Behind him, the auctioneer frowned slightly. Given the mysterious power of the Feng Yan Union, this auctioneer was naturally no ordinary person, and had heard everything Wei Zhixuan said earlier.
Generally, as long as there was no trouble caused for the Feng Yan Union, he would not get involved in the matter. However, he had been instructed that any matters related to the Golden Pill Sect had to be reported, so the auctioneer did not dally. He quickly turned around and went to the inner hall. After going through the long passage, he stopped in front of a luxuriously decorated room.
The auctioneer knocked on the door and called out respectfully, “My lord, I have something to report.”
“Come in.”
“Greetings, my lord.” The auctioneer opened the door and bowed to an immensely overweight man.
This man was none other than Jin Buhuan, the one who had opened the door of convenience for Ling Chuxi.
“Speak—what is the matter?” Jin Buhuan used his chubby fingers to feed himself grapes, and nodded slightly at the auctioneer. It was clear that Jin Buhuan’s status was quite high, even within the Feng Yan Union in the Sacred Realm of Sects.
“A young man came to the auction just now…” The auctioneer told him everything, ending with the conversation between Wei Zhixuan and the young man.
“The Golden Pill Sect…” Jin Buhuan held a grape between his fingers, lost in thought.
“I’ll go check it out. There’s no need to concern yourself with this matter anymore.” After pondering for a moment, Jin Buhuan stood up and his figure disappeared in a flash.
The auctioneer stood there in a daze. When Jin Buhuan disappeared, he didn’t even feel a vibration in the air, as if the person before him had just been an illusion. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he never would have thought that the obese man who panted after just a few steps would have such a peculiar body cultivation skill!
“So strong!” The auctioneer whispered reverently. Fortunately, he had been very respectful towards Jin Buhuan earlier. Thinking of this, the auctioneer was once again puzzled. Although the Golden Pill Sect had once been one of the five great sects, the descendants of the Su family had long lost their prestige. Why would Jin Buhuan place so much importance on them?
However, the auctioneer did not know that what Jin Buhuan really valued was not the Golden Pill Sect, but rather, its sect master—Ling Chuxi.
…
In the Golden Pill Sect, everything had already been arranged.
To accompany them on the trip to the major sects, Su Yizhi had chosen Su Yanhua, Su Xiu’er, and Su Yanjin. Su Yanjin was the young man who had been injured by the Qiu family and fled back to Rejuvenation Valley. If it weren’t for Ling Chuxi’s timely actions, he would have been disabled by Jiang Wuhen’s treatment. Back then, Ling Chuxi had stabilized his injury and given him a Crisis Reverse Pill, so his injuries had long recovered.
The three of them had good talent and were the leaders of the younger generation of the Su family. Recently, they had made great progress in their cultivation, and they had been given the White Jade Crystal Hearts. They had broken through their bottlenecks, and were the most promising candidates among the younger generation to be promoted to the realm of True Essence.
For the convenience of the trip, Su Yizhi had specifically selected a few younger disciples, who were quick-witted and good at communicating and socializing, to be in charge of organizing the trip.
Ling Chuxi was, of course, accompanied by Ling Yichen, Baili Han, and Lan Xinyu. Their cultivation and innate talent were better than those of the Su family disciples, and the experience would greatly benefit them.
