A Golden Core True Person of a Top-Tier Family

Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Zhong solemnly took out a Beast Taming Pouch from his bosom and summoned a small tiger demon, about the size of a human head and covered with white scales, that was in a coma.

Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Zhong also spoke up.

"This little tiger demon was obtained by one of our sect's Golden Core Old Ancestor a few days ago when he was stationed at the Blazing Fire Iron Ore Vein in the White Cloud Mountain Range and killed a Golden Core stage White Scale Mother Tiger in the White Cloud Mountain Range."

"His father is also a tiger demon at the Golden Core stage; our sect can guarantee this."

"And this tiger demon's aptitude is also due to its parents, with an innate Qi Training Seventh Layer Refining."

"With such powerful aptitude, there's even a sliver of hope that he can break through to the Golden Core."

"If this tiger were not of the metal element, and if our sect's several Golden Core Old Ancestor were not primarily cultivating fire Spirit Root, and if our sect's entire territory were not equipped with a third-order fire vein, making it unsuitable for this tiger to live in and improve its cultivation, then our sect would not have sold this creature."

"Fellow Daoists, the starting bid for this item is 30,000 Spirit Stone. The highest bidder wins."

The cultivators present were all shocked upon hearing this.

Although they had heard that a Golden Core cub would be sold at the auction, they did not expect that the Golden Core Demon Beast cub would have such a powerful aptitude.

Ling Pengyun was also surprised when he saw a private room on the second floor.

"There really is a cub of Golden Core stage Demon Beast."

However, upon further reflection, he realized something was amiss.

Ouyang Zhong only mentioned that he killed a Golden Core tigress and obtained the tiger cub, which also indicates that the cub's father is still alive.

Upon reflection, Ling Pengyun immediately understood why the Golden Core Old Ancestor of the Profound Yang Sect, who had killed the Golden Core Mother Tiger, hadn't refined the tiger cub into Spirit Beast himself.

"The steward Ouyang Zhong has indicated in his words that the cub has a father, but he has not specified whether the father is still alive."

"The person who buys this tiger cub in the future, even if retaliated against by the tiger cub's father, will probably find it difficult to cause trouble for the Profound Yang Sect."

"The Profound Yang Sect has a good plan. If this item can be sold, the Profound Yang Sect will get rid of a hot potato and will also get a large amount of Spirit Stone."

"I can guess this, and I'm sure there are many others here who can guess it too. I just don't know which Golden Core Old Ancestor or person from Golden Core Force would dare to buy that Demon Beast cub."

Ling Pengyun muttered to himself.

The tiger cub's father is most likely still alive. If the tiger cub is auctioned off, it will be difficult to protect it without a Golden Core Old Ancestor in charge.

Similarly, only those powerful Golden Core Old Ancestor and those from Golden Core Force would dare to covet this item.

Indeed, quite a few people in the auction hall, like Ling Pengyun, had guessed the clever scheme of the Profound Yang Sect.

Just as everyone was anticipating which senior would be bidding, a domineering voice came from the entrance of the auction house.

"I finally caught up. Your Profound Yang Sect is really slow in spreading news. I almost missed this precious Little Golden Scale Tiger."

"I, Li Congyi of the Li family of Maple Leaf in Wu Kingdom, want this tiger. Tell me the location of the tiger cub's father as well. I will kill him when I find out, so as to pave the way for the little white tiger's future path."

"I'm offering 100,000 Spirit Stone. At this price, I'm not taking advantage of your Profound Yang Sect."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the auction hall turned their gaze toward the source of the sound.

Immediately, everyone saw a blond old man wearing a red Daoist robe embroidered with maple leaf patterns and without any aura slowly walk in from outside the auction hall.

"The Golden Leaf Old Ancestor Li Congyi from the Maple Leaf Li Family is truly domineering! He doesn't even put Golden Core Demon Beast in his eyes."

"I wonder when my Ling Clan will be able to possess such magnanimity."

Ling Pengyun, sitting in a private room on the second floor, looked at the blond old man named "Li Congyi" with immense envy.

The Maple Leaf Li Family can be said to be one of the most prestigious Lineage in the entire Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, and they exclusively control the Wu Country, one of the "Middle Three Countries" in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World world.

There are seven kingdoms in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World, divided into the Lower Three Countries, the Middle Three Countries, and the Great Country.

The Yan Kingdom, where the Ling Clan resides, and the Chen Country, where the Thousand Stars Pavilion is located, are both among the Lower Three Countries. There are no Nascent Soul experts in charge, and Golden Core experts are the top.

Each of the Middle Three Countries has one or more Nascent Soul experts in charge.

Within this unique Great Country, there are Three Great Immortal Sects Three Great Immortal Sects sects, each with one or more Nascent Soul cultivators in charge.

The reason why the Maple Leaf Li Family was able to monopolize the Wu Country was because there was a Nascent Soul True Lord in the Li Lineage.

The once-every-hundred-year Demon Beast Uprising, jointly established by the cultivators of the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World and the Demon Beast of the Boundless Great Swamp, owes much to the deterrent power of the Nascent Soul True Lord from the Li Clan.

In addition, the Maple Leaf Li Family has five Golden Core True Person.

Li Congyi, who appeared at the auction, was one of them. His Daoist name was "Jinye" and he was respectfully called "Golden Leaf True Person" by the world.

The reputation of this Golden Leaf True Person is extremely famous in the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World. In addition to his Golden Leaf True Person strength, he is also a third-level Beast Tamer with a Golden Core Spirit Beast under his command.

This Golden Leaf True Person also frequently travels to various parts of the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World to search for worthy young Demon Beast beasts.

Such a powerful individual, from a top-tier clan, offered a high price to buy the Xuanjin Scaled Tiger cub, and naturally, no one bid against him.

Ten breaths passed, and still no one made a bid.

Ouyang Zhong, who was in charge of the auction, also went down to the auction stage with a smile and handed the Little Golden Scale Tiger to Golden Leaf True Person Li Congyi.

He then informed Golden Leaf True Person of the location of the Little Golden Scale Tiger's father.

Golden Leaf True Person, Li Congyi, did not break his promise. He took out a bulging Storage Bag from his robes and tossed it to Ouyang Zhong.

After Ouyang Zhong finished counting the number of Spirit Stone in the Storage Bag and confirmed that the Spirit Stone was correct, Li Congyi disappeared in the next moment without leaving a trace.

"All the spiritual items in the auction have been sold. This auction is now concluded. Fellow Daoists who participated in the auction, please leave in an orderly manner."

Ouyang Zhong said with a grin.

Upon hearing Ouyang Zhong's order to dismiss them, the cultivators inside the auction hall naturally did not linger and left the auction hall one after another.

The sudden arrival of Golden Leaf True Person at the White Cloud Auction has become a hot topic among tens of thousands of cultivators in White Cloud Market Town.

After the auction, Ling Pengyun, Wu Hong, and Liu Luo stayed in White Cloud Market Town for another ten days or so.

After the excitement of the auction subsided, they left White Cloud Market Town together.

During the journey, thanks to the presence of Ling Pengyun, a powerful expert at the Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, no one dared to make a move despite being followed.

The three of them thus returned safely to Serpent Dragon Lake.

On her first outing, she met the worldly Wu Hong and was overjoyed. She told her mother, Yang Siling, and the other elders about the Yuan Kingdom's Maple Leaf Li Family's domineering purchase of the Golden Core Demon Beast cub, the Golden Scale Tiger.

Yang Si and the others found it amusing upon hearing this.

The crowd couldn't help but start discussing whether Little Golden Scale Tiger's father, who was at the Golden Core stage, would dare to go to the Li Clan of the Yuan Kingdom to snatch the child.

After a careful discussion, everyone said they definitely wouldn't dare.

After all, even the Profound Yang Sect didn't dare to provoke that Golden Core stage Golden Scale Tiger, otherwise its child wouldn't have ended up being auctioned off.

Moreover, the Maple Leaf Li Family has a Nascent Soul expert in charge.

Serpent Dragon Island, Daocang Courtyard, in the middle of the courtyard.

Ling Pengyun's parents, Ling Xiaoshun and Yang Qiuyun, as well as Yan Siyi and Yan Cang, were all present.

After Ling Xiaoshun and his wife became in-laws with Yan Cang, they frequently visited each other, one visiting the other's place.

In addition, both sides were easy-going people, and gradually the relationship between the three elders became very good, and they became close friends who could talk about anything.

After Ling Pengyun told his parents, his Daoist partner Yan Siyi, and his Grandfather Yan Cang about his trip to White Cloud Market Town, he was about to leave.

He then took out the twenty bottles of Profound Yang Spirit Liquid and nine Longevity Enhancing Spirit Apricot that he had purchased at great expense during his trip to the White Cloud Auction, and explained in detail.

"Mother, Father, Grandfather, these nine Longevity Enhancing Spirit Apricot, three for each of you, will each increase your lifespan by nine years."

"As for those twenty bottles of Profound Yang Spirit Liquid, I bought them for you, Madam."

"In this way, Madam, you can also enter the Foundation Establishment Sixth Layer more quickly, and then break through to the Late-Stage Foundation Establishment even faster."

"We will have the opportunity to explore higher Dao Path together in the future."

The three elders, Ling Xiaoshun, Yang Qiuyun, and Yan Cang, were deeply gratified to see that Ling Pengyun still thought of them during his trip.

"My husband..."

His Daoist partner, Yan Siyi, is incredibly warm-hearted.

"Madam, there's no need to say more. We are Daoist partners, one in spirit. It's only natural for husband and wife to support each other," Ling Pengyun interrupted.

"Peng Yun, although the Longevity Enhancing Spirit Apricot is rare, some of them are usually sold at the auction held once every ten years in White Cloud Market Town, which was established by the Profound Yang Sect."

"I took three Longevity Enhancing Spirit Apricot decades ago."

"Taking the Longevity Enhancing Spirit Apricot has no effect anymore."

"But I'm very happy that you thought of this old man," Yan Cang said first.

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiaoshun, Yang Qiuyun, and Yan Siyi was gazing tenderly at Ling Pengyun, all trembled and their expressions turned somewhat grim.

Yan Cang's inability to use the Longevity Enhancing Spirit Apricot to increase his lifespan means that Yan Cang's lifespan is unlikely to increase.

It should be noted that Yan Cang's cultivation had already begun to decline five years ago, and the reason he is still alive and well is because five years ago, the sect leader of the Hundred Spirits Sect, Hundred Spirits True Person, took pity on Yan Cang for improving the Spirit Rice of the Hundred Spirits Sect in his early years and found him a spiritual fruit that could increase his lifespan by ten years.

Now that five years have passed, he only has five more good years left to live.

Five years later, Yan Cang will once again suffer from a decline in his cultivation.

And he will also signify his passing away peacefully.

Although they had all experienced the passing of many relatives, they still couldn't help but feel sad whenever such a thing happened.

After a long silence, Ling Pengyun had a thousand words in his heart, but at this moment, he didn't know how to say them.

"Grandfather, I..."
