There were no obstacles along the way and we left the imperial city and arrived at a main street.

'I didn't expect this place to be so lively at night'

Many lights illuminated the street. Women with heavy makeup could be seen inside and outside the tall buildings. There was also a constant stream of people around. Lin Ji found a kind-looking passerby and asked him a question.

"Hello, brother. I'm new to the capital and don't know where to go. Could you please recommend some places?"

"Brother? Kid, why aren't you going home so late? Be careful to get beaten!"

After hearing this, Lin Ji looked at his current appearance and found he could not refute it. He could only display his spiritual power to prove his identity.

"I am a monk. Do you know any place related to monks?"

"Excuse me, you are the Little Immortal Master. The tallest building in front is called Zuixian Building. It is said to be specially used to entertain immortals."

"Okay, please."

The man answered with some fear. After hearing this, Lin Ji walked towards Zuixian Tower and transferred some spiritual power into the man's body to improve his physical fitness.

When we arrived at Zuixian Tower, we looked at its towering height, with seven floors. In the entire capital, the only building taller than it was the imperial palace.

Lin Ji walked to the door of Zuixian Tower and was about to go in, but a guard came over to stop him.

"Please show us your sect token or demonstrate your cultivation level!"

Lin Ji took out the jade token, showing his identity as a disciple of Xuantian Sect, and the guard immediately bent down and made a gesture to invite him in.

"The jade token has this ability, not bad."

As he walked into the first-floor hall, a young and beautiful maid came towards him and bowed to ask Lin Ji.

"Is this your first time here? Do you need me to introduce Zuixianlou's services?"

"Please introduce yourself."

"plz follow me."

The maid led the way, and Lin Ji followed her to a counter and began to introduce.

"Sir, the first floor is where Liang State issues missions such as exorcising demons. Both independent cultivators and sect cultivators can come to take the missions."

"The second floor sells spiritual food that is beneficial to cultivators, such as spiritual rice and monster meat."

"Wait, introduce some things that I'm interested in, such as skills, rare spiritual herbs, and elixirs."

Lin Ji interrupted the maid, and the maid immediately stopped talking and thought for a while.

"Guest, there is an auction on the sixth floor. It has been going on for a while, but you can still catch the last rare auction items. Are you interested?"

"Okay, take me there right away."

Lin Ji followed the maid to the sixth floor.

"I just came across an auction when I left home. Could it be that I am destined to find a bargain? I must take a look!"

Arriving at the sixth floor, the maid explained the whole story to an old man with white hair and beard. The old man looked at the token hanging around Lin Ji's waist and agreed.

The maid led Lin Ji to room 22, explained the auction process, and then closed the door and left.

"The sword to be auctioned next is a mid-grade magic sword with wood attributes. It is made of thousand-year-old spiritual wood. The starting price is 50 low-grade spiritual stones."

Lin Ji had just sat down and looked around when he heard an excited voice introducing the auction items. It appeared to be an old man with full of energy, wearing a long green robe.

"A medium-grade magic weapon is useless to someone as sharp as me."

Lin Ji was thinking this, and soon the magic weapon was bought by No. 40 for 77 spirit stones.

"Congratulations to No. 40 for winning the auction. The next item is a low-grade defensive magic weapon, the Ice Silkworm Dress. It is made of ice silk. Since it is a skirt, it is only suitable for female monks. Male monks can also buy it for their Taoist partners to wear to improve their relationship! The starting price is 20 low-grade spirit stones!"

"This is good. You can give it to Ningxue as a gift."

When Lin Ji heard about the auction item, he immediately wanted to buy it and showed the special auction sign marked with 30 spirit stones.

"Number 22 bids 30 Spiritual Stones. Is there a higher price?"

"No. 34 bid 35 Spiritual Stones, and No. 22 bid 40 Spiritual Stones immediately. It seems that they are determined to get the Ice Silkworm Robe!"

The old man was very excited. The ice silkworm robe could be sold at an auction for 40 spirit stones, which was already a huge profit.

"No one bids anymore. Congratulations to No. 22 for winning the Ice Silkworm Coat."

Then a few items that Lin Ji was not interested in were auctioned. After a while, the Ice Silkworm Robe was delivered to Lin Ji's room and the transaction was successfully completed after paying 40 spirit stones.

"The next item is the highlight of this auction. Many monks come here just for this. This item is a map of a secret place. It has been verified to be authentic, but because it is so old, the names on the map are completely different. So the original owner couldn't be found and was auctioned off."

"The starting price is 100 low-grade spirit stones. This is a secret realm! It is very useful to the family and the sect."

When the old man finished speaking, Lin Ji saw many people marking the price, and it soon reached 500 low-grade spirit stones.

"600 low-grade spirit stones. Please give my Wang family some face."

The guest in room number 3 directly revealed his identity to put pressure on others.

"The Wang family again? I have a connection with the Wang family!"

As Lin Ji was thinking this, someone made another bid and spoke up.

"The Wang family is so great? I will give 800 spirit stones to Shuntianhou Mansion."

This bid made many people exclaim in surprise, and Lin Ji heard people in the nearby room talking about the two families.

"Shuntianhou Mansion is the most powerful mansion in our Liang country. It is said that there is a 3rd level foundation cultivator!"

"Yes, but the Wang family also has a 2nd level Foundation Establishment cultivator, so these two families have something to fight over."

After a fierce bidding, Shuntianhou Mansion finally won it for 1500 low-grade spirit stones, and then the Wang family left after leaving a word.

"Congratulations, Fang Shen! I hope you can get it back."

After the item was auctioned, many people left the auction venue.

"Everyone, don't leave in a hurry. There is one last item for auction. This item is quite special. It is a person."

The old man paused and kept the question in suspense, arousing the curiosity of the guests in the room.

"She is the third princess of the Heng Kingdom that was destroyed half a year ago. Heng Kingdom was not far from Liang Kingdom and they had an alliance in the past. So after the destruction of her kingdom, she fled to Liang Kingdom to ask for asylum, but to no avail. With nowhere else to go, she decided to use her soul contract and a damaged magic weapon to ask for someone, a sect, or a family that could protect her."

A 15-year-old girl came over. She bent her slender waist and took small steps, showing her white wrists under the light gauze. Her eyes were filled with sorrow, and her skin was as white as cream. She looked just like Xiao Ningxue.

After reaching the stage, she bowed slightly and opened her red lips.

"I am Luo Youran, a princess of a fallen country. I have nowhere else to turn but have come here with the grace of your emperor. I am asking for asylum with my soul contract and damaged magic weapon. I don't want to deceive you. My enemy is the Blood Demon Sect, which has two golden cores. The damaged magic weapon is not with me. You must sign a soul contract with me before I can tell you the location."

After Luo Youran finished speaking, he closed his eyes and waited for his fate. The guests around him also made noisy noises.

"It turns out that Heng Kingdom was destroyed because of the Blood Demon Sect!"

"Who can save her? Even if the people chasing her now may only be Qi practitioners, the Blood Demon Sect has two Golden Cores!"

"No one in our Liang Kingdom dares to save her except the Sword Sect!"

The entire venue was filled with discussion, but no one dared to speak, and after a while, there was silence.
