Chapter 701: 0702 I Must Become Stronger! (Fourth Update)

Although Jin Shanshun was willing to challenge the three ancient clans with him, Ye Qiu didn’t plan to let Jin Shanshun step forward and provoke the three ancient clans just yet.

After all, with their current strength, they were simply unable to contend with the three ancient clans.

Jin Shanshun was an individual following him, not the entire Jin clan behind him. Jin Shanshun had his concerns, he could risk it all by himself and gamble with Ye Qiu, but he could not represent the entire Jin clan and stake the fate of all its members.

Now that Jin Shanshun was helping him by collecting medicinal herbs, saving Ye Qiu a lot of necessary trouble, Ye Qiu planned in his heart to make sure his brother wouldn’t be at a loss after he crafted the elixir.

Ye Qiu harbored a wild ambition in his heart. If possible, he would even help the Jin clan create more strong warriors, but this was something Jin Shanshun said they would discuss after Ye Qiu crafted an elixir that could assist others in breaking through their realms.

Yun Shang Palace held another elixir auction ten days later.

It was the same thirty Detoxification Pills.

The Mu clan didn’t bid this time, but the Shi clan spent one thousand fourth-grade Crystal Stones and ultimately won the bid.

Many ancient clans wanted to compete with the Shi clan, but had no choice but to give up due to a sentence from a Shi clan elder, eventually shaking their heads and departing.

The second elixir auction went very smoothly, basically netting one thousand fourth-grade Crystal Stones for free.

"Boss, these past days, that Elder Jin still hasn’t shown up. There won’t be some mishap I hope, there are only forty pills left. After one more auction, there won’t be any left," said the man in black standing next to Yun Shang Palace’s owner.

"Don’t worry, now out of the three ancient clans, two have acquired the elixir. The only one who hasn’t bid is the Ji clan. Next, the remaining forty Detoxification Pills will be auctioned in one go, with four separate bids," the owner of Yun Shang Palace murmured.

"Since Elder Jin had his first experience selling pills, there will naturally be a second time. He can’t disappear for too long; we will eventually wait for him to come to us," Yun Shang’s owner mused softly.

When it was known that the last forty Detoxification Pills were to continue being auctioned, some mid-tier ancient clans were excited, as they could now participate in the competition.

With only forty Detoxification Pills available, all ancient clans with an interest in the pills showed up, including the Tang clan.

That evening.

Mid-tier ancient clans such as Tang, Wu, Zhan, Mo, Xiang, and other clans all arrived at the scene, Jin Wanshan pulled his son Jin Shanshun to the auction, determined to bid for ten pills this time no matter what.

Accompanying the Jin clan was the Clan Leader of the Bu clan, as the children of the clan leaders of both clans were to become one family; the two ancient clans sat together.

Jin Shanshun sat next to Bu Ling, seeing both of their faces flushed and not talking, appearing very restrained. Jin Zhimo leaned over and took the initiative to help ease the atmosphere for her brother, "Brother, the auction hasn’t started yet. Why don’t you take Sister Bu Ling for a walk around?"

"This... wouldn’t be appropriate..." Jin Shanshun, a grown man, suddenly became shy. Seeing her brother’s timidity, Jin Zhimo hastily pulled him and Bu Ling up and pushed the two to chat alone on the second floor.

As the two walked along the corridor on the second floor, Jin Shanshun saw that Bu Ling’s cheeks were tinted with red, and he also felt somewhat embarrassed; however, his sister Jin Zhimo had created the opportunity for him to be alone with Bu Ling, and Jin Shanshun knew such chances were rare, so he started actively looking for topics of conversation.

Bu Ling sometimes responded with a couple of sentences and at times giggled. The atmosphere between them was indeed quite pleasant, with a feeling of green, unripe first love.

However, this nice atmosphere didn’t last long. It was interrupted by a voice.

"Yo, isn’t this Jin Shanshun of the Jin clan? Instead of studying your inventions back in the clan, what are you doing here on a date?"

This untimely voice was filled with cold ridicule and obvious malice.

Jin Shanshun looked at the speaker, frowning slightly. The other party was a descendant of the Ba clan, who didn’t spare demeaning remarks whenever he saw Jin Shanshun. It was really bad luck to encounter him here.

"Miss Bu Ling, if I may say so, out of everyone you could fancy, why fancy this waste? Aside from being the eldest son of the Jin clan’s Clan Leader, what does he have... I alone could beat three of him!" The one who spoke up was Ba Sen, quite a figure within the Ba clan.

"Yes, Miss Bu Ling. There’s someone who’s been thinking about you all this time," another descendant of the Ba clan said, shifting his gaze toward a young man standing between them.

"Miss Bu Ling, do you remember me? Not long ago, we hunted together," Ji Shan said politely, not even sparing a glance at Jin Shanshun standing next to Bu Ling, for in his eyes, neither Jin Shanshun’s appearance nor his background could match up to his own. How could such a rival compete with him?

Since parting with Bu Ling in the last hunt, the memory of her had often flashed through his mind: her slender figure, her fair face, her tempting red lips. To him, these images lingered constantly in his mind, and he had even secretly sworn that he would not let anyone who dares to compete with him for Bu Ling get away with it.

However, there were some embarrassing memories from the last hunt that he wanted to avenge. To be beaten up in front of the woman he coveted, one can imagine how furious and humiliated he felt.

"Young Master Ji Shan," Bu Ling nodded slightly as a polite gesture.

And this scene, witnessed by Jin Shanshun, suddenly astonished him. As a man, he could see the desire to possess Bu Ling hidden deep in Ji Shan’s eyes.

The most important thing was, this guy was also a member of the Ji Clan.

At this moment, Ba Sen spoke up, "Jin Shanshun, you see, Young Master Ji Shan has taken a liking to Miss Bu Ling. If you know what’s best, you won’t bother Miss Bu Ling anymore. You even dare to compete with Young Master Ji for a woman; you really must be tired of living. Even if your father Jin Wanshan saw Young Master Ji, he would have to respectfully call him ’Young Master’."

Jin Shanshun didn’t speak; he clenched his fists. His strength was only at the level of True Qi; he was no match for Ji Shan, let alone Ba Sen and Ba Lin. In terms of combat, it was his weakness.

"Bu Ling, let’s go." Jin Shanshun grabbed Bu Ling’s wrist and turned to leave.

Just then, Jin Shanshun felt a pain in his wrist and turned his head to see Ba Sen looking at him coldly. Ba Sen had pinched his wrist between two fingers, forcing him to let go of Bu Ling’s hand.

"Ba Sen, this has nothing to do with you. I hope you won’t interfere," Jin Shanshun said.

Ba Sen laughed, "Jin Shanshun, I hope you don’t delude yourself. Your Jin Clan is merely a minor ancient clan, while Young Master Ji comes from the noble Ji Clan, high above. Do you really want to anger Young Master Ji and bring disaster upon your clan?"

Ba Sen’s words struck a chord in Jin Shanshun’s heart—it was also the reason why he didn’t want to provoke Ji Shan.

"You should step down. Young Master Ji will accompany Miss Bu Ling; no one will harm her," Ba Sen said, gazing at Jin Shanshun.

Jin Shanshun looked at Ji Shan, who had not paid him any attention from the start and was now staring at Bu Ling, while Bu Ling looked towards him. Rage filled Jin Shanshun’s heart, and he reached to grab Bu Ling’s hand again; suddenly, a gust of wind brushed past his face, and he felt a pain in his abdomen, causing him to instantly kneel down and clutch at his stomach.

The striking Ba Sen said indifferently, "I did this for your own good, to prevent you from bringing disaster upon your clan because of your actions. You should just leave."

Jin Shanshun clutched his stomach, his expression almost contorted together in unbearable pain, but he never let out a word of anguish, simply allowing the cold sweat to stream down.

At that moment, Jin Zhimo appeared and immediately helped her brother up, confronting the Ba Sen and Ba Lin brothers.

"Jin Zhimo, I advise you to take your brother home. Young Master Ji is not someone he can provoke," Ba Sen said.

Jin Zhimo then got a clear view of Ji Shan’s face, realizing that he had taken an interest in Bu Ling. No wonder he had been watching Bu Ling intermittently during the hunt.

"Brother and Miss Bu have been betrothed for a long time; no one can snatch her away," Jin Zhimo declared loudly.

"It’s only an engagement; they haven’t married yet. If Young Master Ji comes to propose, I believe the Clan Leader of the Bu Clan would not object," Ba Sen said with a smile.

"You..." Jin Zhimo, thinking of the other’s identity as a descendant of the Ji Clan, the first of the ancient clans, realized that the Bu Clan, being a lesser clan, probably wouldn’t refuse. In this regard, Jin Zhimo was himself unsure.

"Hmph, I don’t want to argue with you. Brother, Miss Bu, let’s go," Jin Zhimo insisted, pulling the two to leave.

They were stopped by Ba Sen, who swiftly blocked their way, saying, "The two of you siblings can leave, but Miss Bu Ling didn’t say she wanted to go. If you want to leave, you go."

"Miss Bu Ling, do you want to stay?" Jin Zhimo asked.

Bu Ling shook her head, and Ba Sen, who hadn’t expected Bu Ling to snub even Ji Shan’s face, was about to persuade her when Ji Shan suddenly said, "Miss Bu Ling, I’m sorry. Ba Sen, if someone wants to go downstairs, just let them go. Don’t scare Miss Bu Ling."

"Yes, of course!" Ba Sen hurriedly nodded in agreement.

Jin Zhimo snorted coldly, pulling Jin Shanshun and Bu Ling downstairs.

"Young Master Ji, why did you let them go?" Ba Sen asked, puzzled.

Ji Shan smiled, "You can’t force a woman into a relationship. Although many women won’t reject me, Ji Shan, when I reveal my identity, I do not like this approach. This fellow named Jin Shanshun is no threat yet; rest assured, this woman will eventually end up in my bed." Confidence covered Ji Shan’s face.

Ba Sen and the Ba brothers nodded in agreement at his side.

"Brother, are you alright?" Back at their seats, Jin Zhimo asked with concern.

Jin Shanshun shook his head and instructed her not to tell their father about what had just happened to prevent him from worrying.

Jin Zhimo didn’t refuse and nodded in agreement.

Jin Shanshun raised his eyes to look at a private room on the second floor, where Ji Shan and Ba Sen and Ba Lin were. As one of the strongest ancient clans, they naturally occupied the best positions to participate in the auction, while Ba Sen and Ba Lin were pandering to Ji Shan like sycophants, true to the role of bootlickers.

"Ji Shan... the Ji Clan... one day, I will trample you beneath my feet," Jin Shanshun vowed resolutely in his heart. The appearance of Ji Shan had shattered his previous thoughts; he needed to become stronger.

Just then, the auction began!
