The treasure appraisal event was even better than Yang Zhen had imagined. Unexpectedly, while Yang Zhen was still thinking about how to blend into the crowd, the treasure appraisal event had already begun.
In the sky above Qianyuan Ridge, the terrifying vitality of heaven and earth seemed like a huge whirlpool, covering the entire Qianyuan Ridge.
Yang Zhen stared blankly at the raging vortex of air above Qianyuan Ridge, with bolts of lightning and thunder, as if someone were undergoing a tribulation. His face was full of absurdity.
"This is too casual!" The Shameless Cat's face was also full of absurdity. It somehow managed to bite a hole in Yang Zhen's sleeve, and poked its head out with a look of disdain. "Fake, it must be fake. I don't know what the Yaoguang Holy Land and the Three Mountains Holy Land are up to. They must have some ulterior motive."
Yang Zhen's expression returned to calm. He glanced at the Shameless Cat and said, "What do you know? That's exactly what gives us more opportunities. Remember, we're not going to cause any trouble this time. The more low-key we are, the better. Ideally, we should leave after we see the young lady."
"Why?" The Shameless Cat asked with a curious look on its face, then pouted and said, "This isn't like you, kid. If it were before, even if no one was spreading rumors that you were going to cause trouble, you would have still made a complete mess of this treasure appraisal event."
As Yang Zhen walked, he tore a strip of cloth from the hem of his clothes to patch up the hole the Shameless Cat had chewed out. Then, looking at the black clouds in the sky, he said, "This time is different. There are Great Saint level experts everywhere. If they really cause trouble, we might be in danger."
The Shameless Cat's voice disappeared; it was unclear whether Yang Zhen's patch had worked or if it had been frightened by Yang Zhen's words.
But thinking about it, it makes sense. There are already several Great Saint in the Three Mountains Holy Land and Yaoguang Holy Land. If Yang Zhen, with his meager cultivation, were to cause trouble, he might really not be able to leave.
Han Yan'er followed beside Yang Zhen Yang Zhen, looking at him with a strange expression, and asked, "Are you really decided? You'll leave after finding your sister?"
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "I'll leave once I find the young lady. I finally found an opportunity to break through to the Half-Step Great Saint realm, so I need to find a place to properly break through. I have a feeling this breakthrough will cause quite a stir."
Han Yan'er chuckled, her voice filled with amazement as she watched the group of people around her.
"When have you ever made a breakthrough that didn't cause a stir?"
Hearing Han Yan'er's words, Yang Zhen was taken aback, then exclaimed, "Oh dear, it seems that's true."
At this moment, a young man in white carrying a feather fan walked towards Yang Zhen and his companion, and said with a smile, "You two are also going to the treasure appraisal conference, right? May I ask where you come from and which holy land you studied under?"
Before Han Yan'er could speak, Yang Zhen glared at her and said, "No, no, we two are disciples of the Water Curtain Cave Grotto-Heaven of the Flower-Fruit Mountain Blessed Land!"
" Flower-Fruit Mountain?" The young man was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It must also be a legacy from the Great Wilderness Era. I am Bai Xinsi, a disciple of the Yuanyang Holy Land, and I am..."
"Listen to this, what a waste of effort!" Yang Zhen said to Han Yan'er, tilting his head.
Han Yan'er glared at Yang Zhen and secretly pinched him.
Even a ghost could see what Bai Xinsi was up to, but if he wanted to steal Yang Zhen's man, he'd obviously need to cultivate for decades or even centuries.
"So it's Fellow Daoist Bai! I've heard so much about you!"
"You've heard of me?" Bai Xinsi looked at Yang Zhen with a surprised expression and a smile.
Yang Zhen nodded and said, "Of course I've heard of it, but I don't know if Fellow Daoist Bai is doing this this time..."
"Come with me!" Bai Xinsi grabbed Yang Zhen's hand and rushed into the crowd.
Qianyuan Ridge is not a desolate wilderness; on the contrary, it is very well-developed, with mountain terraces and pavilions everywhere, making it even more magnificent than the Yuanzong Temple on Baiyun Mountain.
By this time, the entire Qianyuan Ridge was teeming with people. Yang Zhen was pulled into the crowd by Bai Xinsi, who laughed heartily and said, "Fellow Daoist Yang Pipi, we hit it off immediately! Unfortunately, the Yuan Yuanyang Holy Land can only be viewed from this level and cannot proceed further. I wonder how many holy lands Flower-Fruit Mountain is? Could you take me there...?"
"Okay, this is fine!"
Yang Zhen pulled Han Yan'er down to sit, and said to Bai Xinsi, who was still thinking about having Yang Zhen take him a little further up, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Bai, we're fine here."
Pretty good?
Bai Xinsi looked completely bewildered.
"No, you're not... this is the only way you can go?"
Seeing Bai Xinsi's expression of having wasted her efforts, Yang Zhen and Han Yan'er burst into laughter.
Yang Zhen patted Bai Xinsi on the shoulder and said, "Let me tell you a secret, Flower-Fruit Mountain is actually Primordial Wilderness heritage, but... you know, if I say it, it will definitely terrify the Three Mountains Holy Land and Yaoguang Holy Land. And... with me, you'll have more Niu Bi when you go out in the future!"
Upon hearing Yang Zhen's words, the group of people around Bai Xinsi burst into sneers.
"Senior Brother Bai, I've told you before, your method of making friends is flawed. Don't assume someone is more important than you just because they have a good aura. It's laughable. What Primordial Wilderness inheritance? If it were truly Primordial Wilderness inheritance, the Yaoguang Holy Land would have already treated it as an honored guest. Why would they be here watching you from afar?"
"Yes, it's such a pity that such a beautiful woman is with such a boastful young man, Yang Pipi, right... Hmm? Yang Pipi, I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before?"
The group chatted and laughed, but they weren't really angry. Who doesn't have the habit of boasting?
Most people were making fun of Bai Xinsi, and didn't have much malice towards Yang Zhen.
Yang Zhen didn't care. He patted Bai Xinsi, who looked dejected and kept glaring at his fellow disciples, and said, "Even you don't believe me?"
"I believe you... I believe you for a second!" Bai Xinsi rolled her eyes at Yang Zhen.
Just as Yang Zhen was about to speak, Bai Xinsi suddenly exclaimed, pointing to the sky above Qianyuan Ridge, "Look! The real powerhouse has emerged!"
Yang Zhen stirred, and he looked in the direction from which the endless aura was coming, and was immediately taken aback.
The three Great Saint of Yaoguang Holy Land exuded towering auras, with bursts of violent energy enveloping the sky and resonating with the endless energy of heaven and earth in the air.
The appearance of the three powerful figures caused a huge sensation, with countless people exclaiming in surprise.
Just then, two more Great Saint appeared from mid-air, causing Yang Zhen to shrink back.
These two Great Saint must be from the Three Mountains Holy Land; Yang Zhen recognized one of them.
Beside the Holy Maiden Qingquan, Holy Maiden Qingquan master appeared calm, yet the aura emanating from him sent chills down one's spine.
"It's the Holy Maiden Qingquan! I never expected that the Holy Maiden Qingquan would actually break through to the Saint Realm. This... truly lives up to her reputation as one of the most renowned Holy Maidens in the Central Court. Her talent is no less than that of the Yaoguang Holy Son."
Bai Xinsi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with admiration as she looked at the Holy Maiden Qingquan.
Yang Zhen's expression was somewhat strange. His cheap wife's talent was actually slightly inferior to that of the Yaoguang Holy Son?
Just how powerful is the Yaoguang Holy Son?
In Yang Zhen's mind, the big X next to the name of the Yaoguang Holy Son became a little thicker, and a circle was drawn around it!
Damn it, calm down, calm down!
But for some reason, my hands are a little itchy!
