Chapter 829: Chapter 386: Reunion with Old Friends, the Auction [Extended Chapter]

"Old Lin, after this Secret Realm, listen to me, either stay far away or join Bihai Palace, and definitely don’t wander off to the Outer Sea."

After discussing other matters, Hu Jin’s expression turned serious and he began advising Lin Chang’an.

Hearing this, Lin Chang’an secretly speculated, could it be that Bihai Palace really has some big move planned?

"Old Lin, I honestly don’t know the specifics, but the Outer Sea is definitely going to be chaotic."

It wasn’t easy for Hu Jin to be able to say this much, and Lin Chang’an smiled upon hearing it.

"Don’t worry, I naturally don’t want to get involved."

"That’s good. This place is rich in resources, but there’s one downside, it’s too prone to chaos."

Hu Jin, who has been working at the Law Enforcement Hall for over a hundred years, was full of helplessness.

When I was in Yue Kingdom, there was at least time to catch your breath, but here, the fights between Tribulation Cultivators are just daily occurrences.

For the Demon Beast Abyss, unless Bihai Palace and the Sixteen Sea Suppression Sects start fighting, or the sea tribes invade, that’s the only time it’s chaotic.

Otherwise, it’s all minor issues.

"By the way, Old Lin, many people will enter this Secret Realm. Don’t think that they could be allies outside, but once inside, as long as the Treasure is tempting enough, they can start fighting immediately.

So, Old Lin, be careful. After completing the Sixth Elder’s task, if you really have any ideas, be cautious about that final layer, don’t listen to the rumors outside."

Lin Chang’an naturally knew the rumors Hu Jin mentioned.

The final layer of this Secret Realm is a battlefield for Nascent Soul Cultivators. However, three to four thousand years ago, during a conflict among Nascent Soul Cultivators, there was an incident where a Core Formation Cultivator benefited greatly.

More strikingly, this Core Formation Cultivator was still only in the Middle Stage, which directly slapped many Nascent Soul Cultivators in the face.

It was sensational at the time, and to this day, the legend of this person still circulates in the Demon Beast Abyss.

Later, this person even formed a Nascent Soul, becoming a renowned Nascent Soul Late Stage Great Cultivator, and was considered the first legendary cultivator of the Demon Beast Abyss for a time.

Unfortunately, they disappeared during a Sea Beast Tide later on.

"I’ve naturally heard of this legendary cultivator. It’s said that this person was good at controlling a kind of Spiritual Worm, but just like you said, the Demon Beast Abyss has only produced one such person in tens of thousands of years, how could I be reckless?"

Lin Chang’an was amused but also touched by Hu Jin’s concern.

He dared to say he wouldn’t be reckless because he had opportunities.

If a Core Formation Cultivator was lost for direction, facing such an opportunity, he believed that cultivators bold enough to enter the Secret Realm would almost all choose to take a gamble.

The two talked a lot, and Lin Chang’an also learned that Old Hu was in the Law Enforcement Hall and formed a bond with a female Core Formation Cultivator after going through several dangers, leading them to become Dao Companions.

Now Hu Jin is content.

However, according to Hu Jin, he wasn’t just supported by his partner; he brought the dowry from a legacy obtained in the Secret Realm.

Lin Chang’an couldn’t help but feel envious, as Old Hu frequently mentioned in Celestial Profound City that his ancestors nearly produced a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Thinking back, what Old Hu said was indeed true.

"Attending the auction?"

"Yes, with the many risks involved in exploring the Secret Realm this time, I’m hoping to see if there’s Tier Four Fire Attribute Demon Beast Blood, or an Earth Attribute Demon Pill useful for the Cyan-Horned Bull."

There was no need to hide this from Hu Jin, and these needs had to be made clear, impossible to conceal.

"There shouldn’t be a problem, as the growing chaos outside has led recent auctions to feature all sorts of rare Treasures, attracting countless Loose Cultivators to join."

Hu Jin nodded solemnly upon hearing this.

And Lin Chang’an learned a lot of information from Hu Jin that he couldn’t have accessed outside, or through the Seven Kingdoms Alliance.

After all, different identities and locations lead to natural differences in the intelligence received.

From Hu Jin, Lin Chang’an learned that the disturbances in the Outer Sea were more severe than he imagined, and could lead to Nascent Soul Influence disputes with even a slight misstep.

"Then there’s the Xuan Yin Old Devil, who recently offended Master Lu. It’s rumored that his direct disciple, Huang Tianxiao, secretly infiltrated the Ghost Domain to make some transactions with the Yin Spirit Ghost King.

The Seven Kingdoms Alliance and the Four Seas Commerce Association have been keeping an eye on them, but so has our Bihai Palace..."

Lin Chang’an’s eyes flickered after hearing this. As long as the Nascent Soul Cultivator quarrels didn’t affect him, he couldn’t care less.

However, if he had the chance, he wouldn’t mind taking revenge for Old Ghost and He Yan against Huang Tianxiao.

And of course, there’s still the ongoing vendetta with people from the Huang Family of Li Huo Palace.

"But right now, everything else is secondary. The Tier Four Talisman Treasure requires the Fire Attribute Demon Beast Blood, and also the Spiritual Object for the Cyan-Horned Bull’s breakthrough, these two must be obtained."

Lin Chang’an pondered silently, planning to leave after obtaining what he needed at the auction, avoiding trouble, and waiting quietly for the Secret Realm to open.

The two of them, not having met for years, drank wine and discussed Dao for three days at the venue before Lin Chang’an left with his Sword Servant.

...

Two and a half months later, the Baoguang Pavilion auction opened.

During this period, Hu Jin also introduced Lin Chang’an to many Dao friends and informed him about various situations regarding Bihai Palace.

Although not explicitly stated, Lin Chang’an could see.

Hu Jin had the intention of drawing him into Bihai Palace, after all, with his skills as a Tier Three Upper Grade Array Master, if he really joined Bihai Palace, his status wouldn’t be that of an ordinary Core Formation Cultivator.

Lin Chang’an naturally appreciated Hu Jin’s goodwill.

If it weren’t for some secrets he carried, and his plans with Yun Yao, perhaps joining Bihai Palace would indeed be a good choice.
