Bishui City, Lan Chang'an waited patiently for nearly two years. Due to the sealing of Law Power and isolation of Evergreen Dao Fruit's induction, they were unable to practice during this period.

Two months before the Central Region auction, he was quietly crouching near the Bishan Sect.

On this day, in the sky above the Bishan Sect mountain gate, a piece of blue water rippled Escape Light, which was the same color as the sunny sky.

Along with Nascent Soul True Lord's spiritual pressure, a quiet and quiet beauty in a green dress appeared in Lan Chang'an's senses.

This woman True Lord is about in her twenties, her eyes are as clear as a clear pool, and her demeanor has an air of spiritual beauty that is not stained by the world.

"Bishan Sect, True Lord Tian, Fairy Bishui..."

Lan Chang'an only looked at it from the corner of his eye to avoid being sensed by the keen Nascent Soul.

As he expected, the Bishan Sect sent important monks to participate in the auction held every twenty years in the Central Territory.

According to intelligence, this Fairy Bishui is the monk with whom True Lord Qingmu has the best relationship. The two have shared hardships and have an extraordinary friendship, and even have a subtle relationship.

But the two True Lord who got along day and night were not together after all, and they never showed any signs of being too close to the public.

"True Lord Qingmu, you are really willing to let the junior sister with whom you have the best relationship go out alone..."

Lan Chang'an's eyes flashed and his thoughts whirled.

To a certain extent, Fairy Bishui is True Lord Qingmu's confidante, similar to the relationship between Lan Chang'an and Zhao Siyao back then.

Fairy Bishui is not completely single.

Behind him are two or three mid- to late-stage Golden Core Realm, who are the powerful elders of the Bishan Sect and the seeds of Nascent Soul.

Watching several figures leave, Lan Chang'an was not in a hurry to follow them. He ran Divination Art and made some calculations.

It is true that Lan Chang'an can intercept or capture halfway, with a very high success rate.

But once Nascent Soul Cultivator is captured, Lan Chang'an's identity will inevitably be exposed, causing True Lord Qingmu to feel it.

Fairy Bishui is not the new Nascent Soul. Dao Defense Alliance can be considered a strong player among Nascent Soul Early Stage, and cannot be compared with the likes of Yin Yuanhai.

Bishan Sect is a great sect of Central Region cultivating immortals, with more heritage than Dao Defense Alliance. Golden Sun Sect has produced more than one Nascent Soul Middle Stage giant in history.

Senior brothers True Lord Qingmu and Bishan Sect can rest assured that if this woman goes out, she will definitely give her good life-saving means. Perhaps facing Nascent Soul Middle Stage's interception, they all have certain self-protection capabilities and are confident in escaping.

"Currently, True Lord Qingmu should not be sure. I have arrived at Central Region and am squatting near the Bishan Sect."

"True Lord Bishui went out, participated in the auction, worked for Green Wood, and traded the materials needed to refine Law Treasure..."

After calculation, Lan Chang'an has made a rough judgment.

True Lord Qingmu still can't shrink out.

For the demand for refining Law Treasure, True Lord Bishui was asked to go out and do it for him.

I have to admit that this arrangement is safer.

Green Wood or Lan Chang'an cannot easily attack Fairy Bishui.

Lan Chang'an looked back at the Bishan Sect with a deep and cold gaze.

Its mountain gate has four-level middle-grade Spirit Vein and Sect-Protecting Array, which are open and loose on the outside and tight on the inside.

"Now that Bishan Sect has one less Nascent Soul in charge, the defensive strength will be weakened..."

Lan Chang'an continues to calculate the success rate of sneak assassination.

The result made him frown.

Bishan Sect Even if a Nascent Soul Cultivator is out, the difficulty of sneak assassination has not been reduced much.

There is a mysterious force of heaven hiding in the Unseen, making Lan Chang'an's calculations against the Bishan Sect unclear and causing obvious resistance.

"Bishan Sect As Central Region is a major sect of cultivating immortals, it is inevitable that there are hidden treasures and secret treasures in the sect. True Lord Qingmu has suffered two big losses. Knowing that there is a fourth-level Divination Grandmaster behind me, it is normal to be on guard..."

"Besides, Bishan Sect also has a key figure, the peak Nascent Soul Early Stage Chen True Lord. As the veteran Nascent Soul, he controls the sect's treasure, the fourth-level mid-level Sect-Protecting Array..."

Lan Chang'an stopped calculating and made a decision.

After all, Central Region is the home court of True Lord Qingmu, and it is not surprising that there are trusted allies taking care of it.

If there were more allies in the Dao Defense Alliance and Lan Chang'an, except for Zhang Tianfeng, Fairy Xia, Cult Leader Liang, and Chu Tianfeng who are closest to him, they would not reject his request for help.

After a cup of tea.

Lan Chang'an left Bishan Sect and followed Fairy Bishui and his group of four.

Fairy Bishui leads three Core Formation Cultivator. Their escape speed is not as fast as Nascent Soul Old Monsters acting alone, so it is not difficult to track them.

After careful consideration, Lan Chang'an gave up the strategy of sneaking in for assassination, mainly because of the high risk and bad subsequent consequences.

He has the body skin of Green Wood, and can continue to track and calculate its approximate location, so there is no need to rush.

Now, True Lord Qingmu is planning to create a protective Law Treasure, which will not leave in the short term, so this can be used as an entry point.

Central Region auction is located at Great Qing first Immortal City, Five Spirits City.

Five huge spiritual mountains guard a magnificent ancient cyan Immortal City. The outer layer is covered by clouds and mist, and the colorful light of Five Elements Array flows inside.

A few days later.

Fairy Bishui and his party entered the city, but Lan Chang'an did not continue to follow.

On the way, he took note of the female True Person's Law Power aura.

Five Spirits City The monks who come and go have reached their peak in the past twenty years, gathering Great Qing high-level monks from various domains.

There are even a small number of Demonic Path camp monks who hide their identities.

Hundreds of years ago, Ten Profound Sects defeated Six Demonic Sects and expelled the latter from Central Region. The two sides also reached an armistice agreement, so that no conflict could arise between the two sides.

The Central Region auction has no express regulations and monks Demonic Path are not allowed to participate.

Five Spirits City does not strictly screen the identity of foreign monks. The formation he is in is Great Qing's top class, and he has enough confidence.

Under this background, a "Cloaked Elder" from the outside world successfully entered Five Spirits City.

Cloaked Elder settled in an inn of Five Spirits City, inquired about the auction in the city, and paid attention to some big names.

Such behavior is common and inconspicuous in Five Spirits City, which has a huge flow of people.

In the following two days, Cloaked Elder changed his identity and purchased some information in batches from several intelligence organizations of Five Spirits City.

"Heavenly Knowledge Pavilion, Great Qing Central Region also has this intelligence organization? It's really not that simple..."

Cloaked Elder hesitated for a moment and did not enter this mysterious intelligence force that Eastern Region had patronized before.

While collecting intelligence, Cloaked Elder secretly paid attention to the movements of Fairy Bishui's group and found no abnormalities yet.

Fairy Bishui and several Nascent Soul Cultivator from the Mystic Sect camp have met each other, but the details are unknown.

Three days later, the number of high-level monks gathered at Five Spirits City reached a peak.

The Central Region auction is jointly organized by Great Qing several top chambers of commerce.

Due to the large number of auction items and participants, the auction lasted three days.

On the third day of the auction, it was a special session for high-level monks, and there was no shortage of Nascent Soul Old Monsters.

At the auction site, the sound of bidding occasionally came, and there was an invisible majesty and depression in the deserted scene.

Whenever Nascent Soul Old Monsters makes a bid in the venue, and the powerful Divine Sense passes by, the monks nearby Golden Core Realm dare not show their anger, and are on pins and needles.

"Is there a higher bid?"

"Otherwise... this extremely high-quality [Tribulation-Resolving Umbrella] will fall into the hands of this fellow Daoist."

The auctioneer was an old man with white hair, and his slightly curious eyes passed over Cloaked Elder's body.

"This foreign Daoist friend, can you give Wind and Cloud Hall a little favor? [Tribulation-Resolving Umbrella] is what this closed disciple urgently needs."

On the suspended stand in the distance, a middle-aged man named Nascent Soul in a black and yellow broad robe, standing like a rock, looked down from a high position, and his voice was like muffled thunder, falling from the sky.

"The old granddaughter also needs [Tribulation-Resolving Umbrella] to fight against Heavenly Thunder Tribulation."

Cloaked Elder seemed dissatisfied with the man's strong and domineering tone, and said in a sinister tone:

"Why, one of the dignified Wind and Cloud Hall, Central Region Ten Great Sects, whose financial resources are no match for the old Southern Region Rogue Cultivator, wants to use his power to overwhelm others?"

"Hmph! You hide your head and show your tail, but you dare to tell me your name? Could it be the Demonic Sect monk in disguise!"

Wind and Cloud Hall's Nascent Soul is sulky in middle age, his thick eyebrows are furrowed, his tiger eyes are shining brightly, and the powerful Nascent Soul Divine Sense sweeps over Cloaked Elder.

The tit-for-tat confrontation between the two sides made the cultivators at the auction look askance.

Some Nascent Soul Cultivator cast interested glances at Cloaked Elder.

Although Wind and Cloud Hall ranks lower than Ten Profound Sects, his behavior has always been domineering and he hates evil as much as he wants.

"Joke!"

Cloaked Elder snorted coldly, ignoring Wind and Cloud Hall Nascent Soul, the powerful middle-aged Divine Sense, who faintly exuded a burning aura of extreme inflammation.

On the contrary, Wind and Cloud Hall's middle-aged Nascent Soul couldn't help but groaned, his face turned slightly pale, and was shocked away by the other party's Divine Sense, which almost broke his heart.

"I'm afraid this person Divine Sense is close to Nascent Soul Middle Stage, and actually caused a hidden loss to the Wind and Cloud Hall's "True Lord Leiming"."

"Fire type Cultivation Method? I wonder which old monster is Southern Region?"

"Southern Region Earth Flame Volcano happens frequently and the environment is harsh, but Fire-Type Technique has a lot of high-level monks. If you are not a monk who has been there all year round, I really can't guess who this person is."

Amid the discussion among high-level monks, the bidding item [Tribulation-Resolving Umbrella] fell into the hands of the mysterious Cloaked Elder.

Wind and Cloud Hall and True Lord Leiming looked gloomy and had no seizure.

It's not that he doesn't want to raise the price anymore.

First, the bidding price has reached a serious premium.

Second, the auctioneer asked for two rare spiritual materials, and those who met the conditions were given priority. He couldn't get them, but Cloaked Elder was able to get them.

Moreover, Cloaked Elder's cultivation level Divine Sense is better than his, and the flame-type Law Power's aura is very different from the Demonic Sect's. This makes True Lord Leiming's previous words seem unreasonable.

To take a step back, the Central Region auction will face the entire Great Qing, and there is no explicit restriction on the Demonic Path monks.

In the aftermath of the auction and before the finale, the quality of the auction items gradually increased, and there were many items in demand for Nascent Soul Cultivator, materials and spiritual items of level four or above.

During this period, Cloaked Elder made two more bids, with strong bids and overwhelming competitors, attracting attention.

Cloaked Elder not only bids high and has deep pockets, he can also provide the scarce and unpopular materials needed by the client.

Even if they lose, the bidder is convinced.

One of the items up for auction is a fourth-level Fire Element spirit medicine.

Cloaked Elder paid a high premium for this, further confirming its identity as Southern Region Fire Element Nascent Soul Old Monsters.

On another suspended stand, three Core Formation Cultivators, Fairy Bishui and Bishan Sect, were sitting.

It is inevitable that I will pay attention to the wealthy Cloaked Elder and Fairy Bishui, and feel a bit envious in my heart.

She secretly thought that if she had Cloaked Elder's net worth and assisted Senior Brother Green Wood in building the guardian Law Treasure, she wouldn't have to be so careful.

"This Southern Region old monster spends a lot of money and has a lot of scarce resources. Could it be that he has excavated some High Antiquity cave or dangerous forbidden place? Maybe he has the Wood Element Law Treasure materials that Brother Green Wood needs."

Fairy Bishui My thoughts are turning and I am making up my mind.

Little does she know that she is also the target of Cloaked Elder's attention.

In this auction, Fairy Bishui's harvest was average. He only got a piece of fourth-level spiritual wood, and paid a high premium.

There were two precious refining materials that were in urgent need, but she had not competed with them. One of them was taken away by Cloaked Elder.

Fairy Bishui was secretly annoyed, but Cloaked Elder's quotation was more than 30% higher than hers, and she lost her temper.

After the auction ends.

Cloaked Elder took the three auction items calmly and paid Spirit Stone and the materials.

In this auction, in addition to the Fire Element spirit medicine, other refining treasures and [Tribulation-Resolving Umbrella] can also be used.

[Tribulation-Resolving Umbrella] is for Mystic Water Turtle to transfer Heavenly Thunder Tribulation in the future.

Lan Chang'an [Thunder Transformation Bead], who once overcame the tribulation, was reimbursed on the spot. Although there are still talismans and treasures that can withstand thunder, the effect is much worse.

The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation of monsters and spiritual beasts are more powerful than human monks and should not be underestimated.

The useless Fire Element spirit medicine and the Great Abyss in Linhai are extremely scarce and can be sold at least twice as high.

Traveling through the two major realms of cultivating immortals, Nascent Soul gained a lot, plus the profit resources distributed after Demonic Path War, Lan Chang'an can be said to be extremely rich.

His resource reserves and rare materials far exceed those of most Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Through Hundred Illusion Mask, Lan Chang'an pretends to be a Fire Element Nascent Soul Cultivator this time.

The effect is so real because Master Lihuo of Fourth Life reduces the shadow of Previous Life.

Master Lihuo is a typical Fire Element method.

In addition, there are spare Fire Element talismans and the best Law Treasure Blazing Fire Gourd.

Of course, it is possible to see clues about Divine Sense's powerful Nascent Soul Cultivator. But at most, it is possible to see that Lan Chang'an is disguised, and it is difficult to see through its true identity without taking action.

"This fellow Daoist Southern Region, please stay!"

Lan Chang'an had just stepped out of the auction venue when a gentle and magnetic male voice came from behind.

The person who came was a White Mask man with long navy blue collar and tied black hair. He was about thirty years old and looked like a graceful scholar.

Lan Chang'an has an impression of this person. He is Nascent Soul Cultivator, the worshiper of the chamber of commerce behind the auction.

During the auction, not only Nascent Soul Cultivator from Central Region, but also Nascent Soul Old Monsters from other domains knew this person and called him "True Lord Ai".

"It turns out to be True Lord Ai from "Tianhe Chamber of Commerce". Do you have any advice?"

The Cloaked Elder transformed by Lan Chang'an has a smooth face.

"Do you know Ai, fellow Daoist? I don't know how to call him?"

True Lord Ai is not surprised that Lan Chang'an knows him. Tianhe Chamber of Commerce is Great Qing's first chamber of commerce. As a core figure, he has dealt with high-level monks from Great Qing's various domains.

"My surname is Jing."

"It turns out to be fellow Daoist Jing! When we first met, Ai had a feeling of déjà vu. Have we met somewhere?"

True Lord Ai looked at Cloaked Elder doubtfully, and became familiar with each other to get closer.

"Haha! Decades ago, Jing met True Lord Ai from a distance, but it was not the way it is today."

Lan Chang'an made a haha, ambiguous and confused.

After exchanging a few words, True Lord Ai quickly explained the purpose of his visit:

"Every time Central Region auctions, Five Spirits City gathers high-level monks from the five realms of Great Qing. After the auction happens every twenty years, Ai and several colleagues organize a Nascent Soul Exchange Meeting to conduct higher-level private transactions."

"The exchange meeting will be mainly Central Region. In addition, some powerful colleagues from other regions will be invited to participate."

"That's it! I wonder which Nascent Soul comrades will participate in this exchange?"

Lan Chang'an was secretly happy and asked casually.

He showed great wealth and revealed some scarce resources at the auction just to attract Central Region Nascent Soul Cultivator's interest.

He had already learned about Central Region Nascent Soul Exchange Meeting after the auction.

"Haha, there are many famous legendary figures in this exchange meeting Great Qing."

"For example, Star Pavilion's "True Lord Lingyu", Dragon Tiger Mountain's "True Lord Subduing Dragon"... even "Medicine King" is at Five Spirits City and agreed to our invitation."

"Tsk tsk... Jing has been looking up to such big figures for a long time."

Lan Chang'an showed his yearning and readily agreed to the invitation.

True Lord Ai not only invited Lan Chang'an, but also left an invitation letter, said a few words, and left.

Nascent Soul Exchange Meeting will be held that evening, so there is no need to rush.

"True Lord Lingyu..."

Lan Chang'an put away the invitation and was very familiar with this name.

Hundreds of years ago, Son of Luck was born in the Jing Kingdom of the Dao Defense Alliance. He went to the most prosperous Central Region of Great Qing, became Nascent Soul True Lord, and joined the ancient sect of cultivating immortals.

The existence of this Son of Luck allows the relatively weak neighboring Jing Kingdom to become a neutral trading and immortality country.

Later, this Son of Luck intervened in Demonic Path War on the grounds of protecting his homeland Jing Kingdom.

In the most dazzling battle, True Lord Lingyu defeated and seriously injured Sect Master Meng Beast King Valley.

It is rumored that True Lord Lingyu had a private fight with Wujian Sect Master, but the world does not know the specific results.

Over the years, Lan Chang'an became the boss of the Dao Defense Alliance, and secretly communicated with True Lord Stealth Shadow, so he knew the general ending.

In that battle, both of them suffered losses.

In other words, nearly a hundred years ago, True Lord Lingyu had the strength to compete with the leader Demonic Sect.

In Lan Chang'an's view, True Lord Lingyu's hard power is probably higher than Wujian Sect Master's.

First, Wujian Sect Master's style does not involve direct attacks, but mostly surprise assassinations.

True Lord Golden Moon of the Proud Moon Palace was disguised by Wujian Sect Master and killed with one blow. Nascent Soul didn't even have time to get out of his body.

Of course, stealth assassination is actually part of the strength.

The second point of evidence is that True Lord Lingyu showed up in Central Region a few years after the war and had recovered from his injuries.

As for Wujian Sect Master, it has been silent for many years, and at least the recovery from injuries is much slower.

Now after so many years, True Lord Lingyu has become the leader of Ten Profound Sects.

The dusk is dim and the moon is rising in the sky.

In the center of Five Spirits City, the fourth-level Spirit Vein forbidden area where Tianhe Chamber of Commerce is located, there is an island with beautiful scenery in the middle of the lake.

Within half an hour, more than a dozen Nascent Soul Escape Light arrived at the cave where Lake Heart Island was located.

With the help of Black Wind Cloak, Lan Chang'an is hiding in a shadow corner dozens of miles away.

Until a certain moment.

He caught a familiar green Water Evasion light and landed in Lake Heart Island the core forbidden area of Five Spirits City.

"Arrived."

Lan Chang'an felt happy, but did not act immediately.

"Haha, Fairy Bishui is here!"

"True Lord Tian, why didn't your noble "True Lord Qingmu" arrive at this exchange meeting?"

In an open-air square of Lake Heart Island, ten or twenty people Nascent Soul Cultivator were sitting.

Seeing the arrival of Fairy Bishui, some Nascent Soul comrades stood up and greeted each other. There were also some Nascent Soul Old Monsters who sat indifferently.

After chatting for a while, Fairy Bishui found a Meditation Cushion and sat down.

She quietly surveyed the scene. More than 70% of them were familiar faces, and most of them were monks from other areas whom she didn't recognize.

Great Qing has a vast territory. Even in Central Region's homeland, there are many of Fairy Bishui's peers who have never seen it. What's more, there are Nascent Soul Cultivator in many remote corners of the other four regions.

Fairy Bishui frowned slightly, thinking of the wealthy, Law Power mysterious Cloaked Elder who possessed many scarce resources at the daytime auction.

She expected that with that person's strength and financial resources, he would be able to get this Nascent Soul Exchange Meeting invitation.

Of course, there are also some monks who don't like this kind of exchange meeting, or have their own small circle, and will not come to participate even if they receive an invitation.

In fact, Fairy Bishui is not the only one who is looking forward to the arrival of Cloaked Elder.

Monks of the same generation who possess scarce resources and are generous and heroic are naturally popular on Nascent Soul Exchange Meeting.

Moreover, in every Central Region exchange meeting, Central Region monks naturally have an advantage. Even if they cannot kill fat sheep from other places every time, they can often take advantage of the transaction.

Seeing it, the time for Central Region Nascent Soul Exchange Meeting to officially start is coming.

Just at the last moment.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two Escape Lights flew to Lake Heart Island where the exchange meeting was held, almost in no particular order.

"True Lord Lingyu is here!"

On Lake Heart Island, Nascent Soul Cultivator from all domains were silent for a moment, and then stood up to greet them.

Among them, a star-like blue Escape Light faintly pulls Taiyin in the night sky, shaking the stars in the sky.

Buzz!

The starlight slowly faded away, revealing an unusually young silver-haired man wearing a star robe; his appearance could be described as a handsome boy, which was seriously inconsistent with his actual age.

He has stern facial features like marble carvings, a perfect three-dimensional sense, and a pair of starry eyes with infinite depth. A faint Blue Star star mark appears on his forehead between his eyebrows, adding a bit of mystery and nobility.

True Lord Lingyu did not release spiritual pressure deliberately, but Nascent Soul Cultivator who was on the field felt an inexplicable pressure coming from the entire sky.

Even the giant Nascent Soul Middle Stage who was already present was obviously suppressed by the force of his energy.

True Lord Lingyu ignored True Lord Ai, True Lord Subduing Dragon, True Lord Leiming and others who came to Lake Heart Island.

"Huh?"

His sharp eyes subconsciously looked sideways and downwards.

Cloaked Elder, which escaped almost at the same time, was obscured by the stars Escape Light and had no sense of existence.

When did this old guy arrive?

I am one with the stars and the dark night, and you don't even notice?

"Huh?"

Cloaked Elder had the same reaction, looking at True Lord Lingyu with a slightly different look.

Lan Chang'an was secretly surprised, when did True Lord Lingyu appear in the night sky, and how could he not notice it after hiding for so long?

Besides, is this guy sick? He has to appear at the last moment.

After the two said "Hmm", their eyes met involuntarily, and they instantly noticed a similar hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
