Translator: 549690339
Upon arriving at the auction venue, Lin Jing presented his entrance token, and a maid approached him.
She said to Lin Jing:
“Honored Immortal, please follow me.”
The process was exactly the same as yesterday, and Lin Jing didn’t pay it much attention as he followed the maid.
“Honored Immortal, this way please…”
The maid gestured with her hand, directing Lin Jing towards a side passage.
“What’s going on? Isn’t the venue right ahead?” Lin Jing frowned and asked.
“Honored Immortal, it’s like this…”
“Someone from Yuebaolou wishes to meet with you,” the maid respectfully stated.
“Meet with me?”
“Why?” Lin Jing’s frown deepened as a hint of wariness arose within him.
It was at that moment, an incredibly familiar voice reached him:
“Fellow Daoist, Elder Bai of Yuebaolou invites you, we hope you will grant us the honor of your presence.”
Turning his head, Lin Jing saw Elder Yu approaching from his direction.
Seeing Elder Yu, Lin Jing felt at ease, knowing that with his understanding of Elder Yu, there wouldn’t be any danger.
Besides, since it was Elder Bai extending the invitation, Lin Jing guessed it must be related to the Pure Accumulation Pill.
It seemed his actions in auctioning the Elixir Medicine had caught Elder Bai’s attention.
“Alright,” Lin Jing replied.
“That will be all, you may go back. I shall take this fellow Daoist from here,”
Elder Bai told the maid.
“Yes.”
The maid gave a courtesy to Elder Yu and then turned to leave.
“Fellow Daoist, please.”
Elder Yu led the way with Lin Jing following behind.
Passing through the passage, Lin Jing followed Elder Yu into a room.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Elder Bai.
“Elder Bai,” Lin Jing greeted with a clasped fist, showing respect.
“There’s no need for such formalities, fellow Daoist,” Elder Bai said with a smile as he began to speak.
Lin Jing then continued to ask:
“May I know what Elder Bai is seeking me for? Could there be an issue with the item I intend to auction?” Elder Bai begun to explain:
“You misunderstand, fellow Daoist…
“Indeed, I have sought you out in relation to the item you are auctioning.”
Lin Jing looked at Elder Bai, slightly puzzled.
Elder Bai went on to say:
“You must also be aware of the current situation in Fang Market, which is why you chose this time to auction your Pure Accumulation Pill.”
“The purpose is to maximize your benefits, am I wrong?”
Finishing, Elder Bai wore a smile as he watched Lin Jing awaiting his response.
Lin Jing pondered for a moment before speaking candidly:
“That is indeed the case. It is also because of the current situation in Fang Market that I chose to auction the Pure Accumulation Pill now.”
“Is there anything improper in doing so?” Lin Jing looked at Elder Bai, asking in return.
Elder Bai then began to explain:
“You are mistaken, fellow Daoist, of course, there’s nothing wrong with that.”
“Being able to seize the moment and maximize the value of a Pure Accumulation Pill.”
“That’s completely normal, and Yuebaolou certainly wouldn’t interfere with
that. ”
“It’s just that I personally have a small request, and I hope you will consider it.” “Elder Bai, you flatter me, please speak,” Lin Jing said.
Elder Bai then straightforwardly said: “The item you provided for the auction, I have detained it and haven’t let it appear at today’s auction.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Jing’s brow furrowed slightly, and he asked:
“Elder Bai, does this matter involve the reason you sought me out?” Elder Bai nodded, then continued:
“Yes, I have a friend who is interested in the Pure Accumulation Pills you possess, but he currently can’t offer enough Spirit Stones, so he wants to arrange a private transaction with you, hoping to exchange them for other goods.”
“For this reason, I specifically came to arrange a meeting between you two.”
“Of course, if you truly are in need of Spirit Stones, or if you are not interested in this private transaction,”
“then I can re-enter your auction item and continue with today’s auction.” After hearing Elder Bail s words, Lin Jing bowed his head in thought.
“Elder Bai’s friend, that must certainly be a Golden Core Immortal, and if a Golden Core Immortal urgently needs Pure Accumulation Pills…”
“Then without a doubt, it must be Zhang Chenfan, the Zhang Family Patriarch.” “I am somewhat aware of the Zhang Family’s current situation; they are currently making all-out preparations to bid on the Lifespan Extension Pill, so they must certainly be short on Spirit Stones.”
“If the Pure Accumulation Pills were to go to auction, given the Zhang Family’s current predicament, they might actually find it quite difficult.”
“Therefore, he has entrusted Elder Bai to find me for a private transaction.”
Lin Jing actually guessed quite correctly, although what he surely didn’t realize was that it was Elder Bai who had taken the initiative to reach out to the Zhang Family Patriarch.
Lin Jing spoke directly, “If I’m not mistaken, the one who intends to trade with me would be someone from the Zhang Family, right?”
Elder Bai slightly nodded, “Correct.”
“I want to know, in the current state of affairs, what the Zhang Family can offer in exchange.”
Lin Jing cut to the heart of the transaction.
As everyone knows, the Zhang Family is seeking a private transaction with Lin Jing precisely because they cannot produce the necessary Spirit Stones.
To engage in a transaction, they must offer other items of equivalent value.
If they cannot, then what transaction could there be? “I must admit, the Zhang Family truly has nothing much left to offer now.” As he said this, Elder Bai paused for a moment.
“Zhang Family is preparing to offer a Cultivation Method in exchange?” “The Zhang Family Cultivation Method?”
Lin Jing was startled, for if it truly was the Zhang Family’s Cultivation Method, then he stood to make a great profit.
However, after thinking it over more carefully, Lin Jing sensed something amiss.
A family’s inherited Cultivation Techniques are the very foundation of their existence and would not be casually handed over.
Moreover, what he could provide were only two Pure Accumulation Pills; to expect that these could trade for the fundamental survival root of a family was utterly a fool’s dream.
While Lin Jing was thinking this, Elder Bai interrupted him.
“You misunderstand, my friend; it’s not the Zhang Family’s common cultivation technique but rather the Cultivation Method practiced by the Zhang
Family Patriarch, Zhang Chenfan.”
“These two aren’t the same?” Lin Jing asked, puzzled.
“Of course…
“You must know of the Zhang Family Patriarch’s Spiritual Root talent,” said Elder Bai, looking at Lin Jing.
Lin Jing nodded: “The Zhang Family Patriarch cultivated to the Golden Core Stage with the talent of Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root; in Fang Market, there’s no one who doesn’t know, no one who doesn’t speak of it.”
“I’m certainly aware of it.”
Elder Bai continued: “Exactly because of this, the Patriarch’s Cultivation
Method differs from the rest of the Zhang Family members’.”
“The Cultivation Method practiced by the Patriarch is not suitable for those without the Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root; it won’t bring out the potential of the method. Essentially, it’s a technique exclusive for those with the Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root, unfit for others in the Zhang Family to cultivate.”
“So…’
“The Cultivation Method of the Patriarch is distinct from what the other members of the Zhang Family practice.”
“There’s actually such a Cultivation Method,” said Lin Jing, surprised after hearing Elder Yu’s words.
He happened to be a Five Elements Mixed Spirit Root and was also recently troubled by the issue of finding a suitable Cultivation Method.
“Indeed, this technique is quite renowned throughout the Cultivation World; the Patriarch acquired it during his travels and adventures outside,” explained Elder Bai.
“If you’re interested, I can arrange a meeting for you two to trade in person.”
“Of course.”
“As the intermediary, I will certainly be present, you can rest assured of that,” Elder Bai assured..
