The Blazing Flame Sect! The scramble began

Ling Shanhai's heart pounded with unprecedented violence.

He had already prepared himself for the other party to demand a lion's share.

Even if the demands were utterly outrageous, he would do everything in his power to fulfill them!

Otherwise, this terrifying expert of unknown rank...

Might well turn their Sea Heart Auction House upside down!

If that happened, no one in the Sea Heart Auction House would escape unscathed!

At the thought of that possible scene of blood flowing in rivers, Ling Shanhai could not help shuddering inwardly.

He had poured his entire life's work into the Sea Heart Auction House!

This auction house was also the cultivation grounds for countless juniors and disciples of his.

No matter what, he could not disregard their safety!

"Senior, whatever you need, please say the word."

Ling Shanhai took a deep breath and continued.

Seeing that Lin Yu still had not spoken, he grew even more nervous.

There was no shortage of eccentric experts in this world.

Perhaps, with a mere lift of this man's hand, their Sea Heart Auction House would instantly be reduced to rubble!

"A wise choice."

Lin Yu smiled and nodded. With a turn of his right hand, a pill appeared in his palm.

"An eighth-tier pill, the Holy Infant Pill."

Lin Yu casually tossed the pill over.

Lin Yu had taken this pill from a corner of his immortal abode.

It had probably been missed during some previous cleanup of the trash.

Yet when Ling Shanhai saw this pill...

His expression changed wildly, and he looked utterly horrified, as though he had seen a ghost!

An eighth-tier pill!

Ling Shanhai had thought this was something he would never see in his entire life!

Although the Fire Spirit Earthly Baleful Intent Pill their Sea Heart Auction House had obtained this time had already reached the lower seventh tier.

Comparing it to an eighth-tier pill was no different from comparing a firefly to the radiant moon!

The gap between seventh-tier and eighth-tier pills was simply too vast to measure by ordinary reasoning!

Deeply shocked, Ling Shanhai released spiritual power from all around his body and caught the Holy Infant Pill with the utmost care.

The peculiar presence contained within these two items left even his heart pounding with alarm!

At this moment, after Lin Yu lifted the restraint on Ling Shanhai...

Ling Shanhai's powerful Nascent Soul Realm presence instantly spread outward!

At once, several concealed, powerful beings nearby sensed Ling Shanhai's presence!

"This presence... could it be the rarely seen household head of the Sea Heart Auction House?"

"Hmm... that should be him. To think this old fellow has broken through again!"

"His strength should have reached the nascent soul sixth tier by now!"

"Hmph, this fellow really is troublesome."

Several illusory figures conversed rapidly in the void.

The faint, elusive presences emanating from them were, astonishingly, all at the Nascent Soul Realm as well!

"Has someone made a move ahead of time?"

Elsewhere in the void.

A noble, graceful beauty covered her mouth and chuckled, but a trace of coldness flashed through her eyes.

They had come to Sea Heart City this time determined to obtain that Fire Spirit Earthly Baleful Intent Pill!

That was an extraordinarily precious lower seventh-tier pill!

For its sake, their sect had practically sent out all its elites!

"Sect Master, what should we do now?"

Beside the beautiful woman, a middle-aged man spoke with a rather grim expression.

The nascent soul sixth tier-Ling Shanhai's strength had already exceeded their expectations.

"It's too early," the beautiful woman said, her willow-leaf brows drawing together slightly.

Their original plan had been to wait until the auction ended, then intercept and kill the buyer along the way.

This was not their first time doing such a thing.

After all, no one wanted to clash head-on with the Ling Household, which controlled the Sea Heart Auction House.

Anyone who ran into those Nascent Soul experts would have a layer of skin stripped off.

Moreover, if their identities were exposed, it would be extremely disadvantageous to them.

But now, something unexpected had clearly happened.

The auction had not even begun, yet Ling Shanhai had already deployed his strength!

"Come, let's take a look first. Be careful to conceal your identities."

The beautiful woman pondered for a long while, then spoke with a frown.

This Fire Spirit Earthly Baleful Intent Pill was simply too important to them.

If they could obtain this pill, their sect might gain another supreme Nascent Soul Realm expert!

To them, this was an overwhelming temptation they could not refuse!

"Then let's go take a look first!"

Hearing this, the experts behind the beautiful woman all nodded.

They shot off toward the Sea Heart Auction House.

For a time.

Even ordinary people in Sea Heart City sensed something unusual in the air.

A mountain storm was about to break.

"Senior, this... this..."

At this moment, Ling Shanhai's expression was quite a sight to behold.

The pill in his hand.

Its true value probably far exceeded the combined assets of their Ling Household!

Even the legendary Soul Transformation experts, or those of still higher realms, would probably treasure it!

"Senior, this is too precious..."

Ling Shanhai's voice trembled incessantly.

There was fear.

Yet there was also a trace of excitement.

He had not forgotten that Lin Yu had just said he wanted to make a deal with him.

At this moment, Lin Yu also nodded slightly.

Lin Yu himself had fire-attribute pills.

But even the lowest-grade fire-attribute pills in his possession were ninth-tier.

Ninth-tier pills were not something ordinary people could consume.

Even a Nascent Soul expert like Xue Qing'er would absolutely be unable to withstand them!

The Sea Heart Auction House's Fire Spirit Earthly Baleful Intent Pill, however, was just right.

"This Holy Infant Pill, in exchange for the entire Sea Heart Auction House."

"You should understand that this is a good deal for your Ling Household."

Lin Yu spoke with a faint smile.

Hearing this, Ling Shanhai froze completely.

"Senior. You... you're not joking, are you?"

Ling Shanhai spoke with an odd expression.

The value of this Holy Infant Pill did indeed exceed that of the entire Sea Heart Auction House.

Moreover, money could buy the Sea Heart Auction House.

But it could not buy this Holy Infant Pill!

Never mind their Sea Heart Auction House.

Even if Lin Yu bought all of Sea Heart City, probably no one would utter so much as a word of objection!

"Senior... do you truly mean it...?"

"Of course I am willing!"

Ling Shanhai spoke with immense excitement.

"Even without this Holy Infant Pill, I would be willing to spill my liver and brains upon the ground for you, Senior!"

Ling Shanhai was a clever man.

He realized in an instant.

This was an opportunity that came once in a thousand years!

An opportunity that might allow their Ling Household to soar into the heavens in a single bound!

If he missed this chance, he would probably have to wait until his next life!

Sell!

How could I possibly not sell!

"You are a clever man."

Lin Yu nodded with a faint smile.

"From now on, your Ling Household will continue managing this Sea Heart Auction House on my behalf."

"Thank you for your immense kindness, Senior!"

Upon hearing Lin Yu's words.

Ling Shanhai's eyes grew moist!

This way, their Ling Household would not have to abandon its centuries-old enterprise!

Bang!

The next second.

With a bang, Ling Shanhai dropped straight to his knees and prostrated himself before Lin Yu!

The situation now was, in fact, this.

Their Ling Household had obtained an extremely precious pill.

And in the future, a peerless expert would also stand behind them!

Meanwhile, Lin Yu's ownership of the Sea Heart Auction House would have no real effect on its operations.

In this world where the weak were prey to the strong, Ling Shanhai had struggled his entire life for nothing more than survival!

To look after his children and disciples!

Now that a peerless expert already stood behind him.

There was no need to consider anything else!

An expression of utmost reverence appeared in Ling Shanhai's eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Yu also nodded with a faint smile.

"Senior, you must have come this time for that Fire Spirit Earthly Baleful Intent Pill?"

At this moment, Ling Shanhai spoke again.

Of everything their Sea Heart Auction House currently possessed.

Probably only this pill could catch this man's discerning eye.

"Mm, you are quite clever."

Lin Yu nodded with a faint smile. "Prepare some low-tier pills, cultivation methods, and spiritual treasures as well. Around the third or fourth tier will do."

To Lin Yu, these low-tier pills, cultivation methods, and such were trash among trash.

Indeed, his immortal abode contained none of these things.

But the Lin Household and the Su Household greatly needed them!

After all, they currently lacked the ability to practice those high-tier cultivation methods.

The resources of this Sea Heart Auction House were already enough to keep the Lin Household and Su Household occupied for a long time.

As for the future of the Lin Household and the Su Household, Lin Yu already had plans.

At Lin Yu's next destination, the Qianyuan Sect.

There would be more fortuitous opportunities belonging to the Lin Household and the Su Household.

"I'll have someone arrange it immediately!"

Ling Shanhai hurriedly said, "Senior, please take this Fire Spirit Earthly Baleful Intent Pill first."

Ling Shanhai respectfully handed over the dark red pill.

With a thought, Lin Yu.

Put it directly into his immortal abode.

"Heh heh, Old Man Ling, since when was tonight's final auction lot yours to give away as you pleased?"

At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out!

Hearing this voice, Ling Shanhai's expression abruptly darkened.

"Hahaha, Old Man Ling, you're taking us far too lightly, aren't you?"

"To think the show would begin so soon!"

At that moment, several overwhelmingly powerful presences.

Suddenly surged forth from midair!

Inside the auction house, several figures slowly emerged!

There were actually three supreme experts of the Nascent Soul Realm!

Their target seemed to be none other than the Fire Spirit Earthly Baleful Intent Pill!

"Heh heh, Old Man Ling, be good and hand it over."

The red-haired old man at their head let out a sinister cackle:

"Otherwise, don't blame my Blazing Flame Sect for not watching who it hurts!"

The old man's words fell.

The Nascent Soul experts all instantly unleashed their presences to the utmost!

The bearing in those words carried an endless sense of invincibility, of looking down upon all!

Today, with their forces joined.

There could be no one in Sea Heart City who could match them!
