When I stopped licking, the lady panicked.

"Hmm?" Lin Xuan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man wearing a red robe with gold trim stand up.

That attire clearly indicates that they are disciples of the Heavenly Fire Palace.

The man said, "Since Young Master Lin has already bid for the spatial jade slip, why not open it on the spot and let everyone see it?"

"This way, everyone can be envious, and if His Highness comes up with a solution, everyone can lend a hand."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, that makes sense!"

"Indeed, this ancient battlefield is extremely fierce. If Your Highness encounters trouble here, everyone can lend a hand!"

"Yes, Your Highness, why don't you take a look? It would broaden everyone's horizons!"

The crowd began to stir up trouble.

Lin Xuan ignored them, because he knew that if he opened the sealed ancient battlefield here, it would be fine if nothing good came out, but if something good came out, he would be asking for trouble.

No one can touch him at the auction house, but what if he leaves the auction house?

Those people will come looking for you, drawn by the smell.

Secondly, even if Lin Xuan really encounters trouble because of opening the ancient battlefield, they will never help him; they will only stay far away.

Saying they'll lend a hand when someone's in trouble is just nonsense that only fools kids.

"Since you think it's reasonable to start here, why don't you start it?" Lin Xuan said, looking at the man.

The man paused for a moment, then laughed, "His Highness the Crown Prince spent a fortune to bid on this, how could I possibly..."

"It's okay, I agree, you drive." Lin Xuan interrupted the other person.

A hint of panic began to appear on the man's face. He knew that if he were to open the spatial jade slip, he would be taking a huge risk.

If he opens it and nothing goes wrong, that's fine. But if something goes wrong, he'll be the one who suffers, because he'll be taking the risk for Lin Xuan.

But if he didn't open it, it would mean that his cultivation level was average, which would be even more unacceptable.

Therefore, if he were to open the spatial jade slip, there would be no benefit for him, whether he opened it or not.

"Your Highness, I was just joking. If you don't want to, then I..."

"I didn't say I was unwilling." Lin Xuan interrupted him again, a chilling sneer on his face.

They want to save face, but did I agree?

Lin Xuan stood up and said to everyone, "I am willing to open the spatial jade slip so that everyone can appreciate the scenery of the ancient battlefield."

Then he looked at the man and said, "But since you made this request, I will entrust this glorious mission to you."

One sentence immediately thrust the man into the eye of the storm.

Trying to scam me? You'd better practice.

Feeling the gazes coming from all directions, the man panicked.

He originally only wanted to trick Lin Xuan. If he succeeded, he could also get free access to the information in the spatial jade slip.

If there are good things inside, then he can lead his fellow disciples to ambush Lin Xuan after the auction and seize the space jade slip.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan turned the tables on him.

Seeing that the other party was hesitant to make a move, Lin Xuan feigned disappointment and sighed, "Everyone, it's not that I don't want to show you, it's just that this brother is unwilling to share with you all~"

Everyone turned to look at the man.

"Open it! His Highness the Crown Prince has already agreed, why won't you open it?"

"Don't spoil the fun, let's go open it!"

The urging from the crowd caused the man's face to flush red and then pale.

"I have urgent business to attend to, so I must take my leave now!"

Unable to withstand the barrage of criticism, the man turned pale and helpless, unable to utter a single word in his defense for a long time.

In the end, he could only come up with a clumsy excuse, and then he awkwardly pushed through the crowd and ran away without even daring to look back.

Seeing the other party flee in disarray, Lin Xuan merely sneered and then slowly sat down.

You little punk, trying to mess with me?

Once the final spatial jade slip was auctioned off, the Wanjin Auction came to an end.

The bidders stood up, went to collect their items, and paid for them.

Lin Xuan put the Blood Spirit Mushroom, the spatial jade slip, and the Demon Spear "Annihilation" into his storage pouch. Then, Ruoshui took him to collect the three dual cultivation partners.

Inside the room, three scantily clad, sexy women sat with their heads bowed. Standing in front of them were Lin Xuan and Ruoshui, along with two guards from the auction house.

"Young Master Lin, here is a bone flute for you. If the three of them misbehave, play the bone flute and they will suffer excruciating pain." Ruoshui handed a bone flute to Lin Xuan and instructed him on how to control the three dual cultivation partners.

Lin Xuan nodded and took the bone flute.

Ruoshui added, "Furthermore, Young Master Lin should try to avoid talking to them as much as possible, because they are disciples of the Hehuan Sect and are most skilled at bewitching people. Once you fall under their spell, you are very likely to become their puppet, and the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "I know. I know the Joyful Union Sect better than you do."

"That's good then." Ruoshui nodded, staring at Lin Xuan with a curious expression.

"What's wrong? Is there something else?" Lin Xuan asked.

Ruoshui shook her head and said with great interest, "Ruoshui is just very curious as to why His Highness is so knowledgeable, as if he knows everything."

Lin Xuan said, "Knowing too much won't do you any good. In your line of work, you must avoid developing feelings for your customers."

Ruoshui covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "Your Highness is so annoying. I am not a woman of the night. Why do you say such things that are easy to misunderstand?"

"Furthermore, although Ruoshui is unmarried, she is not someone no one appreciates. How could she easily develop feelings for someone?"

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "That's good. Untie them."

Ruoshui nodded and instructed the guards to remove the shackles binding the three Daoist couples.

After the three Daoist partners were freed from their restraints, they looked at Lin Xuan with different expressions, then knelt in front of Lin Xuan and called him "Master" in unison.

Lin Xuan nodded and asked, "Does it have a name?"

Ruoshui explained, "Since they are now slaves, they have no names. What they are called in the future is entirely up to you."

Lin Xuan nodded, glanced at them, and named them according to their physical characteristics: Peach, Willow Waist, and Alluring Silk.

Upon hearing their names, the three female slaves glanced at each other instinctively, then nodded in agreement and said in unison, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing upon us these names."

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Let's go."

"Yes," the three female slaves replied in unison.

Dugu Sihai then appeared and personally saw Lin Xuan off.

"Young Master Lin, please take care. Our auction house welcomes your patronage at any time."

Lin Xuan nodded calmly and left the auction house with the three female slaves.

The evening wind howled, making the three female slaves shiver.

They didn't have a single complete piece of clothing on them to begin with, and now that they were starving and being blown around by the cold wind, they naturally couldn't take it anymore.

Lin Xuan noticed their discomfort and asked, "What's wrong? Are you cold? Aren't you martial cultivators at the Earth Profound Realm?"

"Master, we haven't eaten for three days, and our bodies are already exhausted..." Liu Yao explained weakly.

Lin Xuan glanced at the three men's lips, which were purple from the cold, and their shivering bodies. After a moment's thought, he took off his brocade robe and casually draped it over them, saying, "You three, squeeze in here for a bit. There will be food at the inn soon, and you won't be cold anymore."

They were originally bought by Lin Xuan to serve as guards, and now is the perfect time to win them over.

As expected, the three female slaves were flattered and grateful to Lin Xuan, their eyes glistening with tears and gratitude.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed by.

Immediately, thick smoke billowed up, completely surrounding Lin Xuan and his three companions.

"I gave you a chance long ago, but you didn't take it."

As a cold voice rang out, a man in a black cloak appeared in front of Lin Xuan.

It was the same one who had competed with Lin Xuan for these three female slaves at the auction.
