Seeking Immortality In The Cultivation World

Lin Xiu hid in the auction house, scratching his head and trying to break the seal and escape.

If he knew everything that happened in the courtyard, he would understand why Ji Ning mentioned several times that he could temporarily take refuge in her building when in danger.

Unfortunately, he arrived late when Wu Yifeng attacked.

Li Yingxue, being a martial arts practitioner who never bends, never thought of hiding. Instead, she drew her sword and attacked.

The situation happened by chance.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have gotten involved with the unexpected trouble of the Endless Pleasure Sect.

Three days later.

Wen Renqing, who had already resigned himself to his fate, tried almost every method he knew to remove the prohibition, but ended up sulking in a corner.

The good impression he had just built up with Lin Xiu turned into a negative one.

Looking at his wife, who was constantly improving her cultivation, Lin Xiu gritted his teeth and took out the voice transmission talisman from Hong Jie.

The big battle was imminent. If they couldn't escape from Qian Jue Peak before then, relying solely on the defensive formation of the auction house would be very unreliable.

Moreover, there were many people who knew how to enter and exit this place, and no one could guarantee that others wouldn't come in to avoid disaster.

There were more smart people than just him.

"Hong Jie, are you busy? Can you help me with a small favor?" he asked in a somewhat cheeky tone.

Seemingly forgetting that this Nascent Soul old monster, who had a mountain-like presence, had thrown him into a secret realm.

After sending the message, he thought he would have to wait a long time.

But unexpectedly, he received a response immediately.

"I'm busy! You little thief, you actually used my sect's treasure to kill the third son of Wu Tiance from the Endless Pleasure Sect. They've come to my Qian Jie Men for revenge!"

What?

Lin Xiu believed that when he used the "Profound Heaven Sealing Immortal Circle," he was extremely careful and concealed his actions, fearing that he would reveal any flaws.

Moreover, since that thing had devoured countless Law Weapon treasures, its appearance had changed significantly.

According to reason, this shouldn't have happened, right?

The tracking technique of the big sect was really extraordinary, to the point where they could even figure this out?

His fear of this kind of technique deepened.

Little did he know that this was entirely because Hong Jie had set up the "Void Demon Shadow" formation in Ji Ning's building, which was discovered by Wu Tiance.

The jade slip trembled again.

"Don't blame sister for being heartless. It's just that the sect leader has a very bad impression of you and ordered me not to help you. However, for Ning'er's sake, I suggest you hide in the underground auction house of the Treasure Pavilion. The defensive formation there is still good."

Lin Xiu: ...

Although Hong Jie's suggestion was a bit late, it still warmed his heart.

He played with the flying boat in his hand, tossing it up and down, and casually placed it on the platform used for auctions in the early spring.

Looking around at the empty seats, he cleared his throat.

"White Jade Flying Boat, third-grade Treasure Weapon. If anyone can break the seal, I am willing to offer ten high-grade spirit stones as thanks!"

This was an occasional segment in the auction.

Often, when someone couldn't unlock a certain technique, they would seek help from the participants by offering a reward from the residual inheritance of a demonic beast on a demonic bone.

Although Li Yingxue understood the seriousness of the situation, she secretly smiled.

From Lin Xiu's disappearance for a month, to being kidnapped by the Endless Pleasure Sect, and now hiding in this place, her heart had never relaxed.

But now, even though they were still in danger, her husband was by her side.

That was enough.

Even if it meant dying in the end.

Wen Renqing rolled his eyes at him.

"I heard that Lin Shidi is almost fifty years old, right?"

Lin Xiu chuckled.

"Wen Ren Shimei, a man is forever young until death!"

Wen Renqing: ?

Lin Xiu casually picked up the auction hammer on the platform and lightly tapped it.

"Eleven high-grade spirit stones, does any Fellow Daoist want to bid?"

"Twelve!"

...

"Fifteen, if no one else bids, I'm out!"

"I'll take this job!"

A fourth voice suddenly sounded, echoing in the venue!

Lin Xiu was startled and looked around.

The two women instinctively moved to his side. Li Yingxue had already unsheathed her sword and protected her husband in front of her.

But they couldn't see anyone.

Lin Xiu immediately put the flying boat into his storage ring, his face alert.

"What kind of sneaky person is lurking around? Come out and compete with me!"

"Squeak, squeak~"

Suddenly, the auction platform in front of them lowered, causing the three of them to quickly retreat to the edge of the venue.

A hole was revealed there.

Soon after, a man ascended from it and smiled slightly at him.

"Master Lin, we meet again!"

A spring bud-patterned gold paper fan.

An exquisite robe embroidered with willow branch patterns.

Long flowing hair...

Lin Xiu blinked hard.

Isn't this Gu Jin Qi, the lickspittle?

Sure enough, there were smart people other than himself, and this guy had even hidden here in advance.

Curiously, he glanced at the dark hole.

Lin Xiu bowed respectfully.

"So it's Senior Gu, I'm truly excited to see you here!"

He really wanted to ask,

Why didn't you leave with Chu Chun? But wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.

Gu Jin Qi casually displayed his paper fan, shrugged his shoulders,

"No choice, the task here isn't finished yet, and I can't defy my master's orders. Otherwise, who would want to hide in a hole like a rat?"

Then he wore a pained expression on his face,

"Oh Chun'er, I don't know when I'll see you again!"

His tone was full of resentment.

Ew~

The three of them involuntarily shivered, unable to bear his lickspittle appearance.

Gu Jin Qi seemed oblivious and extended his palm forward,

"I didn't want to bother with you guys, but making a little profit on the side wouldn't hurt, fifteen top-grade spirit stones!"

Lin Xiu was overjoyed and hurriedly ran over, handing over the spirit stones and the flying boat with both hands.

Over the years, he had become quite familiar with this person.

This person came from the distant Spirit Kingdom and had no connection with the various sects here, no conflicts of interest.

Even though there were elements of showing off, his character was extremely solid.

Gu Jin Qi smiled and put away the spirit stones, picked up the flying boat and shook it casually, then returned it to Lin Xiu.

"This deal is not bad, made a quick profit with the spirit stones!"

"Thank you, Senior Gu!"

Lin Xiu's mouth twitched.

Indeed, he made a quick profit!

In the blink of an eye, he had broken the restrictions on the flying boat. What's the difference between that and robbing money?

But who made him a rare breed of formation master?

Gu Jin Qi clapped his hands, turned around, and walked towards the hole,

"Here's a suggestion, if you go out now, you'll probably be mistaken for a spy and captured. It's up to you to be clever enough after the war starts!"

After saying that, he jumped into the rat hole. As the platform was about to cover the hole, a disc was thrown out.

"Don't take advantage of the younger generation, here's the 'Golden Light Barrier Formation' for you to play with!"

Lin Xiu held the formation disc in his hands, feeling a mix of complex emotions.

Actually, he really wanted to ask again,

Is this hole big enough for you?

Isn't it boring to be alone?

Don't mind if the three of us squeeze in, right?

Can someone keep you company and chat to pass the time?

He carefully weighed Gu Jin Qi's suggestion.

At this moment, Ping'an Market was the place where major sects collected Independent Cultivators as cannon fodder.

It would be difficult to sneak out unnoticed.

As for himself, it was still possible.

Whether it was with the "Size-changing Ruyi" or the "Heavenly Gang Transformation," as long as he adapted on the fly, there was a good chance of escaping the market.

But the other two could only stay in this dangerous place.

Looking at the formation disc in his hand, it seemed to be a second-grade top-quality item. He owed Gu Jin Qi a big favor.

Just as he hesitated, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I've been thinking about the flying boat these days, how could I forget about it?"

With that in mind, he flipped his hand,

A snow-white pearl appeared in his palm.

"Jiao Pearl Space!"
