Qin Fengming had originally come to Lie Feng City's auction grounds together with Ding Ziruo. However, the materials the two of them needed were different, so they had split up.
At the time, Qin Fengming had handed a jade token to the female cultivator and instructed her to crush it if she encountered any danger.
At the Lie Feng City auction, conflicts almost never occurred. Qin Fengming had given Ding Ziruo the jade token merely as a precaution against the unexpected.
As for Ding Ziruo, Qin Fengming had personally seen her beautiful face. She truly possessed beauty capable of toppling kingdoms, rare in all the world. Although she always wore a veil to conceal her features, her graceful figure still inevitably stirred people's imaginations.
If she were seen by someone who practiced an obscene cultivation art, trouble would surely follow.
It was precisely with this in mind that Qin Fengming had given her a jade token.
This jade token contained no powerful attack. It merely held an imagery array that could transmit the situation around the female cultivator to Qin Fengming.
This method could transmit information only over a very short distance. It could not compare to those methods that imprinted incantation runes into a cultivator's body and, when activated, could transmit everything happening around them across boundless distances.
However, methods capable of transmitting information without limit all required incantation runes to be engraved into a cultivator's body. High-level cultivators were unwilling to use such methods, because the technique had to act upon the soul. Any art that was imprinted into another person's soul violated the harmony of Heaven.
