"The origin crystals are the Old Man's personal belongings. Do I have to report it to your Miluo Sect?"
An ancient voice echoed as a ray of light closed in from the distance and landed next to Ouyang Long. It was Master Ashen Pine.
The young man in yellow coldly snorted and said, "35,000 origin crystals!"
"40,000!"
Master Ashen Pine's expression was neutral and extremely calm, as if 40,000 origin crystals were really insignificant to him.
This abnormal scene was immediately noticed by the surrounding cultivators. They all looked at Master Ashen Pine with shock in their eyes.
As the head elder of the Treasured Jade Sect, Master Ashen Pine didn't even care about the Treasure Sect's sect master. He also had many direct disciples that were enough to fight against the Treasure Sect's sect master, but he was very low-key. As a result, the Treasure Sect's sect master didn't ask about Master Ashen Pine secretly buying celestial jades and possessing a large amount of origin crystals.
The young man in yellow stared at Master Ashen Pine and clenched his teeth. "50,000 origin crystals!"
Master Ashen Pine sneered. He didn't care about revealing that he had a large amount of origin crystals. Even if it aroused suspicion and the attention of the upper rank regions, he didn't care. After today, he would leave and probably never return to Peng Lai again. Not to mention, he had great confidence in going there. Once he succeeded, his cultivation level would increase greatly, so what was there to be afraid of?
Master Ashen Pine had his hands behind his back and calmly said, "60,000!"
"You!!" The young man in yellow took a deep breath. A moment later, he was about to make a bid.
"70,000!"
Master Ashen Pine coldly looked at the young man in yellow and suddenly smiled. "Your Miluo Sect didn't send many people. The route to the rank 7 region is long, so you have to be careful on the way back."
The surroundings instantly became extremely quiet. Everyone's gazes fell on Master Ashen Pine. It was extremely rare for someone to dare to threaten someone from the rank 7 region!
"What kind of trump card does this Master Ashen Pine have to dare to do this!?"
The young man in yellow looked at Master Ashen Pine, and after a long time, he let out a cold snort. He turned into a ray of light and disappeared over the horizon.
Master Ashen Pine's expression was neutral as he clasped his hands at Wang Lin and threw out a bag of holding. His right hand reached at the void and grabbed the armor. After carefully looking at it, he revealed a smile.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, the deposit is also in the storage bag. It's a total of 80,000 Origin Crystals. Shall we go?"
Wang Lin took the bag of holding, scanned it with his divine sense, and put it away without batting an eyelid. This Master Ashen Pine's cultivation was profound, and he was very experienced. He was a ruthless person.
However, no matter how smart this person was, he couldn't compare to Tian Yunzi. Wang Lin had even fought against Tian Yunzi, so how could he be afraid of a mere Master Ashen Pine?
Wang Lin nodded slightly and stepped forward. He turned into a ray of light and flew into the sky. Master Ashen Pine laughed and flew forward with Wang Lin. In an instant, they disappeared into the distance.
Because of this, the crowd was no longer in the mood to continue with the auction, and they all left.
After leaving Peng Lai, Wang Lin and Master Ashen Pine moved very fast through the star fog. Just at this moment, the sound of a flute echoed through the star fog.
In the distance, the star fog churned and the blue-haired Li Qianmei slowly walked out. She looked at Wang Lin and revealed a smile.
Wang Lin stopped and pondered a bit. Then he slowly said to Master Ashen Pine, "Fellow Daoist Lu, go first. I'll go later."
Master Ashen Pine faintly smiled and handed a jade to Wang Lin. "Fellow Daoist Lu, come to the place marked on the star map. The Old Man and a few old friends will be waiting there."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Qianmei, clasped his hands, and quickly disappeared into the star fog. He wasn't worried that Wang Lin wouldn't go.
Wang Lin looked at Li Qianmei. After pondering a bit, he calmly said, "Didn't you leave? Why did you come back?"
Li Qianmei blinked and softly said, "I was about to leave, but I suddenly remembered that you said you would send me off."
Wang Lin frowned and said, "I'll just send you off here … With your cultivation, there shouldn't be too much danger there, but you still have to be careful."
Li Qianmei shook her head and softly said, "Who knows? Perhaps once I leave, we will never see each other again … From Teacher's tone, this beast riot seems to be a bit serious."
Wang Lin silently pondered.
Seeing that Wang Lin didn't speak, Li Qianmei frowned. She looked at Wang Lin and let out a sigh.
"That Master Ashen Pine's actions are very secretive. I originally planned to go with you …" Li Qianmei bit her lower lip as she looked at Wang Lin and took off a green bracelet from her right hand.
"You answered three of my questions before, and we agreed to give you an item for each question. I haven't given you the item for the third question.
This item is a protective treasure. Keep it to protect yourself. "Li Qianmei handed the bracelet to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin looked at Li Qianmei with a complicated expression. He took the bracelet and found that there was still a trace of Li Qianmei's warmth on it. He shook his head and returned it to Li Qianmei.
Li Qianmei looked at Wang Lin and calmly asked, "Why don't you want it?"
"It's too valuable, I can't afford it.
If there is nothing else, then I'll take my leave. "As Wang Lin spoke, he clasped his hands at Li Qianmei and was about to leave.
Li Qianmei's expression was calm as she threw the jade bracelet to the side. The bracelet turned into a ray of green light and disappeared into the fog.
"Since you don't want it, I don't want it either."
Wang Lin silently pondered as he looked at Li Qianmei.
"Since you don't want my item, then you can take back this scroll." Li Qianmei waved her hand and a scroll appeared in her hand. She handed it to Wang Lin.
Li Qianmei calmly said, "The world in this painting is very beautiful, but it lacks a bit of vitality. I also drew a few lines on it."
After taking the scroll, Wang Lin didn't open it. Instead, after pondering for a bit, his right hand reached out. A crack to his storage space appeared before him and a ray of golden light flew out.
It landed in Wang Lin's hand and the golden light dissipated, turning back into a brush.
Holding the brush, Wang Lin waved it and a rune appeared. His right hand didn't stop and continued to draw on the rune. It wasn't until the rune became extremely complicated that he stopped.
"This brush is a celestial treasure. If you use it with these runes, with your cultivation level, you should be able to unleash its full power!" Wang Lin let go of the brush. Golden light surrounded the brush and it slowly floated in the air.
Without looking at Li Qianmei, Wang Lin turned into a ray of light and left.
"Answer my three questions. I won't let you run away."
Li Qianmei revealed a smile as she looked in the direction Wang Lin disappeared. She picked up the flute, placed it next to her mouth, and slowly played it.
The sound of the flute was faint and echoed in the fog … In the distance, Wang Lin heard the sound of the flute. He looked at the scroll in his hand and opened it. The rivers and lakes were no longer there and had become dry. On the river, there were two fish stuck together, helping each other.
Wang Lin frowned and revealed a bitter smile. He put away the scroll and gradually left, accompanied by the sound of the flute.
After a long time, Li Qianmei put down the flute and waved her jade-like hand. The golden brush flew into her hand and she slowly walked away … According to the star map Master Ashen Pine had given him, Wang Lin moved like lightning through the fog. However, a moment later, he stopped and stared ahead.
Not far away from him, there was a flash of green light. It was a jade bracelet floating there.
Not only Wang Lin, but even Li Qianmei hadn't expected her casual toss of the jade bracelet to be in the same direction as Wang Lin's star map.
Even so, the fog was extremely vast. Finding the jade bracelet in one direction was like finding a needle in a haystack.
After silently looking at the jade bracelet for a long time, Wang Lin's right hand reached at the void and the jade bracelet landed in his hand. He let out a sigh and quickly flew away.
In the fog not far from Peng Lai in the rank 5 region, there was a very small wild continent. There weren't many fierce beasts on it, and it was rare for cultivators to come here.
But right now, there were three cultivators sitting cross-legged on the road of the Wildlands.
"Master Ashen Pine, the location of that place is our greatest secret. Why do you want that person Lu to go with you?"
The person who spoke was an old man with a face full of scars. He was the person that Master Ashen Pine had met with Wang Lin at his private gathering.
Master Ashen Pine was sitting there. His expression was neutral as he calmly said, "This person can use the War Spirit Print. With him, the Old Man's chance of success will increase by 20%!
In addition, I'll have to trouble Fellow Cultivator Zhao to open the way. Once the matter is done, according to our agreement, Fellow Cultivator Zhao can choose three items first! "
Master Ashen Pine's gaze fell on the other person. This person was also someone Wang Lin was familiar with. It was the old woman in green.
The old woman in green said in a hoarse voice, "This old woman will do her best."
At that moment, the fog on the Savage Continent that was shrouded by the fog tumbled about, and a piercing laughter reverberated in the air. The fog abruptly moved in all directions, and an old man dressed in a black and white Daoist robe with a Daoist crown on his head walked out of the fog. With just a few steps, he arrived beside the trio as if the ground had shrunk to an inch.
As soon as the old man walked out, a thick stench of blood filled the air. There were countless ghosts hidden in the fog behind him. Occasionally, they would reveal their heads and let out soundless screams.
"Master Ashen Pine, the Old Man encountered an enemy along the way and came a bit late." The old man's face was extremely pale, but his eyes were bright and revealed a gloomy light.
"Master Cloud Soul!" When the old man with the face full of scars saw the person with the crown, his eyes immediately narrowed.
The old man's face twitched and he revealed a gloomy smile. "Fellow Cultivator Pang, we meet again." After he finished speaking, he looked at the old woman in green before his gaze landed on Master Ashen Pine.
"Master Ashen Pine, is it just the four of us this time?"
"Three more!
Master Ashen Pine licked his lips and slowly said, "They should be arriving soon."
As soon as he finished speaking, the fog in front of him rippled again, and a person walked out from it.
Dressed in white, his black hair fluttering in the wind, and a cold look in his eyes, Wang Lin walked through the fog and looked at the four people in front of him.
"Nirvana Cleanser junior?
Master Ashen Pine, you're letting a Nirvana Cleanser junior participate in this? "Master Cloud Soul frowned.
"He is not a Nirvana Cleanser!" Master Ashen Pine smiled.
"Oh?"
Master Cloud Soul's eyes lit up. As Wang Lin closed in, he waved his right hand and the countless ghosts behind him charged at Wang Lin.
