Heavenly Merchant Region, Heavenly Merchant Pavilion
"I am going to the Heavenly Merchant Region. Would LingShan like to come with me?"
Looking at the petite figure who was gradually calming down, Lin Dong said with a smile.
"The Heavenly Merchant Region? I've heard there are many glittering treasures there. I must go! LingShan just left the clan and doesn't want to go back so soon."
Upon hearing this, Mu Lingshan nodded emphatically and then said, "By the way, big brother, now that LingShan's strength has been restored, I can use the Whale Summoning Sound to summon the Sea Suppressing Mysterious Whale as a mount to carry us on our journey."
"The Sea Suppressing Mysterious Whale clan can Life Mysterious Stage when they grow up. They are huge and their speed is enough to rank among the top five among the thousands of sea Demonic Beast in the Chaotic Demon Sea. Their speed is quite fast."
"Can any sea monster outrun the Space Ancestral Symbol? Let's go."
Lin Dong smiled upon hearing this, stepped forward and patted Mu Lingshan's shoulder. The space rippled rapidly, and the two of them mysteriously disappeared from the spot.
Space Ancestral Symbol, Space Teleportation!
The Heavenly Merchant Region is extremely vast, consisting of thousands of giant islands connected in the sea. Heavenly Merchant City is located in the very center of the Heavenly Merchant Region. As Heavenly Merchant City is the headquarters of the Heavenly Merchant Pavilion, and is guarded by a Samsara Stage expert, any form of private fighting is prohibited within the city.
This did not deter people's enthusiasm for entering Heavenly Merchant City; on the contrary, it stimulated even more Gold Prospector to flock here. A city where martial arts are forbidden is something that countless people who live on the edge of death yearn for.
When Lin Dong and his companion arrived, they casually found an inn in the center of the city to stay in. Three days later, a large-scale auction was to be held.
I've heard that this grand auction is packed with treasures, attracting not only top-tier forces from the surrounding seas such as Qiankun Cave Heaven, Evil Wind Cave Heaven, Illusion Demon Sect Heavenly Tablet Sect, Tianbei Sect, and Suspended Valley, but also that Miss Tang Dongling, the daughter of the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Merchant Pavilion, will personally preside over the auction.
As a result, the city has become increasingly popular in recent days.
Three days later.
Having paid a deposit of 10,000 Xuan Yuan Pill in advance Lin Dong and his companion, holding invitation letters, entered the Ancient Pavilion in the center of the city, which was shrouded in a sky full of light arrays. The noise and clamor immediately came over them.
"Clang!"
The clear sound of bells rang out, and a graceful figure appeared eerily on the stands, followed by two imposing old men.
The beautiful figure was dressed in a long, bright red dress. She was slender, with delicate features and graceful curves. A warm smile was always on her fair, oval face, and her dignified posture made her instantly likable.
"Look, it's Tang Dongling, the daughter of Pavilion Master Tang. I didn't expect that Miss Tang is not only beautiful, but also has excellent cultivation. She 'Life Mysterious Stage, Great Accomplishment Peak. This level of cultivation is enough to rival the two Young Cave Masters of Qiankun Cave Heaven and Evil Wind Cave Heaven, right?"
"The two old men behind Miss Tang Dongling seem to be old monsters at the Death Mysterious Stage. I didn't expect the Heavenly Merchant Pavilion to have such a luxurious lineup for this auction. It seems the rumors are true. The grand finale of this auction will be that thing."
"Hehe, it wasn't in vain that we came to the Heavenly Merchant Region."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this auction will be hosted by me Tang Dongling. I hope you will enjoy it."
Amidst the cacophony of noise, the woman in the red dress stepped onto the platform and gracefully bowed, her alluring demeanor immediately eliciting a howl of wolves from the crowd below.
"The first item up for auction is the High-grade Spirit Martial Arts, the Fire Demon Heaven Passage Palm. This martial art was created by a master of fire magic from ancient times..."
Tang Dongling was quite magnanimous, waved her slender hand, and a pretty maid behind her immediately stepped forward with a tray covered with red silk cloth.
"Big brother, this auction doesn't seem to have anything fun."
In the first three rows of VIP seats, Mu Lingshan yawned listlessly.
As one of the top Overlord Clan among the Sea Demon Tribe, the Undying Sacred Whale Tribe possesses numerous treasures. As the clan's Little Princess, she grew up surrounded by these treasures, so naturally she looked down on the auction items used by the Heavenly Merchant Association Guild to warm up the atmosphere at the beginning of the event.
"Don't rush. The highlight of this event is a clue about the cave dwelling of a Cycle Stage Expert in the Chaotic Demon Sea. Many people will be vying for it, and it's our target."
Lin Dong lowered his voice and said.
"A clue to the cave of Cycle Stage Expert? Many people will be vying for it. Big brother, do you want LingShan to help? When LingShan went out, she stuffed her Cosmic Bag full of Xuan Yuan Pill, she's not short of money."
Mu Lingshan patted the Cosmic Bag at her waist and proudly puffed out her small chest.
"Hehe, don't worry, I'm not short of money."
Lin Dong smiled and patted Mu Lingshan's head.
Just kidding, he's the man who owns a super-large Dan River.
Although he had previously given half of the Xuan Yuan Pill to Little Marten in order to help him recover his peak strength as soon as possible, and had also used some up during his cultivation over the past two years, he still had at least seven or eight hundred million Xuan Yuan Pill left in his possession.
When it comes to the competition for the key that can open the Thunder Emperor Cave Mansion — the Silver Small Tower —if any other forces dare to be so foolish as to compete with him, he will definitely let those poor bastards know what it means to Lin Dongdong.
The auction proceeded uneventfully, with nothing particularly interesting to see, so Lin Dong and his companion remained quiet observers.
"The next item up for auction is the twenty-first item— the Mysterious Puppet."
As a Crystal Coffin appeared, the Devouring Ancestral Symbol within Lin Dong's body suddenly throbbed. A completely black, withered corpse lay quietly inside the Crystal Coffin, emitting a rather eerie fluctuation.
"Everyone, this Mysterious Puppet was discovered by a powerful member of our Heavenly Merchant Pavilion on the seabed near the Northern Mysterious Sea Region. Its specific purpose is unknown. It can withstand the attacks of Death Mysterious Stage expert without being damaged. Its drawback is that it cannot be activated by any known means."
"Starting bid: five million Xuan Yuan Pill. Bidding begins now."
Tang Dongling's voice was light and gentle, standing gracefully on the high platform.
"Lin Dong, this is Devouring Heavenly Corpse made from the Devouring Ancestral Symbol. Judging from its aura, it seems to have been personally crafted by the Devouring Master Devouring Ancestral Symbol. We must capture it."
"Yes, yes, the three Devouring Heavenly Corpse that the Devouring Master forged were all comparable in combat power to top-tier Samsara Stage experts, and their physical strength was even close to that of Cycle Stage Expert. In a great battle in ancient times, the Devouring Master was besieged by five King-tier Demons. One of the Devouring Heavenly Corpse blocked the combined attack of the five King-tier Demons, which is why it was damaged."
"This Devouring Heavenly Corpse looks like it was severely injured before. After you buy it, you can use the Devouring Ancestral Symbol to slowly nurture it, and its strength will gradually recover. From then on, you will have another fearless thug at your disposal."
Inside Lin Dong's body, Yan and the Great Desolation Stele spoke back and forth.
"I understand now, the Devouring Heavenly Corpse was personally crafted by the Devouring Master."
Lin Dong nodded slightly and immediately raised his hand to indicate, "Ten million Xuan Yuan Pill!"
"Ten million Xuan Yuan Pill!"
No sooner had Tang Dongling finished speaking than a resolute voice rang out, startling everyone in the room, who all turned to look in Lin Dong's direction.
