Jinhai borders Yangcheng of the Central Plains Sun Dynasty and is named after a rare metal called "Star Gold" that is abundant in the area.

This metal can enhance the toughness of magical artifacts, and when enough star gold is incorporated into the artifact, it will also generate the "breaking the barrier" attribute, which is specifically effective against body cultivators with thick skin and tough flesh.

"This is outrageous! This metal is utterly evil!"

A man dressed in white, with a handsome face that was almost otherworldly, cursed loudly after hearing the young man's story.

This commotion attracted a lot of attention. Everyone looked over when they heard the voice, and when they saw the person speaking, the surroundings suddenly fell silent for a moment.

A moment later, the male cultivator gritted his teeth, while the female cultivator kept sending him flirtatious glances.

"Second Sister..."

Situ Zhao looked at the man beside him with envy. He wanted to learn this amazing disguise technique too!

"Call me Su Yu, Young Master Su."

The man glanced at her sideways, then swished open his folding fan with a "whoosh," his posture unrestrained and elegant, once again drawing gasps from many female cultivators.

"..."

Situ Zhao endured it.

Because he couldn't beat his opponent, but he still wanted to learn the technique.

But he didn't want to talk about that anymore, so he picked up where he left off and continued:

"The appearance of Star Gold has also given rise to a new profession in this sea area: gold diggers."

"People who try to make money off others."

Lin Qingyu succinctly revealed the truth.

"Second...Young Master Su is indeed exceptionally intelligent."

Situ Zhao's lips twitched, but he still gave her face and echoed her sentiment.

"Where there are gold seekers, there is naturally a need for places to trade. The Golden Islands are the largest trading place for star gold on this Golden Sea."

"What this young master says is quite right."

At that moment, a deep yet very pleasant voice came from ahead.

Lin Qingyu looked up and saw two figures standing quietly in front of her on the road.

The woman at the head of the group had an ordinary appearance and a somewhat aloof look in her eyes, but she exuded an aura of someone who had long held a high position, which was very oppressive.

Half a step behind her stood a young girl.

The girl was extremely beautiful, but the other woman's eyes were lowered and her posture was submissive, clearly indicating that she was in charge of the ordinary-looking woman.

Although the woman was talking to Situ Zhao, her gaze remained fixed on Lin Qingyu's face the entire time.

Yo?

There are women who can be taken advantage of.

Lin Qingyu had an exceptionally keen sense for this, and she instantly discerned the other party's thoughts.

"Fellow Daoists, it's a pleasure to meet you."

She politely cupped her hands in greeting, appearing as if she wanted to leave as soon as possible.

Remember, the more you want to get close to someone, the less eager you should be, otherwise they might use you as leverage.

"Nice to meet you."

The woman nodded slightly, her expression unchanged, seemingly unaware of Lin Qingyu's attitude, and continued:

"You two have come to these Golden Islands, presumably for the Star Gold, and..."

"Ahem!"

The girl coughed twice, interrupting the woman's self-identification.

The woman paused for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I have an invitation to this auction. Would you two like to enter together?"

"Okay, okay!"

Situ Zhao quickly responded.

"No!"

Lin Qingyu quickly waved her hand.

Seeing that three pairs of eyes were fixed on her, she then spoke righteously:

"How can I take advantage of them for nothing? When the auction begins, each of you ladies can choose one item you like as a token of my gratitude, how about that?"

The two women's eyes lit up, while Situ Zhao's face darkened.

"Hehe, thank you very much, young master. Don't blame me for asking for an exorbitant price later~"

The girl blinked, a sly glint in her eyes.

"Ying'er, don't be rude."

The woman rebuked him with a stern face, then turned to the handsome man in front of her, whose appearance was almost otherworldly, and forced out a somewhat gentle smile.

"Fellow Daoist, there is no need to worry."

"It's alright."

Lin Qingyu waved her hand generously.

"I am quite wealthy!"

......

Viewed from above, the Liujin Islands are not scattered, but form a complete circle.

The main island, named "Liujin Island," is located in the center of this circle.

The buildings on the island are quite unique, all made of a semi-transparent crystal, which is said to be a unique material from the Golden Sea and has the effect of gathering spiritual energy.

From a distance, it truly resembles a fairy palace on the sea.

The four walked along the main road of Liujin Island, with shops and stalls on both sides.

Lin Qingyu looked around with great interest and found that the goods sold here were quite different from those in the mainland.

Elixirs and magical artifacts were naturally plentiful, but what was more common was a kind of black stone that looked quite ordinary.

"Is this your first time in Jinhai, Young Master Su?"

The two walked side by side for a while before Nie Zhanqiu spoke softly.

"Miss Nie guessed correctly; this is my first time here."

Lin Qingyu nodded slightly, then frowned slightly and took a half step forward without making a sound, blocking a passerby from rushing into her.

Nie Zhanqiu was the name of that woman with an extraordinary temperament.

But Lin Qingyu, relying on her keen intuition, guessed that this was not the other person's real name, and she also had a feeling that this woman's identity was definitely not ordinary.

"May I ask which sect Young Master Su belongs to?"

bad!

Upon hearing this question, the girl following behind slapped her forehead. "Is this how people talk?"

"I am a rogue cultivator, without any sect or faction."

Su... Lin Qingyu looked calm.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Nie Zhanqiu's gaze fell on her face again, his eyes filled with admiration.

"Young Master Su is truly a prodigy to have reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm at such a young age, despite being a rogue cultivator."

"You flatter me."

Lin Qingyu smiled slightly, but inwardly she was thinking:

Is there anyone more seductive than you? This kind of flirting would probably even require queuing at the door.

"Miss Nie, what are those dark stones?"

Forget it, let her take the lead.

Lin Qingyu squatted down and curiously poked at the stone on the stall.

"This is a sample stone. It might yield Star Gold, but most of them are scams and it's not very rare."

"......" x4

One sentence silenced all four of them.

The extra person was the stall owner, who looked at Nie Zhanqiu with a hostile expression. If Lin Qingyu hadn't been so interested, he would have started cursing long ago.

"It looks like fun."

Lin Qingyu raised her head, her narrow, fox-like eyes staring intently at the woman beside her.

Nie Zhanqiu swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue. She was certain that no woman could utter the word "boring" under such a gaze.

Even herself.

So Nie Zhanqiu slowly squatted down beside the man, a faint fragrance lingering around her nose. Suddenly, as if possessed, she spoke:

"Then I'll help you choose."

Lin Qingyu was taken aback at first, then a dazzling smile appeared on her handsome face. She knew that no female cultivator could ignore this model.

"OK!"

Tsk tsk~ I never expected my own... to be so good at flirting, she's a natural at it!

The girl standing behind the two was rubbing her chin, watching with great interest, when a voice filled with anticipation suddenly came from beside her:

"Miss Yingying, why don't we go take a look over there?"

Situ Zhao raised what he thought was a handsome smile, but he was defeated by the girl's cold gaze.

What's so great about it!

Just as he was about to reach out and pull Lin Qingyu away, a golden jade pendant suddenly appeared in front of him and vanished in an instant.

Situ Zhao's pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately withdrew his hand.

His forehead instantly became covered in cold sweat, and he stood frozen in place, not daring to move an inch.

What is that?

Lin Qingyu looked at the woman beside her who was selecting sample stones for her with a gentle expression, but she was very curious about the jade pendant.

The fact that these two women could frighten Situ Zhao so much suggests that their identities are probably even more terrifying than he imagined!

I hope it won't crash...

...

...

...

(Exhausted, heartbroken, writing this is heartbreaking~)

Haha, that's all nonsense.

I haven't written a book in a long time, and I wrote 800,000 words in one go. To be honest, it was quite tiring.

But I don't want to stop updating, since I owe a lot of chapters, and I feel bad about taking a break. I'll adjust the pace by updating three times a day for the next two days.

Also, although I owe a lot of money (57 chapters...), I want to reiterate that I will definitely pay it all back. Don't underestimate the bond between me and Sister Lin!
