318: Go to the auction

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled, "Everything as Senior Sister commands!"

Immediately, the three flew back to Lingyun Sect.

In the following time, Lu Xingchen lived a peaceful life in Lingyun Sect.

It was still the same routine: teaching Mu Ruxue Archery Skill in the morning, Cultivating in the Soul Nurturing Tower in the afternoon, and idling in the Eighth-Grade Spirit Gathering Array in the evening.

Half a month passed like this.

Lu Xingchen's Soul Power increased again; although he still hadn't achieved a Breakthrough to Spirit Realm Great Perfection, he wasn't far from it.

He had also accumulated a lot of experience.

This morning, Lu Xingchen was waiting for Mu Ruxue in his Immortal Cave as usual.

Seven o'clock quickly arrived, and Mu Ruxue rushed into Lu Xingchen's Immortal Cave with small, quick steps.

Her voice arrived before she did.

"Teacher, I have good news to tell you!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen's eyebrows twitched slightly, feeling a little anticipation.

Ten seconds later, Mu Ruxue skipped into the Cultivation room.

Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "Xiao Xue, what good news do you have?"

Mu Ruxue raised her head slightly, a hint of pride in her tone.

"Teacher, my Soul Realm has broken through to Spirit Realm Middle Stage!"

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was greatly surprised.

It had only been two or three months since her Breakthrough to Initial Spirit Realm, and she had already broken through to the Middle Stage so quickly?

Her Cultivation speed was even faster than his own, who was practically cheating!

If other new Disciples knew about this, their jaws would probably drop.

Lu Xingchen clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Xiao Xue, well done! You actually broke through so quickly! Becoming a Saint in the future is not impossible."

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue's face fell, and she said with a wry smile, "Teacher, stop teasing me. I've only just broken through to Spirit Realm Middle Stage; I'm still far from you, let alone challenging the legendary Saint Realm."

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I was just joking. Because 'Potential of a Saint' is the highest praise for a Martial Artist on Tianyuan Continent, and I couldn't find suitable words to praise you, so I could only say that."

"I have to say, your progress is too fast. It's very likely you'll surpass me in the future. If you get rich, don't forget me!"

Mu Ruxue smiled and said, "No matter what Realm I reach in the future, I will never forget Teacher's guidance and care for me!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly, handed a scroll to Mu Ruxue, and said with a smile, "Take it! Consider it my reward for your Breakthrough to Spirit Realm Middle Stage."

Mu Ruxue took the scroll, opened it, and exclaimed in surprise, "Divine Grinding Art! High-Grade Earth Level! Teacher, you're too rich! You can just give away a High-Grade Earth Rank Martial Skill!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "I'm not being casual at all. This Divine Grinding Art is very precious; it's a Martial Skill I once used. I only give it to you because I hold you dear to my heart."

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue's expression changed, and she said solemnly, "I understand. Thank you, Teacher, for your generosity! I will definitely Cultivate diligently and not disappoint you!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It's good that you have that intention. Cultivate quickly. Once you break through to Late Spirit Realm, you can seek revenge on the Li family. Don't worry, I've been keeping an eye on the Li family for you; they won't escape!"

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue was slightly stunned.

She hadn't expected that Lu Dazhuang cared so much about her affairs, even keeping real-time tabs on the Li family's situation.

Her eyes immediately reddened, and she bowed to Lu Xingchen, saying softly, "Thank you, Teacher!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "Alright, let's start class."

After Mu Ruxue left, Lu Xingchen was eating in his room when a knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Lu Xingchen put down his chopsticks, opened the door, and saw the handsome and dashing Li Changbai.

"Second Senior Brother, is there something you need me for?"

Li Changbai chuckled, "Indeed, there's an important matter."

"Tonight, there's an auction in Wangshu City, hosted by the Royal Family. There will surely be many treasures at this auction. The other four Eighth-Rank Sects in Western Zhongzhou will participate, and our Lingyun Sect cannot fall behind."

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.

"Since it's hosted by the Royal Family of Wangshu Kingdom with the full power of the nation, it's certainly worth attending. If we can find any treasures there, it could greatly enhance the strength of our Lingyun Sect."

"Then I must participate! I also want to see if I can get some good stuff!"

Li Changbai chuckled, "That's what I mean too. Tonight at seven o'clock, let's gather at the Mountain Gate. The four of us will go to this auction together."

"Alright!"

After finishing the main topic, Li Changbai turned and left.

Lu Xingchen, however, was thoughtful.

The Wangshu Kingdom is deeply established even among Advanced nations, with more than one Martial Venerable Expert guarding it, enough to contend with Lingyun Sect.

An auction hosted by such a powerful nation would surely have many good items.

It's likely that Liu Ruyan had already received internal information and had her eye on one or several auction items, which is why she would personally take action.

Lu Xingchen didn't want to meddle too much in Lingyun Sect's affairs, but he could also try to see if he could find any treasures at this auction.

Time quickly flowed, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Lu Xingchen's face.

He then packed his things and flew towards the Mountain Gate.

A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xingchen saw his three Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters waiting there.

"Greetings to the three Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters!"

Liu Ruyan waved her hand and chuckled, "Junior Brother, no need for formalities. Since everyone is here, let's depart!"

Immediately, the four flew together towards Wangshu City.

This auction was entirely managed by the Royal Family of Wangshu Kingdom, who brought out many good items, firstly to accumulate wealth, and secondly to enhance the influence of Wangshu Kingdom and forge strategic partnerships.

The auction house was located in the central part of Wangshu City, next to the Imperial Palace, extremely luxurious and grand.

Half an hour later, the four landed outside the auction house.

Just the two middle-aged men guarding the entrance had reached the Martial Ancestor Realm.

From this alone, one could see the importance the Royal Family of Wangshu Kingdom placed on this auction.

Lingyun Sect had been established in Wangshu City for ten years, and the two guards recognized Sect Master Liu.

They immediately bowed to Liu Ruyan and respectfully said, "Greetings, Sect Master Liu!"

Liu Ruyan waved her hand and said with a smile, "No need for formalities, lead us in!"

A guard in the Martial Ancestor Realm called out behind the door, and a curvaceous, lightly dressed young woman came to greet them.

Looking at this young woman, Lu Xingchen was slightly surprised.

Her Realm had actually reached Martial Emperor.

In this Central Continent, where Martial Venerable Experts were common, a Martial Emperor was nothing.

But this young woman was too young; she probably hadn't even reached adulthood.

This made her quite precious.

If this woman were in Lingyun Sect, she could also become a Core Disciple.

Yet the Royal Family of Wangshu Kingdom only used her as a maid; this was truly extravagant!
