"Excuse me, fellow Daoist..."
A female cultivator approached Wang Dun's seat. She was also a Foundation Establishment Realm disciple.
"This should be my seat!"
Wang Dun and He Pingsheng both looked at her.
"Hehe... no problem..." Wang Dun took out a numbered token. "Fairy, how about we trade seats?"
"My seat is quite nice. It's in the VIP section upstairs!"
The woman nodded. "All right!"
She exchanged numbered tokens with Wang Dun and left.
He Pingsheng said enviously, "Brother Wang, you even have a token for the VIP section. You're doing pretty well for yourself!"
"Not bad!" Wang Dun's face lit up as he said, "Hehe... you probably don't know this, but I'm currently ranked fourth on the Dragon Roar Ranking, so I get a few special privileges. Whenever I attend one of the major auctions, I'm given a VIP seat!"
"But it's not actually much use!"
He Pingsheng thought, So that Wang Dun on the Dragon Roar Ranking really was you!
"Have you joined some major sect, Senior Brother Wang?" He Pingsheng continued.
Wang Dun shook his head. "No... quite a few lineages have tried to recruit me over the years. Some even offered to marry their proud daughters of heaven to me, but I turned them down!"
"Right now, I'm just a rogue cultivator!"
"I've been a rogue cultivator ever since I left the Great Void Sect!"
He Pingsheng was astonished. Heavens... that's impressive. Without a sect's resources to support him, this fellow's cultivation still advanced so quickly. He clearly has something up his sleeve.
Most likely, he has some great secret.
But He Pingsheng did not covet other people's secrets.
Who could travel far along the path of cultivation without a few secrets or fortuitous encounters?
The two chatted a while longer as more and more people
