Immortality and cultivation begin with drawing talismans...

Chapter 91 The Huang Family of Li Huo Palace

Two months later.

"This peaceful time will always be broken."

As Lin Chang'an stepped out of the cave, he looked at the bustling Tianxuan City and shook his head with a sigh. The hidden dangers always made him feel insecure.

As the auction drew near, the number of people in Tianxuan City increased daily, especially Foundation Establishment cultivators from neighboring countries who flocked to the city.

"gone."

With a storm brewing, Lin Chang'an now carries the Green Horned Ox in his spirit beast bag with him every time he leaves his cave.

"The auction will be held in three sessions, each three months apart. The most eye-catching event, and the one that attracts Foundation Establishment cultivators from neighboring countries to travel thousands of miles, is the final auction featuring Core Formation spiritual items."

Core Formation spiritual items are still a long way off for him. Not to mention he doesn't have the ability to get his hands on them yet, even if he did, they would just gather dust in his storage bag.

"My requirements aren't high; I just need to buy a top-quality flying needle magic artifact at the auction."

Looking at the more than 1,100 mid-grade spirit stones in his storage bag, Lin Chang'an sighed with emotion. He had always thought that he never had to worry about spirit stones.

It turned out that when he needed the money, he was still poor.

"This auction even includes second-tier formations."

A powerful formation can turn the tide at crucial moments.

However, the same formation needs to be set up in advance, and it is not as practical as a magic weapon.

"Formations are more suitable for dealing with demonic beasts. For me, a top-grade magic weapon like a flying needle is far more practical than a formation."

Lin Chang'an pondered to himself, actually because he was short of money. If he had tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones in his storage bag, he would have wanted to acquire both magic weapons and formations.

"Fellow Daoist Lin."

"So it's Fellow Daoist Chen."

On the bustling market street, they happened to run into Chen Qing, who was with his grandson. The two greeted each other and then smiled and bowed to each other before parting ways.

Among cultivators, the most taboo thing is to casually inquire about what others are buying.

Especially since the auction is about to begin, people will not go together even if they encounter acquaintances.

Lin Chang'an did not go directly to the auction, but instead went to Juxianlou first.

Juxianlou was bustling with business, but only Shen Lie was busy running around. When he saw Lin Chang'an arrive, he hurriedly went forward to greet him.

"Brother Lin, I've made arrangements. Qingqing is staying home with the two children."

One of the two children was clearly Wei Buyi's, and surprisingly, Wei Buyi, who was using iron crutches, was also there.

"In these turbulent times, it is necessary to be cautious."

Looking at the two's arrangements, Lin Chang'an nodded solemnly.

Beneath the glitz and glamour of Tianxuan City lurks countless dangers, but one thing everyone is well aware of.

The day Master Lu's disciple achieves Core Formation, Tianxuan City will surely be thrown into turmoil.

Because these forces would absolutely not stand idly by while Master Lu's disciple achieves the Golden Core stage.

"We will be more careful during this period, and if anything seems amiss, we will immediately return home."

Lin Chang'an nodded slightly, while Shen Lie took out a spirit stone bag with a smile on his face. He did not refuse.

After all, he had a share of Juxianlou's business over the past two years, so it was only right that he get a cut.

……

However, at that moment, a sudden uproar arose outside.

"Look, it's Huang Tianxiao from the Li Huo Palace!"

"Rumor has it that this person has already reached the Foundation Establishment stage and is the most promising genius among the younger generation of the Li Huo Palace to advance to the Golden Core stage."

"My God, they're using three second-tier demonic beasts to pull the cart."

Looking out from Juxianlou, one could see a very high-profile procession from Lihuo Palace on the street, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.

Lin Chang'an saw the incredibly luxurious carriage, with three enormous second-tier demonic beasts walking side by side, exuding a powerful aura. "What a grand display!"

Even Lin Chang'an couldn't help but feel envious after seeing this scene.

His second-tier spirit pet, which he cherished like a treasure, was actually used by a disciple of a powerful clan to pull a cart. At that moment, he realized that he was only considered pretty good among rogue cultivators.

There's still a gap between them and the real second-generation immortals.

"But it's okay, I have a long way to go, and I may not be able to surpass you in the future."

At this moment, Lin Chang'an felt a surge of confidence, knowing that he would definitely not be inferior to these people in the future.

"This is the beloved grandson of the Huang Patriarch of the Li Huo Palace. He has the talent of a Earth-level spiritual root and will probably be able to form a core in just a few years."

"Look at the people driving the carriage, they're all Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Just as everyone was exclaiming in surprise, Lin Chang'an on Juxian Tower also narrowed his eyes, because he saw outside the carriage, a man who looked like he was ready to be ordered around at any time. Wasn't that Huang Shaohai?

"This guy actually survived on the front lines."

Just as Lin Chang'an was secretly lamenting the loss, Shen Lie, who was beside him, also saw the Li Huo Palace's group outside and whispered:
"Brother Lin, I'll gather some information at the restaurant later."

Lin Chang'an nodded slightly after hearing this.

……

Meanwhile, inside the city, the ostentatious group from the Li Huo Palace...

"Brother, this is Tianxuan City. Those three peaks in the distance are the training grounds of the three Core Formation cultivators in the city, and that building is the Fengle Auction House of Tianxuan City..."

The once unruly Huang Shaohai spoke respectfully to the figure inside the car.

Huang Shaohai was merely a collateral descendant of the Huang family, while the one inside the car was the true young master of the Huang family.

"Hmm, Tianxuan City, it certainly has an impressive aura."

Huang Tianxiao, inside the car, gazed calmly at Tianxuan City. However, when he saw the three immortal peaks, his brows furrowed, revealing a hint of dissatisfaction.

Such a spiritual place, if it weren't for the influence of the former Divine Sword Sect, his Li Huo Palace would have taken over Tianxuan City long ago. Why would it be divided equally with Xuan Yin Pavilion, and even benefit a rogue cultivator whose lifespan is about to end?

"Remember this: don't cause me any trouble this time, or you know the consequences!"

The calm tone echoed in his ears, causing Huang Shaohai to break out in a cold sweat. He hurriedly nodded and said, "Young Master, rest assured, my father and I will follow your arrangements in this operation."

Although the person inside the car was also a Foundation Establishment cultivator, the pressure he felt was extraordinary.

Huang Shaohai even felt a little jealous. If he had such talent, he wouldn't be in this situation.

Inside the carriage, Huang Tianxiao frowned as he looked at the other two mountain peaks, secretly making plans in his mind.

"Our ancestor has already broken through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm, and has even secretly joined forces with the Divine Sword Sect to eliminate the others first. This time, we must disrupt the Golden Core formation of this True Person Lu's disciple."

Besides the three major sects, the only other force in the Yue Kingdom is Master Lu's faction.

The Li Huo Palace's plan is to first join forces with the Xuan Yin Pavilion to disrupt Master Lu's disciple's Core Formation, thus eliminating this top rogue cultivator from the game.

Next up is the Xuan Yin Pavilion!
"The ancestor is right. The Yue Kingdom is only so big and cannot accommodate too many forces."

Huang Tianxiao smiled as he thought about the plan.

When the top two leaders of the Yue Kingdom are vying for supremacy, they naturally need to eliminate the third and fourth leaders first, so that no one can benefit from their advantage.

……

As the group passed by, Lin Chang'an, who was in Juxianlou, was secretly alarmed.

In that brief moment, he sensed the immense pressure emanating from this prodigy of the Li Huo Palace.

"However, Huang Shaohai's aura suggests that he is still injured."

Lin Chang'an narrowed his eyes, secretly making plans in his mind.

Huang Shaohai's aura was clearly off; he must be injured. If given the chance, he might not want to miss it.

Of course, this is assuming there is an opportunity.
