Your Banana, of Course~~~
The Empty Spirit Sect Auction held in a large hall that could accommodate 10,000 people.
Thanks to the auction tickets given to them by the Empty Spirit Sect, Jiang Lin and his group entered relatively late.
Some people genuinely participate in the auction for something they need, while others are simply there for the excitement.
Jiang Lin also encountered many of the people he had met in the Bewildering Secret Realm.
For example, Zhao RiTian of the Zong Hao Sect.
This guy walked over to Jiang Lin and said, "I will definitely surpass you!"
Then he walked away...
Immediately afterwards, a crowd gathered around the guy, exclaiming, "So, Senior Brother, you really do know Jiang Lin!" "Senior Brother, could you help me get a friend slot in the Divine Sense Realm?" "Senior Brother, did Young Master Jiang really fight you for three hundred rounds in the Bewildering Secret Realm?"
Seeing this scene, Jiang Lin Jiang Lin didn't know what to say for a moment. It reminded him of a senior from his high school who had become a star and acted in movies, and the pride he felt when talking about it with others.
Besides Zhao RiTian of the Zong Hao Sect, those who had a grudge against Jiang Lin in the Bewildering Secret Realm came over to chat with him. Ye Liangchen also came over and said he wanted to have another "《A Song of Ice and Fire》" with him!
I still have the Iron Throne!
However, they all seemed quite happy, carrying a sense of pride that "this Flower-Picking Thief was once my equal."
Then Jiang Lin kicked them all away with one kick...
If it weren't for Jiji Bo and the others acting as bodyguards, giving off a "keep away, fans" vibe, Jiang Lin felt he would have been surrounded.
Even so, a girl still rushed over carrying a bunch of big, thick bananas!
Seeing that she was a beautiful woman, Diao Da and the others let them pass.
Before Jiang Lin could react, the girl shoved the bunch of large bananas into Jiang Lin arms and then ran away.
"Girl! Your banana!"
Jiang Lin called out from behind.
The girl turned around and called out sweetly, "No~~~ it's your banana~~~"
After saying that, the girl shyly covered her face and ran away, leaving Jiang Lin standing there bewildered in the wind...
He was eating a banana that a fan had given him.
Jiang Lin was deeply moved.
I never expected to become famous...
But why the hell is he known as a "Flower-Picking Thief"?
Moreover, there are many tragic stories circulating about his various Dao Companion running off with other people, his Childhood Sweetheart getting married, and his wives dying from illness!
What the hell is this?!
Stepping into the venue, it's truly enormous, capable of holding tens of thousands of people! In the center of the hall is a large lifting platform used to display the auction items.
Following the seat numbers on their tickets, Jiang Lin and the others took their seats as if they were watching a movie.
"Junior Brother Jiang?"
"Senior Brother Qin? Senior Sister Shangguan?"
"Senior Brother Jiang..."
"Senior, you're so handsome."
"Senior, do you really like bananas?"
"Uh... it was a gift from a fan." Jiang Lin handed the bananas to his senior and junior sisters. "Here, have my banana."
After introducing Jiji Bo, Qin Xiao, and the others to each other, Jiang Lin and the others sat down. Several of the junior sisters looked at the eagle with Diao Da eyes, wanting to touch the large, thick-furred eagle.
"Junior brother, we were worried about you." Eating a banana, Qin Xiao looked at Jiang Lin with concern.
Worried about me?
"Yes, junior brother, you don't know, that day you got on the pleasure boat. If it weren't for your junior sister holding on tightly to your senior sister, and the Sect Leader rushing over to stop her, you probably would have been dead."
Jiang Lin was startled, swallowed hard, and thought to himself, "This is definitely not good."
Where is my senior sister?
"We came to this auction without telling our senior sister; it was a mission given to us by the Sect Leader. But our senior sister seemed to say yesterday that she was going to see you today, junior brother."
Jiang Lin wiped away his sweat.
Without even thinking, I knew my senior sister was coming to settle scores with me...
No! I need to find a chance to explain myself to my senior sister right away, otherwise the longer this drags on, the easier it is for her to turn evil...
Qin Xiao: "Junior brother, weren't you never interested in auctions to begin with? Why did you come today?"
Jiang Lin shook his head, indicating that he was just browsing and did not tell Qin Xiao the truth.
After all, this matter could be quite troublesome, and it wouldn't be good if it dragged in the fellow disciples of the Dragon Gate Sect.
As for Diao Da and the others...
They're not afraid of trouble anyway.
After chatting for a few more minutes, I learned that my senior brothers and their group had come for Azure Lake Heavenly Water.
"Azure Lake Heavenly Water" comes from the Azure Bamboo Forest of the Seeking Immortal Continent and belongs to Azure Maiden of the Azure Bamboo Forest.
The spiritual energy of Qinghu Heavenly Water is extremely abundant, with every drop and wisp containing the Qi of the Great Dao. The annual output is less than ten catties, but even so, Qing Niangzi will still distribute nine catties of Qinghu Heavenly Water to the nine continents as a way to cultivate one's Dao.
To prevent bloodshed in Azure Lake Heavenly Water, Azure Maiden would always add a wisp of her Spiritual Power to the water.
If anyone were to kill or coerce someone because of the spring water, then that continent would not receive a single drop of Azure Lake Heavenly Water for the next hundred years.
Therefore, the consensus that this water can only be redeemed fairly has been established for thousands of years.
Because Senior Sister is expected to break through to the Jade Purity Realm in the next few years, and after hearing rumors that the Azure Lake Heavenly Water is available at this auction house, the Dragon Gate Sect has gathered almost all the surplus money they have accumulated over the past hundred years to buy this water.
After all, Senior Sister's Great Dao affinity for water, and her Flying Sword Qingbi is also connected with Qinghu Lake. The "Azure Lake Heavenly Water" which is extremely compatible with Senior Sister will become a great help for Senior Sister to enter the Jade Purity Realm.
"Does Senior Sister know about this?"
Shangguan Mei shook her head. "Senior Sister doesn't know. If she did, she definitely wouldn't have let us come."
Jiang Lin nodded, thinking about it, and agreed.
Senior Sister would never spend the entire sect's hard-earned money for her own sake. Even if she manages to buy back the water at auction, she might not even use it in a fit of anger.
But can the Dragon Gate Sect really be taken down?
The Dragon Gate Sect is merely a mid-tier sect in Wutong Province, and the sects that need Azure Lake Heavenly Water are not the only Dragon Gate Sect.
Honestly, if this water weren't so expensive that I couldn't afford it all by myself, I would have bought the Azure Lake Heavenly Water and given it to my senior sister.
This is the best gift an apology can receive.
But no matter what, if the Dragon Gate Sect doesn't have enough money, then I will add my own money to help buy the water.
Although Senior Sister firmly believed that she could enter the Upper Five Realms without relying on any external forces, the Jade Purity Realm was completely different. Cultivators always fear the unexpected, and this Azure Lake Heavenly Water might be able to make up for any unforeseen circumstances that Senior Sister might face.
"Da da da da..."
Just as Jiang Lin was pondering how many magical treasures he possessed that he could pawn, the light from the Night-Shining Pearl atop the hall focused entirely on the central auction stage.
As the gears turned, the auctioneer rose to the top.
Jiang Lin was stunned when he saw the first item up for auction.
This reminded Jiang Lin of a type of doll from his previous life.
Um.
It's the kind that can be inflated.
[I was too busy before the May Day holiday, so I only have one update today. I'll make up for it tomorrow. Happy Labor Day everyone! ヽ(ω??)ゝ]
