Ten months later, Pei Yun put down her cultivation and came out of seclusion. She first went to Lingjian Peak. As expected, Luo Rufeng was still in seclusion. She did not disturb him. After saying hello to He Zhidao and Sect Master Mu, she got up alone and headed for Tianbao City...

Duanmu Xu and others arrived in Tianbao City a month earlier. As soon as Pei Yun arrived, Duanmu Xu received the news and greeted her at the city gate.

For convenience, Duanmu Xu has rented a guest house. He told Pei Yun: "...Before the treasure hunt event begins, Baolin Pavilion will hold an auction in the city. We can go and see it together in a few days..."

Pei Yun nodded. At this time, Ling Ziyan brought two young people, a man and a woman, to her and introduced them: "... This is Pei Yun, the elder of Yunshan Sect, and also our companion in participating in the treasure hunt event this time... Pei Yun, this is Bai Chengming, and this is Xu Moshuang, both of them are disciples of Lingyao Sect..." Pei Yun bowed to the two of them.

Bai Chengming and Duanmu Xu are about the same age, and both have reached the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. Bai Chengming even calls Duanmu Xu and the others' master "Uncle Master". The three of them have always had a good relationship, so after getting this opportunity, Duanmu Xu and the others immediately invited Bai Chengming, and Bai Chengming gladly agreed.

The three of them were not very familiar with Xu Moshuang, Senior Sister Xu and Duanmu Xu. Duanmu Xu and Ling Ziyan had originally planned to invite Pei Yun and Luo Rufeng, but Luo Rufeng was in seclusion, and there were five places for one token. In line with the principle of not wasting, Duanmu Xu issued a task within the Lingyao Sect. Xu Moshuang took the task, and after meeting the requirements of Duanmu Xu and the others, she teamed up with them.

Xu Moshuang also has the cultivation level of the early stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. The Lingyao Sect is one of the top five sects in Dongcangzhou. There are millions of disciples under the sect, including quite a few disciples at the Spirit Transformation Realm. There are also quite a few unknown and not-so-famous disciples like Xu Moshuang.

When Duanmu Xu issued the task, he deliberately set the cultivation level at the early stage of the Spirit Transformation. After all, if the cultivation level was too high, it might seize the initiative and cause internal discord within the team, while if the cultivation level was too low, it would hinder the team.

Bai Chengming had a cheerful personality. He picked up the teacup in his hand, looked at Pei Yun and complimented him, "Fellow Daoist Pei, you bravely entered the Demon Cave and defeated the talented disciples of the Extreme Sword Sect and the Xianlan Sect. I admire you very much..."

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Bai. It was just luck." Pei Yun smiled modestly.

Xu Moshuang had a rather cold personality and was taciturn. She had never heard of Pei Yun's deeds, but after hearing what Bai Chengming said, she couldn't help but look up at Pei Yun a few times, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

After a few pleasantries, Duanmu Xu talked about the news he had heard about the event in the past few days: "... I heard that this time, Tianbao Zhenren took out the treasure of the pavilion - Qiankun Dao Treasure Map. All the participating teams must enter this treasure map, and the treasure is in it..."

Pei Yun asked curiously: "Senior Duanmu, as long as the team holds the jade token, can they enter? There is no restriction on cultivation level?"

"There are no restrictions. Those who can possess this jade token are generally wealthy and powerful. However, most of them are proud of their status and will not enter in person. Like our master, he gave it to us disciples as an opportunity for training..." Ling Ziyan explained with a smile.

Bai Chengming also said: "Fellow Daoist Pei, you don't know that no matter how rich Baolin Pavilion is, it is impossible for them to put all those treasures in it. To put it bluntly, this treasure hunt is just a gimmick for them to make a name for themselves. We have inquired about it. Most of the treasures in this treasure hunt are only earth-grade treasures. There are only one or two heaven-grade treasures at most, and they may not be obtained..."

“…Those powerful ones with high cultivation bases also look down on these treasures. Among the cultivators who usually participate in treasure hunting events, most are at the Nascent Soul and Spiritualization levels, and there are almost no powerful ones above the Spiritualization level. The five of us should be considered a team with strong strength!” Ling Ziyan is very confident about this.

Duanmu Xu reminded: "Lu Wu also participated in the treasure hunt this time, we have to be careful!"

Ling Ziyan curled his lips with disdain in his eyes. Bai Chengming obviously also knew this person, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly.

"Who is Lu Wu?" Pei Yun asked.

"He is the villain who bribed the Assassin's Alliance to assassinate us!"

"Then why..." No one was punished for this person?

"We haven't even returned to the sect yet, and the two assassins suddenly died. There is no evidence. Even if Master believes us, the elders of the Lingyao Sect will not punish their disciples without any evidence..."

Of course, it is also because the Lingyao Sect is too large, and there are many forces under it. The forces of both sides have always been competing for resources. In this kind of situation, unless there is solid evidence, they generally cannot do anything to the other side.

After discussing for a long time, they returned to their own rooms...

A few days later, it was the day of the auction. Duanmu Xu led Pei Yun and three others to Baolin Pavilion in Tianbao City.

The Baolin Pavilion here is unique. It is open and surrounded by water. The auction platform is located above the lake and is surrounded by a transparent water barrier. Outside the barrier are suspended pavilions, which are connected by water stairs.

With the jade token, the steward of Baolin Pavilion led them to a sky-high pavilion. When they were about to enter, they saw a group of people coming towards them.

Pei Yun saw that the person coming was not friendly, and was just wondering, when Ling Ziyan frowned and said, "Lu Wu."

A young man in blue stepped forward, sneered, and said in a sarcastic tone: "Ling Ziyan, how are you? It seems that we are facing each other again this time!"

"Only despicable people would resort to assassination. Do you dare to fight openly in this treasure hunt event..."

"Why not?!" Lu Wu glanced at Pei Yun and the other four with disdain, then raised his chin proudly, "You five still want to win? This time I have invited Senior Brother Bai to come!"

Pei Yun followed his gaze and discovered that she couldn't even see through the cultivation level of the man who was the leader of the five opponents. His cultivation level should be higher than theirs.

Just as he was thinking about it, Bai Chengming beside him called out with a faint smile: "Cousin."

Bai Chengtian, the leading member of the Bai family, had a cold expression on his face. He lowered his eyes, glanced at Bai Chengming with disdain, and walked right past them without even saying hello.

Bai Chengming seemed to have long been accustomed to this kind of indifference. As he walked into the private room with the other four people, he said nonchalantly:

"Bai Chengtian is a direct descendant of the Bai family in Fuyao City. His father is the patriarch of the Bai family and has always looked down on us, the illegitimate children of the side branches. However, he has reached the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm. I heard that he has been looking for opportunities to break through in recent years. He is very powerful, so we must be careful!"

"Bai Chengtian is ruthless. I once saw him cutting off the hands and feet of a fellow disciple with his own hands. His strength should not be underestimated..." Xu Moshuang, who had been silent all this time, reminded.

Duanmu Xu was also a little worried: "Among these five people, Bai Chengtian is in the middle stage of the Spiritualization, and the other four are in the early stage of the Spiritualization like us. In terms of overall strength, they are indeed a little stronger than us. When we enter the Qiankun Dao Treasure Map, it would be best not to run into them..."

After a few people chatted for a while, the auction officially began...
