In the Qiu Junnan tavern at Dream Seeking Port, Hou Qiwen had suffered a beating at the hands of Lin Tian, sustaining injuries and losing face completely.

At that time, he had seen through Lin Tian’s identity as a cultivator!

Filled with both shock and rage, yet fortunate to have escaped with his life, he fled at the first opportunity.

Only after his injuries had eased slightly did he hurry to join the auction on Night Crying Island.

As he arrived and heard Lei Hongrui’s question, thoughts of Lin Tian resurfaced, a fresh wave of fear washing over him, leaving his face deathly pale and his expression betraying a narrow escape from disaster.

But, damn it, just as he looked back unintentionally, he saw, seated with an indifferent expression next to the Leizhou Mountain disciples Yaya and Zhuzhu, none other than Lin Tian.

It seemed that to Lin Tian, notable figures like Lei Hongrui from Leizhou Mountain appeared to be as good as nonexistent in his eyes.

Upon seeing him, Lin Tian’s expression showed a flicker of surprise, followed by a smirk that wasn’t quite a smile.

Witnessing Lin Tian’s expression, Hou Qiwen’s face stiffened, his teeth chattered; his body swayed, and then his legs began to shake like chaff in the wind.

In an instant, his face turned even paler, sweat poured down his forehead, and he swallowed his saliva incessantly.

Fuck, why is he here?

Just how unlucky can I get!

At this moment, Hou Qiwen felt as if countless grass-mud horses were stampeding through his mind, and he almost wished for death.

“Second Elder, what’s wrong with you?”

Seeing Hou Qiwen staring blankly at them, with a mix of shock and fear, Yaya couldn’t help but ask softly with a puzzled tone.

But at this moment, Hou Qiwen was so terrified that he hadn’t snapped out of his daze yet.

“Hou Qiwen, what are you daydreaming about?”

Seeing Hou Qiwen standing there like an idiot, Lei Hongrui’s expression darkened, and he frowned and reprimanded him sternly.

“Ah…”

Finally roused by the call, Hou Qiwen came back to his senses, quickly withdrew his gaze from Lin Tian, and said to Lei Hongrui respectfully, “Sect…

Sect Master, did you call for me?”

“What exactly happened to you?

You’re injured, and you look panicked?

What’s going on!”

Lei Hongrui’s face showed slight anger as he scolded.

“Sect Master, previously at Dream Seeking Port…”

Still in a state of panic, Hou Qiwen almost blurted out the incident at the tavern, but he quickly regained his composure, remembering that certain someone was nearby, and his body involuntarily shivered, as he hastily corrected himself, “Sect Master, I…

I was practicing in the outskirts of Dream Seeking Port and, due to a moment of distraction, I nearly deviated from my cultivation, which caused my injury!

I thought I wouldn’t make it here…

that’s why I’m in such a panic!”

“Deviation?”

The Sect Master of Xuanyang Sect, Wen Zheseng, and the Great Elder of Leizhou Mountain, Hong Senmao, both looked surprised.

Lei Hongrui knitted his brows and reprimanded, “It seems that you’ve been cultivating too rashly lately.

The foundation of your Dark Energy is unstable, and yet you aspire to break through to that supreme existence—this is a case of more haste, less speed!

I don’t even dare to make a breakthrough yet, and here you are taking reckless risks—sheer folly!

Sit down quickly!”

“Yes, yes, yes…

The Sect Master’s reprimand is well deserved!”

Trembling with fear, Hou Qiwen bowed respectfully and hurriedly sat down.

Seeing Hou Qiwen’s unusual behavior, which differed from his usual comportment, everyone present, including Yaya and Zhuzhu, was full of confusion.

However.

What these people didn’t know was that because Lin Tian was seated behind, the moment Hou Qiwen sat down, he felt like he had thorns in his back, as if sitting on needles—and his heart was in turmoil, almost preferring to get up and flee immediately.

But, he couldn’t reveal that, for angering the person behind him could very well spell disaster for the entire Leizhou Mountain!

Behind him, Lin Tian didn’t pay any heed to Hou Qiwen.

A mere Sculpting Spirit Stage at its peak, even if it were one step away from performing a heaven-defying Foundation Establishment, was simply not worth his attention.

At this moment, on the auction stage, various ancient treasures had already been presented.

Then, the auctioneer Little Li suddenly became serious and said in a clear voice, “Ladies and gentlemen, the treasure that will appear next is extraordinary!

Therefore, we will only accept equivalent treasures or spirit stones in exchange!”

Hiss~~

At this declaration, many in the crowd drew in a sharp breath.

A treasure that required spirit stones for exchange had to be something special!

Spirit stones were considered the ultimate treasures used by the supreme beings of the Immortal Mountain Sect, and most cultivators from the lower sections had only heard of them and had never seen spirit stones.

Yet they all knew that these stones were as valuable as Immortal Treasures, utterly unattainable!

However, Ye Yuanshu, who was sitting at the very front with Long Zhentian, became visibly excited, his eyes blazing as he stared unblinkingly at the auction stage.

For Ye Yuanshu, apart from coming for Xi Zirong, participating in the auction for ancient treasures and seeking items to enhance his cultivation and strength was his other main goal.

Watching the reactions of the crowd below, Little Li smiled sweetly and gracefully lifted the red cloth on the tray brought by the maid, and with a charming smile said, “Ladies and gentlemen, please look!”

Everyone’s gaze had already been fixed on it, and what now lay in the tray was something white that coiled like a vine, resembling neither rope nor animal fur; it looked soft and shone with a glint of crystal.

What was this?

The people below were all baffled.

Even Wen Zheseng, the sect master of Xuanyang Sect, and Lei Hongrui, the sect master of Leizhou Mountain, looked bewildered.

Even Young Master Ye of Night Crying Island furrowed his brow, looking for a long time without discerning its purpose.

However, Lin Tian, who sat next to Yaya and Zhuzhu, suddenly had his eyes flash fiercely, his expression thrilled as he exclaimed inwardly, “A dragon whisker from a True Dragon!

To think it would appear here!

This is an unparalleled material for crafting Magical Treasures!

It seems that the Dragon Clan really did come to Earth!

This shows that Earth is not as simple as it seems on the surface!

I must obtain this dragon whisker!”

But how to bid for it?

He didn’t have any Spirit Stones nor sufficient treasures!

Lin Tian frowned in thought, then leaned over to Yaya and Zhuzhu, whispering, “Uhm, senior sisters, do you have any money on you?

Or any Spirit Stones?”

“What do you want to do?”

Yaya looked at him, her delicate brows furrowing in surprise.

Zhuzhu also looked puzzledly at Lin Tian.

“I want to bid for the item in front of us.

Do you have any Spirit Stones?

Or anything else for exchange!

I promise a generous reward for your help afterwards!”

Lin Tian pointed at the dragon whisker on the auction block and said with a fist salute.

“Have you lost your mind?

Just because you heard others mention Spirit Stones, do you think they grow on trees like cabbages?

And that object there, Young Master Ye is clearly determined to win it; don’t drag us into this!”

Yaya glared at Lin Tian, her voice filled with speechlessness.

Zhuzhu also shook her head, feeling that the young man in front of her might have something wrong with his brain.

“Young Master Ye can’t recognize this item either?”

Seeing the puzzled faces of everyone and noticing that even Young Master Ye was frowning in confusion, Little Li chuckled and asked.

“Miss Little Li, this treasure, indeed I do not recognize it!”

Young Master Ye shook his head slightly.

“Then let me introduce it to everyone!

This treasure is a dragon whisker left by the Dragon Clan, invaluable and priceless, beyond the measure of money!

It is a supreme material for treasure refinement, but unfortunately, we in Dragon Cry City cannot refine it.

In the end, we can only auction it off for Spirit Stones or other treasures!”

Little Li caressed the dragon whisker in front of her, a look of regret on her face, and smilingly added, “It seems that Young Master Ye, being from the Third-level Cultivation Realm, surely has a way to refine it.

Of course, if someone else can offer enough Spirit Stones, they can take it away too!”

Sitting next to Young Master Ye, Long Zhentian also felt regret.

Apart from the regret for the dragon whisker, he also lamented that this year’s Night Crying Island auction failed to invite more cultivators from Third-level Domains.

In previous years, there would be at least four or five people from Third-level Domain sects present, and even more from smaller domains.

However, it seemed this year the alliance was holding competitions across territories to select new talents, leaving no time to care about this event, and many sects were preparing instead of coming over.

Because in the past, items like the dragon whisker had never appeared, the Night Crying Island auction thus had an average level of attraction.

Fortunately, Long Zhentian had a card up his sleeve, holding back most treasures to continue to auction off next year!

Dragon whisker!

At that moment, the people below began to exclaim, but they could only watch with envy because with such a treasure, even if they had Spirit Stones, they wouldn’t dare to compete against Young Master Ye.

“Good!

What a fantastic treasure!

My Magical Treasure, there is hope for you yet!

I bid ten broken spirit stones!”

Young Master Ye stood up excitedly, laughing loudly.

The others below became silent.

“Hehe, as it seems, no one below has the Spirit stones daring to compete with Young Master Ye!”

Little Li shook her head and chuckled.

“A bunch of ants, they lack the courage!”

Young Master Ye stood with his hands behind his back, proudly declaring.

Little Li nodded her head in agreement, then said, “Since that’s the case, this treasure will go to…”

“Wait a moment!”

Suddenly, a voice rang out.

Everyone turned their heads to see Lin Tian standing up with a smile, speaking leisurely, “I bid one hundred top-grade Spirit Stones!

This item is mine!”

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Xi Zirong, along with Yaya Zhuzhu and others from Leizhou Mountain, Xuanyang Sect, and the crowd were all rendered speechless with disbelief.
