The parts of Peng Lai that were damaged by Wang Lin's War Spirit Print were quickly repaired by the cultivators of the Peng Lai Sect in just two short days.
In just two short days, the number of cultivators and spirit stones spent had reached a high level. When the auction began, Peng Lai had recovered to its original state.
Peng Lai's auction was the most important event in the city. The items being auctioned were all very valuable. Many old monsters came to Peng Lai for this auction.
The auction was at the square at the center of Peng Lai's main city. Not everyone could participate in this auction; only those with an invitation could enter.
There was a large amount of Treasure Jade Sect cultivators surrounding the square to prevent outsiders from entering.
As the auction was about to begin, all the old monsters from the various sects came and entered with a jade.
Wang Lin was also interested in Peng Lai's auction, so he calmly flew toward the main city.
Along the way, all the cultivators that saw Wang Lin would respectfully clasp their hands.
In these two days, almost everyone remembered Wang Lin's appearance, and no one dared to offend him.
Shortly after, Wang Lin arrived at the main city. The cultivators of the Treasure Jade Sect could prevent anyone from entering without an invitation. However, when they saw Wang Lin, their hearts trembled and they all moved out of the way. They didn't dare to check if there was an invitation at all.
Outside the square, there were nearly 100 cultivators floating within 10,000 feet. Most of them were Nirvana Scryer and Nirvana Cleanser cultivators; there weren't many Nirvana Shatterer cultivators.
Wang Lin's arrival immediately caught the attention of these cultivators. They all clasped their hands and some even went up to talk. Wang Lin was very calm when dealing with these people. His gaze swept past the crowd and he saw Li Qianmei in the distance.
Noticing Wang Lin's gaze, Li Qianmei smiled. Her eyes were as bright as the stars.
The moment Wang Lin entered the square, an old man wearing a red robe arrived with four middle-aged cultivators. When he saw Wang Lin, he clasped his hands and said, "It is the honor of my Treasure Jade Sect for Fellow Cultivator Lu to come to our auction."
Wang Lin knew this red-robed old man. He was one of the people that had come to visit him in the past few days, and he represented the Treasured Jade Sect.
"So it's Elder Cao." Wang Lin smiled and clasped his hands.
The red-robed old man's expression was very polite. He didn't dare to underestimate this young man in white; he even felt a bit of dread. When he thought about Wu Qing's death, his mind trembled.
When he came to visit Wang Lin on behalf of the Treasure Jade Sect, he clearly felt that Wang Lin's way of talking was extraordinary. The calmness and calmness in Wang Lin's voice, as well as the faint feeling that he was hallucinating when he looked into Wang Lin's eyes, all of this shocked him.
Afterward, he told all of this to the sect master. The Treasure Jade Sect's sect master pondered for a long time before giving the order that no disciple of the Treasure Jade Sect could offend this person.
"Whether this person is a member of the God Sect or not has nothing to do with my Treasure Jade Sect. Even if he isn't, just the fact that he easily killed Wu Qing is enough for him to receive this much respect."
The red-robed old man chatted with Wang Lin for a while before looking at the sky. He smiled at Wang Lin and said, "Fellow Lu, the auction is about to begin. If you have anything you want to auction, you have to hurry."
Wang Lin pondered for a bit. He did have a few items he wanted to auction in order to get as many origin crystals as possible. When he heard this, he smiled and said, "That's fine. I have two treasures I want to auction."
"Oh?
Treasures that Fellow Lu is willing to take out must be extraordinary. "The red-robed old man revealed an interested expression.
Wang Lin didn't say anything. He raised his right hand and grabbed at the air. A crack to his storage space appeared and two items surrounded by black light flew out toward the red-robed old man.
The old man's eyes lit up and he looked at Wang Lin. His expression didn't change. He could see that there were restrictions on the two treasures, so he didn't use his divine sense to check them. He let the gazes of the surrounding cultivators gather on him. After they saw the appearance of the items, he put them away.
Wang Lin looked at the red-robed old man with a smile that wasn't a smile and clasped his hands.
The old man coughed and softly said, "Old Man, please send these two items to the elder in charge of the auction. Fellow Lu can rest assured." With that, he clasped his hands and left.
"This old man is an interesting person." Wang Lin's gaze swept past the old man's back.
After the red-robed old man left, cultivators came up to chat with Wang Lin. Among them were the white-robed scholar and the beautiful woman from Master Ashen Pine's private gathering.
The three of them were not strangers to each other. After a moment of polite conversation, the ground of the square suddenly shook. For a moment, the surroundings became quiet, and the shaking of the ground became even more intense. After a short while, the ground around the square cracked, and sixteen huge stone tablets rose from the ground!
These 16 giant stone steles rose up from the ground and slowly stopped when they reached a height of 1,000 feet. Shortly after, the stone steles were surrounded by light.
At the same time, the ground around the 16 stone steles continued to tremble. More than 40 smaller stone steles broke out from the ground and stopped when they reached a height of 800 feet.
This wasn't the end. Outside the 40 stone steles, nearly 100 more stone steles that were about 500 feet tall appeared. They formed a large stone stele formation!
This wasn't the first time the surrounding cultivators had participated in an auction, so they weren't surprised by this. They scattered and sat down on the stone steles according to their cultivation level and status.
Wang Lin's expression was calm as he stepped forward and sat down on one of the 16 stone steles at the front.
No one was surprised that he was able to sit here; it was only natural.
Looking around, the cultivators sitting on the stone steles were all Nirvana Shatterer old monsters. Wang Lin knew most of them. After most of the cultivators were seated, a delicate figure arrived next to Wang Lin's stone stele. Li Qianmei winked at Wang Lin and quietly sat down beside him.
After sitting down, Li Qianmei softly said, as if she was talking to herself, "I'm going to leave."
She sat next to Wang Lin. At this moment, the wind blew by, causing Li Qianmei's hair to flutter. A few strands landed on Wang Lin's face, and a fragrance came from her body and clearly entered Wang Lin's nose.
The fragrance was very light, just like Li Qianmei's calmness. It could calm people down.
At this moment, the auction had already begun. The person responsible for the auction was a square-faced old man from the Precious Jade Sect. He floated above the square, and the first item to be auctioned was a bell-like treasure with many fierce beasts carved on it.
Noticing that her hair had landed on Wang Lin's face, Li Qianmei's face turned red. She quickly pulled her hair away and casually tied it up.
"When?"
Wang Lin didn't look at Li Qianmei. He looked at the elder in charge of the Precious Jade Sect talking about the effect of the treasure in his hand.
Li Qianmei softly said, "I'll leave after the auction." Her gaze fell on the sky in the distance. No one knew what she was thinking.
Wang Lin calmly said, "I'll send you off."
At this moment, the bell had already been bought, so the elder from the Precious Jade Sect took out the second item. It was a pill.
Li Qianmei revealed a gentle smile. She turned around and looked at Wang Lin with her bright eyes. She softly asked, "How are you going to send me off?
Are you going to send me away from Peng Lai … "
"OK." Wang Lin nodded. He still didn't look at Li Qianmei.
Li Qianmei looked at the side of Wang Lin's face. After thinking for a bit, she softly said, "Or are you going to send me to the rank 9 region?"
Wang Lin silently pondered and didn't speak.
"Or are you going to send me to the Demon Sect and fight with me against the fierce beasts?" Li Qianmei's voice was very beautiful. It was like the sound of a flute that lingered in Wang Lin's ears.
Wang Lin still silently pondered.
Li Qianmei turned around, looked into the distance, and let out a sigh.
At that moment, the second item was also sold, and the old man from the Treasured Jade Sect took out the third item. It was a painting. There were no mountains on it, only rivers and lakes. The rolling waves were vivid and lifelike.
Li Qianmei silently pondered for a long time and softly said, "Originally, I wouldn't leave so quickly. There are still some things I need to confirm, but yesterday, Teacher sent a message saying that the number of fierce beasts in the Demon Sect has increased … All the disciples of the rank 9 sects have to rush over to help.
I don't know when I'll be able to return … "Li Qianmei was silent for a long time before she softly said.
Wang Lin slowly said, "I hope you have a safe trip."
"I didn't help you in your battle with Wu Qing because …" Li Qianmei hesitated for a bit, but she was interrupted by Wang Lin.
Wang Lin calmly said, "I understand."
Li Qianmei looked at Wang Lin, and after a moment, she softly said, "Do you really understand …"
Wang Lin didn't answer but looked at the painting in the Precious Jade Sect elder's hand. The surrounding cultivators continued to bid. After pondering a bit, his voice spread.
"This painting, I want it."
After he spoke, the surrounding bidders all stopped. They all looked at Wang Lin and no longer bid.
No one dared to compete with Wang Lin. Everyone already knew about Wu Qing's death. Aside from greed, there was another reason for Wu Qing's death. It was because he raised the price to compete with this fiend for the treasure.
Wang Lin's right hand reached out and took the painting from the Precious Jade Sect elder's hand. He opened it, looked at it, then put it away. For the first time, he turned to look at Li Qianmei's beautiful face and calm eyes.
"For you!" Wang Lin handed over the painting.
Li Qianmei pondered for a long time before revealing a smile. She took the painting, pursed her lips, stood up, and softly said, "If you find the person my Heaven Breaking Sect is looking for, please tell him that the Heaven Breaking Sect invites you."
After she finished speaking, she no longer looked at Wang Lin. Her body was like a dancing butterfly as she slowly floated into the air. Her black hair instantly turned into a stunning blue, and under the gazes of the surrounding cultivators, she gradually left.
She still held the painting in her hand.
"Forget each other in the world … Is that so …"
