Chapter 41: The Beautiful Woman Yue Ling

  Yunwu Mountain, this is what the locals call a nearby mountain that is always shrouded in clouds and mist. According to the elderly, Yunwu Mountain was not called by this name before, but about 300 years ago, for some reason, it was always covered by a layer of cloud and mist, and gradually people started calling it Yunwu Mountain.

  Lin Tianyang was standing at the waist of Yunwu Mountain at this time. In the past, it was a hundred feet away, where the fog enveloped.

  Just as he was about to walk through the fog, a flash of light appeared behind him, revealing the figure of an emaciated old man.

  That old man looked up and down at Lin Tianyang, cupped his hands and said: "I'm Ke Dongfeng, it's nice to meet you, fellow Taoist. You look unfamiliar, I suppose this is your first time attending the Yunwu Mountain auction?"

  Lin Tianyang saw that the old man with the surname Ke was also a cultivator in the foundation-building stage, and smiled as he clasped his fists: "I've only recently started building my foundation, so it's normal if you find me unfamiliar, fellow Daoist."

  "It turns out that it's a newly established Daoist friend, and looking at the Daoist friend's age, it seems that he's not very old either. I'm afraid he's really not even thirty years old yet? He's truly awe-inspiring!" Ke Dongfeng looked up and down Lin Tianyang with some envy and said.

  Lin Tianyang smiled faintly and said: "I'm just lucky too!"

  "Luck is also a part of one's strength, fellow Taoist, no need to be so modest!" Ke Dongfeng said with a smile.

  Lin Tianyang listened and smiled slightly, then asked: "Earlier, fellow Taoist mentioned an auction, I wonder what kind of auction it is?"

  Ke Dongfeng was surprised and said: "Fellow Taoist, you didn't come for the auction?"

  Lin Tianyang immediately smiled and clasped his fists, saying: "I've just come here to sell some things that I didn't use before!"

  "It turns out that way, but since you're here, it's also your luck. This Cloud and Mist Mountain holds an auction for Foundation Building cultivators every year. As long as you're a Foundation Building cultivator, you can enter with someone's introduction. I'm fortunate to have met you here, so I can be your introducer. Every auction has many good things appearing, and since you've just built your foundation, if you have enough spirit stones, this is not a bad opportunity."

  "Ke Daoyou is so polite, thank you very much, I don't know when the auction will start?" Lin Tianyang asked again.

  Ke Dongfeng saw that Lin Tianyang did not refuse his good intentions, and a smile appeared on his face: "Tomorrow we will begin, at the Cloud Mist Pavilion in Fang City. Fellow Daoist, if you want to go, why don't you come with me?"

  Lin Tianyang thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, fellow Taoist!"

  Along with Ke Dongfeng, they entered the Yunwu Mountain Town. Along the way, Ke Dongfeng very kindly introduced Lin Tianyang to the situation in Yunwu Mountain Town. Before long, the two arrived at a place similar to an inn.

  Ke Dongfeng directly revealed his identity as a Foundation Establishment cultivator and immediately obtained a free room. It was only then that Lin Tianyang realized that the auction house had specially provided a resting room for the Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to participate in the auction.

  Lin Tianyang, thanks to Ke Dongfeng's introduction, also got a room. However, Lin Tianyang didn't rest there and instead came directly to the largest store in the area, Yunwu Pavilion, after hearing Ke Dongfeng's introduction.

  As soon as he entered the Cloud Mist Pavilion, a fellow with a cultivation level of only Qi Refining stage 5 or 6 came over to greet him. Lin Tianyang simply released a hint of his Foundation Establishment stage spiritual power fluctuations, and that fellow immediately showed a surprised expression. After Lin Tianyang briefly explained his intentions, he was promptly invited to the upper floor's elegant room to rest, where he was also served a cup of spiritual tea.

  The steaming tea was still emitting hot air, when a beautiful woman in her twenties, dressed in palace attire, walked in and immediately paid respects to Lin Tianyang, saying: "I am Yue Ling, the owner of Yunwu Pavilion. I've kept you waiting for so long!"

  Lin Tianyang looked at the woman named Yue Ling and found that she was also a foundation-building cultivator, and her cultivation was obviously deeper than his own. She had already reached the middle stage of cultivation. He immediately apologized politely: "It's Miss Yue, I'll sit down now!"

  Yue Ling sat down in the chair beside Lin Tianyang with a warm smile, and a teenage girl immediately presented her with a cup of spiritual tea. Only then did Yue Ling ask: "Just now, I heard the shop assistant say that Lin Dao friend seems to have many things he wants to sell to our pavilion, and there are also two magical instruments that will be auctioned off?"

  Although Yue Ling looked like she was only in her twenties, Lin Tianyang could sense from her eyes that this woman was probably much older than himself. However, the cultivation method she practiced had an anti-aging effect, so it wasn't visible. At this time, hearing her direct inquiry, Lin Tianyang also smiled and said: "That's right, everything is here, take a look, Yue Xianzi!"

  Lin Tianyang directly threw out a storage bag, and Yue Ling took it over. After scanning the contents with her divine sense, she raised an eyebrow and said: "Lin fellow Daoist, most of the items in here are things used by Qi Refining stage cultivators. Although there's quite a number of them, the price our sect is willing to pay might not be very high!"

  Lin Tianyang knew that selling everything at once would result in some small losses, but for him, these few pieces of spirit stone no longer held much significance. What was most important was saving himself the time and trouble of reselling items. Of course, this was also why Lin Tianyang had only sold so many things all at once now that he had established his foundation; otherwise, he would have preferred to sell them slowly to avoid getting into unnecessary trouble.

  Lin Tianyang expressionlessly said: "Yue Xianzi, name a price!"

  Yue Ling saw that Lin Tianyang didn't seem to care about this, and instead felt that this Lin person was not simple. So he said: "All together, how about 5,400 spirit stones?"

  Lin Tianyang heard her quote and found it to be slightly higher than he had imagined, so he also stopped haggling with her and immediately said: "Okay, since that's the case, let's go with this price!"

  Seeing Lin Tianyang being so generous, Yue Ling was even more certain that this Lin surname cultivator wasn't simple. After giving Lin Tianyang a storage bag filled with spirit stones, she smiled and asked: "Lin fellow daoist, next can you let me take a look at the items you're preparing to auction? I'll also appraise them for you!"

  Lin Tianyang smiled faintly and patted his storage bag. A turtle shell shield and a fish fork appeared before the two of them.

  These two pieces of equipment were obtained by Lin Tianyang when he first entered the fourth floor of Tongtian Tower, and since they are both high-grade equipment, they weren't put together with those other things. After all, participating in an auction would definitely yield a higher price than selling them directly to the store.

  Yue Ling raised her hand, and after carefully examining the two artifacts for a while, she finally spoke up: "Lin fellow Daoist, these two are both high-grade artifacts, and they will definitely be eligible to participate in this auction. Especially this Turtle Shell Shield, it's extremely sturdy, I believe it can fetch a good price. However, all items participating in the auction, our pavilion will collect a 50% fee, Lin fellow Daoist doesn't have any objections, does he?"

  Lin Tianyang had heard Ke Dongfeng mention it before, so he smiled and said: "This Lin already knows, just leave these two things here!"

  "Alright! Lin Daoyou is indeed a straightforward person, in that case, let's directly sign a contract!" Yue Ling's hand opened, and a black, talisman-like object appeared in her hand.

  "Blood contract of the demon heart!" Lin Tianyang shouted out as soon as he saw it.

  PS: The third watch, asking everyone to collect it!
