Chapter 27: Chapter 27 Heading to the Auction House

Two hundred and thirty-five thousand low-grade spirit stones represented a vast fortune for Lin Chen.

Considering the Lin Family, one of the Five Great Families of Desolate Sky City, all their businesses combined only yielded a profit of over two hundred thousand a year.

Yet, he had earned this amount in just five days and nights by crafting talisman inscriptions.

The cost was merely close to a thousand low-grade spirit stones spent on spiritual paper, spiritual brushes, and spiritual ink.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen couldn’t help but sigh; no wonder the Formation Masters on the continent were so wealthy and avidly sought after and revered by martial artists.

"Chairman Yu, does Wanxing Commerce Association have any martial arts techniques that would suit me well?"

Lin Chen asked Yu Weilian, now that there was a substantial amount of money on his card, he had gained confidence and wanted to purchase some more profound martial arts skills to enhance his strength.

Mortal-grade martial arts skills like the Lihuo Fire Palm and the Sweeping Leg were no longer satisfying for Lin Chen.

Now that he could project his spiritual power outward, he could totally cultivate more powerful martial arts skills. It would be great if he could buy Spirit-level martial arts techniques.

As for martial arts skills above the Profound Level, Lin Chen didn’t even dare to think about them; they were definitely not something he could afford right now.

And even if he could, with his current strength, he wouldn’t be able to cultivate them.

"Little brother Lin Chen wants martial arts skills?"

"Our Wanxing Commerce Association is preparing for a large-scale auction that will take place in two days. Lin Chen can come and participate, and Sister Yu guarantees that you will surely find something you desire," Yu Weilian said with a smile that hinted at temptation, after seeing Lin Chen’s ability to refine Second Grade talismans.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s body shuddered, and he felt a tingling sensation at the bottom of his heart, completely unable to resist Yu Weilian’s voice.

A surge of lust suddenly rose from within him.

Over the past three years, although he had been affectionate with Mu Qingxue, he had never harbored any improper thoughts.

Having never experienced a woman before, Lin Chen naturally couldn’t withstand such flirtation from Yu Weilian, and his cheeks blushed slightly at that moment.

"An...an auction, I will certainly come to participate," Lin Chen managed to respond, now understanding why the Wanxing Commerce Association was so lively today—it was because they were preparing for the auction.

After speaking, Lin Chen quickly turned and left the area, inwardly cursing Yu Weilian for being such a fairy.

"Little brother Lin Chen, make sure to come," Yu Weilian called out again, finding Lin Chen’s bashful departure rather adorable.

The soothing tone quickened Lin Chen’s pace even more.

Zhao Lingxi, watching how Lin Chen was teased by Yu Weilian, found him somewhat amusing, yet she also felt a faint sourness.

Yu Weilian certainly noticed Zhao Lingxi’s reaction and her lips curled into a smile.

Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved heroes, and it seemed not so strange that a heavenly pride with an exceptional talent like Lin Chen could arouse feelings in their mistresses.

"Lingxi, you couldn’t have taken a liking to that boy, could you?"

"Should I play matchmaker for you next time?" Yu Weilian teased Zhao Lingxi with a smile on her lips.

Despite Zhao Lingxi’s noble status, Yu Weilian, who at thirty could hold the position of Manager President of Wanxing Commerce Association in Desolate Sky City and naturally had some background, often interacted with Zhao Lingxi as close as sisters.

Hearing Yu Weilian’s words, Zhao Lingxi’s cheeks instantly turned a bright red.

"Sister Yu, don’t talk nonsense, I definitely haven’t..."

...

At that moment, Lin Chen arrived at the base of the Wanxing Commerce Association, spending fifty thousand spirit stones to purchase another five hundred Spirit Gathering Pills of relatively good quality before heading back to the family home, still left with two hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones.

The Primordial Transformation Art was simply too abnormal; when it came to refining elixirs, it was both fast and effective, but compared to the ordinary martial artist, it required even more cultivation resources.

Returning to the clan, Lin Chen took out five hundred Spirit Gathering Pills and immediately began refining them.

His spiritual power circulated, and the Scorching Sun Fire skillfully rose within his body, tempering Lin Chen’s meridians and bones.

Another two days passed, and of the one thousand remaining meridians in Lin Chen’s body, he had broken through another three hundred.

According to the Primordial Transformation Art, Lin Chen now had seven hundred meridians left to break through.

After this breakthrough of his meridians, Lin Chen once again felt the changes within his body.

His dantian had expanded by another double in size.

At the Body Tempering Realm Eighth Layer, Lin Chen guessed that the spiritual power in his dantian was probably six or seven times that of a typical martial artist at the same realm.

By the time he fully breaks through all the meridians in his body, this multiple is likely to increase even further.

This is the strength of the Primordial Transformation Art, truly worthy of being a cultivation technique that can refine a Divine Physique.

And Lin Chen’s physique is now infinitely close to a Divine Physique.

Lin Chen believed that even now, he could battle a martial artist in the Spirit Gathering Realm.

If he were to combine this with a high-grade weapon and not a weak martial arts skill, his strength would greatly increase.

Pushing open the door, Lin Chen left the Lin Family and made his way to the Wanxing Commerce Association.

Today, the Wanxing Commerce Association was even more crowded than the past two days.

Looking up, he saw a sea of people, incredibly cramped.

Among the crowd, Lin Chen spotted some big figures from Desolate Sky City.

His first and second uncles.

The head of the Mu Family, Mu Yunhai.

...

"The people from the Five Great Families have all come, along with other elders and officials!"

Lin Chen was surprised inwardly, thinking that this auction event was indeed extraordinary, attracting almost all the big figures of Desolate Sky City to attend.

In the crowd, there were also two figures he had no desire to see.

Mu Qingxue, Li Chu...

Lin Chen’s expression turned cold, and he thought to himself that he would surely avenge his blood feud at the Jade Cauldron Sect’s recruitment trial, making the two pay a heavy price or even with their lives.

Lin Chen did not want to have any conflicts with those people at the moment, he didn’t even want to see them.

"Young Master Lin Chen, you’ve arrived. Please come this way. The president instructed us to bring you through our supreme passage as soon as you arrived, so that you need not squeeze with those people and can go straight to the main auction event."

Just as Lin Chen was about to take a different route to the Wanxing Commerce Association, a maid from the association approached him with a smile and offered to take him through the supreme passage.

Hearing this, Lin Chen immediately realized that the ’president’ the maid mentioned was probably Yu Weilian, and not Xun Xiangzhou.

Nodding his head, Lin Chen followed the maid.

They walked through a corridor paved with jade, which seemed like a secret path, not too spacious but also not too narrow, wide enough to accommodate five or six people walking side by side.

The Wanxing Commerce Association was very large, occupying nearly a third of the area at the center of Desolate Sky City.

Following the maid, Lin Chen soon arrived at a location.

It was a large hall, divided into three levels, a circular building with many elegant chambers and balconies on the second and third floors.

The third floor was the most lavishly decorated, and one of the chambers, resplendent in gold, was visibly luxurious from the outside.

And the place where the maid was taking Lin Chen was actually that most luxurious chamber.
