Abyssal Netherflame, Vast Sea Thunder Whale

The price was nearly all of the Third-tier Elixirs Ning Fa had left, along with an additional eight hundred thousand spirit stones.

This left him with less than a million spirit stones.

Though it was still a considerable sum, it would not be quite enough for the next two auctions.

Ning Fa simply sold off most of the final batch of treasures he had obtained from the Golden Core Cultivators he had slain before, gaining another million-plus spirit stones. Only then did he feel somewhat at ease.

Before long, it was time for his appointment with Zhu Jun.

Under the cover of night, Ning Fa followed Zhu Jun to a smaller port within Zhenhai City.

Though it was already deep into the night, quite a few spirit boats were still coming and going through the port.

Zhu Jun smiled at Ning Fa. "Fellow Daoist Ning, the underground auction is being held on a hidden island in the Immortalless Sea. Please follow me."

With that, he took the lead and flew out over the sea.

Ning Fa looked with interest at the fabled Immortalless Sea.

The cold moon was like frost, spilling down its chilly radiance. It fell upon the sea, where the shimmering waves resembled countless fine silver scales leaping about, breathtakingly beautiful.

Ning Fa then gathered his escape light and followed.

The two flew more than five hundred li out to sea before Zhu Jun suddenly stopped and said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Ning, we have arrived."

Yet Ning Fa wore a puzzled expression. The waves here stretched endlessly in every direction—where was there any sign of an island?

But then his expression shifted slightly as he looked northeast.

Surprise appeared on Zhu Jun's face. Clearly, he had not expected Ning Fa to find it so quickly.
