackers to celebrate.
...
the next day,
Ling Yun and his group left the Demon Burial City and rode at full speed to Qingqiu City, which was five thousand miles away.
They finally arrived in Qingqiu City on the third day.
The following day at noon.
Ling Yun and his group headed to the auction venue, the top floor of Baoxiang Pavilion, the largest restaurant in Qingqiu City.
To ensure the auction proceeded smoothly, the Yuanbao Merchant Guild cleared out the entire street and arranged for hundreds of top-tier retainers to secretly guard it.
Upon entering the top floor entrance of Baoxiang Pavilion, Lingyun presented the invitation.
After inspecting the documents, the manager of the Yuanbao Chamber of Commerce smiled and said:
"Fellow Daoists of the Ziyang Sect, please come in. You are in private room number eighteen."
Ling Yun nodded slightly, preparing to lead A Bao and the others into the auction hall.
At this moment, a man and a woman walked over, and upon seeing Xiao Yanran and Yan Ruyu's stunningly beautiful faces, they revealed a greedy look.
The man is Qi Ming, the third young master of the Qi family in the Tianyuan Dynasty, a notorious lecher, and the woman is his lover, Mu Xue.
"etc!"
Qi Ming called out to Ling Yun and the others, then walked up to Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran, waving his folding fan, and said with a smile:
"This young master would like to invite the two fairies to attend the auction with me. Would you do me the honor?"
Seeing Qi Ming flirting with Ling Yun's two sisters-in-law right in front of him, A Bao was displeased and teased:
"Are you blind? Those two fairies are my sisters-in-law, and my brother is right here!"
Qi Ming ignored A Bao and continued to look at Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran with a warm smile:
"Hehe... As long as you two fairies share a private room with me, whatever treasure you set your sights on, I will help you obtain it!"
"Not interested!"
Xiao Yanran said a few words to Yan Ruyu and then turned to enter the venue.
Seeing this, Mu Xue, who was next to Qi Ming, immediately pointed at the two of them and scolded them:
"You think you're so great? You dare to refuse Young Master Qi? The Qi family is one of the top ten families in the Tianyuan Dynasty. With their strength, destroying the Zhao Kingdom would be a piece of cake."
"Being chosen by Young Master Qi is a stroke of incredible luck for your ancestors. You'd better kneel down and apologize to him properly, or you'll regret it!"
Seeing this, the steward quickly and kindly reminded Ling Yun:
“Fellow Daoist of Ziyang Sect, the Qi family is not to be trifled with. I advise you to apologize to Young Master Qi, otherwise, the Qi family could easily destroy the Ziyang Sect in their anger. Fellow Daoist, you should…”
Ling Yun raised his hand to interrupt the steward, coldly saying:
"Who cares about the Qi family? We'll just wipe them out!"
"What did you say!" Qi Ming was furious. The Qi family was a powerful force in the Tianyuan Dynasty, comparable to a top sect.
Ling Yun actually made the outrageous statement that he wanted to destroy the Qi family.
Qi Ming laughed in anger and said sarcastically:
"You're from the Ziyang Sect? In the Zhao Kingdom, the Ziyang Sect is considered a major sect, but in the eyes of my Qi family, it's not even worth mentioning an ant."
"You think you have the strength to destroy my Qi family? Even if the entire state of Zhao attacked us, we wouldn't stand a chance against my Qi family."
After speaking, he looked at Yan Ruyu and Xiao Yanran, and said coldly:
"Today, you two have caught my eye. You must become my female slaves, or I won't hesitate to wipe out your entire sect for fun!"
"I'm only giving you three breaths to consider. If you don't actively throw yourselves into my arms within three breaths, the Ziyang Sect may just disappear."
"Can a superpower be this domineering?" In a fit of anger, Shangguan Hong rushed to Qi Ming's side.
He slapped her hard across the face and shouted coldly:
"That damned Qi family! They dare to insult my sister-in-law! Even the Tianyuan Dynasty would be destroyed!"
