15: Chapter 15 You Want to Become a Man?

On the other side,

Yu Yaoqin and Su Lianxue were also walking along the street.

The appearance of the two naturally attracted a lot of attention.

“Senior Sister Yu, I want to know what kind of person Senior Brother is?”

Su Lianxue ignored those gazes, turned her head, and asked Yu Yaoqin.

After spending time together these past few days, she felt that Lin Ming gave her a very strange feeling, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what was strange.

“Senior Brother...”

Yu Yaoqin was stunned for a moment, then fell into deep thought.

“Senior Brother is a very lazy person.”

After thinking for a moment, Yu Yaoqin spoke very seriously.

“It feels like Senior Brother can't muster interest in anything, including cultivation.”

Yu Yaoqin said.

In any case, she had rarely seen Lin Ming Cultivate.

Yet, despite this, she still couldn't beat Lin Ming, which made Yu Yaoqin feel somewhat frustrated.

“Wait, there is one thing Senior Brother is quite serious about.”

Yu Yaoqin seemed to have thought of something and spoke immediately.

“What is it?”

Su Lianxue asked after hearing this.

“Eating.”

Yu Yaoqin said.

This made Yu Yaoqin inevitably think of the braised pork Senior Brother made.

Su Lianxue fell into a brief silence after hearing Yu Yaoqin's words.

Perhaps she shouldn't have asked Yu Yaoqin.

She should explore this question herself.

She always felt that there was something wrong with this Senior Brother of hers, but she didn't know where the problem lay.

As for why she felt Lin Ming was problematic, it stemmed from her intuition.

Sooner or later, she would uncover the answer to this question herself.

“Lianxue, come on, maybe we can find something good on this street.”

Yu Yaoqin grabbed Su Lianxue's small hand and walked forward.

...

Nightfall

Cuixiang Residence

In a private room on the fifth floor

“Senior Brother, did you really not go to the Wanhua Pavilion? The female cultivators there all practice the method of Dual Cultivation. Cultivating with them might even increase your cultivation level.”

Yu Yaoqin looked at Lin Ming and spoke with a mischievous grin.

“You go then.”

Lin Ming looked at Yu Yaoqin expressionlessly and said.

“I'd like to, but unfortunately I'm not a man.”

Yu Yaoqin said with a look of regret.

“Then after we return, I will request the Peak Master of Hidden Sword Peak to find the Heavenly Demon Transformation Scripture for you.”

The corners of Lin Ming's mouth curled up slightly as he spoke.

The Heavenly Demon Transformation Scripture was one of the Cultivation Techniques of the Demonic Path Sect, the Hall of Mara. Once this technique was successfully cultivated, it could turn a man into a woman and a woman into a man.

However, after the destruction of the Hall of Mara, the whereabouts of this technique became unknown.

“Don't, Senior Brother, I was wrong.”

Yu Yaoqin instantly backed down.

She was only joking and didn't want her mother to know. If her mother found out, she would likely be in for a world of trouble.

“Stop thinking about these nonsensical things all day long.”

Lin Ming said.

Wanhua Pavilion

He really had been to that place, but he only went there to watch dances and listen to some tunes; nothing else.

If he had the chance, he would definitely go for another stroll, but not now.

“Junior Sister, did you buy anything?”

Lin Ming looked at Su Lianxue and asked.

“I bought some small trinkets.”

Su Lianxue smiled and said.

She did have some unexpected gains, which could only be attributed to good luck.

At that moment, the door opened.

One delicious dish after another was brought to the table by the waitresses.

Yu Yaoqin's attention was instantly drawn to these delicacies.

“Senior Brother, then I won't be polite.”

Yu Yaoqin spoke up.

“Go ahead and eat.”

...

The day of the auction

Soon arrived.

This auction was organized by the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce.

For this auction, the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce had been promoting it for some time.

When Lin Ming and the others arrived at the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce, they saw many people entering one after another.

Relying on their background from Yuanxu Mountain, plus a VIP token Yu Yaoqin had obtained from somewhere, Lin Ming and the others entered a private box on the second floor.

“The Yunhai Chamber of Commerce has been promoting this auction for a month, and there are many good things inside.”

Yu Yaoqin said.

And her goal this time was only one item.

After about an hour

Sun Cheng finally stepped onto the stage.

His gaze swept across the entire room.

“Thank you all for giving the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce Face by attending our auction.”

“This auction will be presided over by this old man.”

“I also hope that all guests can abide by the rules of the auction.”

Sun Cheng said to everyone present.

“The first item.”

Sun Cheng didn't waste much time and directly started the auction.

“Fourth-grade spiritual plant, Moonflower Fruit, a fruit condensed from the power of moonlight.”

“Starting price: one hundred medium-grade origin stones.”

“One hundred and ten.”

“One hundred and twenty, I definitely want this Moonflower Fruit.”

“One hundred and thirty, sorry, I happen to need the Moonflower Fruit.”

The price of the Moonflower Fruit soared all the way until it finally settled at two hundred and fifty medium-grade origin stones.

The following items included Medicinal Pills, Cultivation Techniques, weapons, and other things needed by cultivators.

However, Lin Ming and the others remained indifferent until the eleventh item appeared.

“The eleventh item, jiuming forged yin iron, taken from Yinming Mountain.”

An irregular piece of silver-colored iron emitting a cold aura appeared in everyone's sight.

And this jiuming forged yin iron was precisely Yu Yaoqin's target for this trip.

“Starting price: one thousand five hundred medium-grade origin stones.”

“One thousand six hundred.”

“One thousand seven hundred.”

“I bid two thousand.”

The price soared rapidly, instantly breaking through three thousand medium-grade origin stones.

After breaking through three thousand medium-grade origin stones, the bidding speed gradually slowed down.

During this time, Yu Yaoqin also bid a few times, but she was always outbid.

This caused Yu Yaoqin's expression to gradually become uneasy.

She realized that the origin stones she brought were somewhat insufficient; she hadn't expected so many people to compete for the jiuming forged yin iron.

“Senior Brother, do you still have any medium-grade origin stones?”

Yu Yaoqin finally spoke to Lin Ming.

“What? Can the daughter of the Peak Master of Hidden Sword Peak be short of origin stones?”

Lin Ming teased.

“Senior Brother, it's not like you don't know my situation.”

Yu Yaoqin said helplessly.

As the daughter of the Peak Master of Hidden Sword Peak, she only had this title compared to other Disciples.

Aside from that, there was no special treatment. Her cultivation resources were all earned by herself; her mother wouldn't provide her with any help.

Everything was achieved through her own self-reliance.

“How much did you bring?”

Lin Ming asked.

“Three thousand medium-grade origin stones.”

These three thousand medium-grade origin stones were saved up through her own frugality. She thought it would be enough, but she had miscalculated.

“Go ahead and buy it, Senior Brother will cover for you.”
