Only after becoming emperor did he realize he was in a fantasy world of immortal cultivation.

After a short while, He Buxi stared intently at Lin Yuan, who was walking out ahead.

He only looked away when Lin Yuan's figure had completely disappeared from his sight.

Unwittingly, his gaze fell upon the longsword atop the levitation furnace.

His eyes seemed to be touched, and his hand subconsciously touched the storage bag at his waist.

Inside was the wind-stabilizing stone that Lin Yuan was still missing.

This is all that the Gong family could buy within their territory.

For some reason, He Buxi felt a mix of complex emotions.

According to the plan, the wind-stabilizing stone would never be given to Lin Yuan.

but......

the other side.

Lin Yuan arrived at Huachao Market.

I stood in front of the auction house.

Early this morning, Lin Yuan received a telepathic message from Gong Yi.

I invited him to meet at the auction house.

Lin Yuan glanced around briefly.

People come and go.

Eventually, the crowd split into several streams, converging on the magnificent building before them.

A moment later, Lin Yuan followed the crowd into the auction house.

He paused, and a female cultivator in a pink dress stepped forward gracefully, saying, "Welcome to the auction house, fellow Daoist. Do you have an appointment?"

Lin Yuan nodded slightly and told the woman the name of the private room that Gong Yi had given him.

"Fellow Daoist, please follow me."

Lin Yuan then followed the female cultivator through the magnificent hall and arrived at a spiral staircase.

Climbing the stairs, after a few steps, I entered the reserved private room.

At this point, the female cultivator bowed and took her leave.

"Lin Yuan, you've finally arrived! Please have a seat." Inside the private room, Gong Yi immediately stood up to greet the visitor.

"Young Master Gong Yi, Young Master Gong Li," Lin Yuan bowed to the two men.

Then they sat down opposite each other.

"This auction is really lively today." This private room is not only huge, but its carved round window is also so wide that it can take in the entire hall.

Lin Yuan even saw a familiar face.

Zhou Wanwan was seen stepping into the hall from the doorway.

Four cultivators followed behind him, one of whom was Zhou Yan.

"Of course," Gong Yi nodded upon hearing this, and poured Lin Yuan a cup of tea as he said, "I heard that there are several mid-grade magic artifacts up for auction today."

At this point, Gong Yi seemed to have thought of something and laughed, "Of course, a mid-grade magic weapon is probably not a rare thing for you."

"However, today's auction will not only feature magical artifacts, but also several crafting materials."

"If you like it, go ahead and buy it," Gong Yi chuckled at Lin Yuan, adding, "I'll buy it for you."

Lin Yuan is now quite well-off, so if he sets his sights on any refining materials, he shouldn't lack the funds.

He was about to speak when he saw Gong Yi wink at him, then say meaningfully, "Ahem, my father's been in a good mood lately..."

Lin Yuan immediately understood.

He hadn't forgotten that Gong Yi had once borrowed spirit stones from him, and now that Gong Yi's father wasn't restricting his spending...

"Then Lin Yuan thanks you in advance, young master."

Gong Yi smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this.

"Look, isn't that Fellow Daoist Wanwan from the Zhou Clan over there?" Gong Li suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, both of them looked at the person opposite them.

Gong Yi said, "That's true."

"Who are the other three people who are with Fellow Daoist Zhou?" Lin Yuan asked casually.

"They're also from the Zhou Immortal Clan," Gong Yi said, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the other three.

"If I'm not mistaken, these three people have come because of our clan's invitation to a banquet."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly upon hearing this.

It was consistent with his guess.

"It seems that Wu Jue's celebratory banquet is going to be quite a lively affair."

Then Lin Yuan heard Gong Yi say something quite meaningful.

Lin Yuan: "What do you mean by that, young master?"
