These were all low-level forces of will, not even slightly stronger ones like wind or lightning, and the upper limit these stone tablets could provide was also extremely low, only around one hundred.

Now, there were only a few days left until that once-in-a-century super auction. The auction wouldn't last a short time, but Lin Qing still decided to set off immediately.

Although not many people in the Sect knew Lin Qing at present, he had after all appeared at the teleportation square with Senior Sister Tao Tao before. To hide his whereabouts to the maximum extent, he began changing his appearance on the way to the teleportation square, transforming into an ordinary-looking Inner Sect Disciple with only a Tier 7 cultivation base. The process of leaving the Sect naturally did not attract anyone's attention.

This trip to Qianbao City was bound to cost quite a few Spirit Stones, and this time Lin Qing did not hide anything anymore. Every time he reached a city used for teleportation transit, he would sell off a large amount of those useless Materials on his body.

By the time he arrived at Qianbao City, the Spirit Stones on him had already reached 25 billion. If it was truly not enough, he still had some Level 11 Materials collected from the center of the Kunxu Forbidden Ground. These Materials were not easy to sell elsewhere, but it should be fine in Qianbao City.

The teleportation Formation in Qianbao City was different from anywhere else. In the past when Lin Qing took a teleportation Formation, whether leaving or arriving, it was always in a large square. However, Qianbao City had a huge building instead. It didn't simply move the square indoors; inside the building were many partitions, preventing outsiders from knowing where you came from or where you were going.

After stepping out of the teleportation building, Lin Qing had already transformed into the appearance of a weathered swordsman. At the same time, he also discovered that Qianbao City was covered by many large Formations, including the common flight-prohibition Formation, Divine Thought suppression Formation, and even spiritual power suppression Formation.

Over the span of fifty thousand years, the foundation of these current super powers was no weaker than the Kunxu Immortal Sect of back then, and perhaps even somewhat stronger. After all, the Kunxu Immortal Sect back then did not have experts in the Divine Sovereign Realm.

These Formations did not belong to that kind of completely sealing type of Formations; powers like Divine Thought and spiritual power could still be used, but the effects were much weaker. For example, Divine Thought could almost only be used for short-distance sound transmission or to probe treasures right before one's eyes.

The reason Qianbao City set up these Formations was to hope that everyone could get a relatively fair trading opportunity here, without having to worry about people with higher cultivation than themselves probing them, allowing them to calmly leave after getting good things without letting others track them.

Even Lin Qing could not help nodding with satisfaction. In this way, he could buy the things he wanted even more unscrupulously.

At this time, Qianbao City had almost reached the point of being overcrowded. Tier 8 Cultivators who occupied the absolute core in ordinary powers were everywhere, and God Realm Cultivators, who were rarely seen in past days, could also be seen everywhere.

When Senior Sister Tao Tao invited Lin Qing to come together previously, Lin Qing refused, so he hadn't asked Senior Sister Tao Tao too much about the situation here.

Fortunately, the people on the streets nowadays were all discussing matters regarding the auction. Lin Qing wandered the streets of Qianbao City and also collected a lot of useful information.

This auction was simply too popular. Even though the Qianbao Mysterious Palace had specially built a new large auction venue, it still couldn't allow everyone to obtain participation qualifications. Therefore, Lin Qing's primary task was to obtain an admission ticket.

"Sorry, Senior, there are no more admission tickets."

The newly built auction house was a circular building with a diameter reaching fifty miles. When Lin Qing came to one of the auction house's entrances, what he received was a mechanical response from the service personnel.

This situation was within Lin Qing's expectations; after all, he had arrived much too late. Of course, even if he had come earlier, admission tickets wouldn't have been so easily obtained.

He took out a Storage Ring, handed it to the other party cryptically, and transmitted his voice:

"Fellow Daoist, please tell me what other methods there are currently to obtain an admission ticket."

The other party took the Storage Ring and looked, seeing there were actually one million Spirit Stones. A smile instantly appeared on their originally stiff face.

One million Spirit Stones could buy two Luoxia Valleys, but this Qianbao Mysterious Palace Disciple before him was already a Tier 8 Cultivator. If too little was given, the other party might not care for it, and Lin Qing didn't want to spend too much time on such matters, so his action was very lavish.

"Senior, currently there are still mainly two methods to obtain an admission ticket."

The Qianbao Mysterious Palace Disciple also replied via voice transmission:

"The first is that our Qianbao Mysterious Palace also collects treasures from the outside. If Senior has treasures of sufficient value to enter this auction, we will arrange VIP seating of the corresponding Rank for Senior according to the value of the treasures provided by Senior."

"There is also trading with someone who owns an admission ticket. I happen to know a Senior Brother who has extra admission tickets on hand."

Afterwards, this Cultivator gave Lin Qing an address, asking Lin Qing to go find his Senior Brother.

Lin Qing understood, how was this him happening to know some Senior Brother? This was clearly a link in their business; at that time, he would definitely be heavily ripped off. However, Lin Qing still silently memorized this address.

"Where are treasures authenticated? I do have some things in my hands, I wonder if your noble Sect can appreciate them."

Lin Qing of course knew the value of those things of his. If Qianbao Mysterious Palace couldn't appreciate them, it wasn't that the things in Lin Qing's hands were trash, but that Qianbao Mysterious Palace was trash. Of course, there was no need to let this kind of ordinary Disciple know about such things.

"About five miles in this direction, there is another entrance. After going inside, turn left and walk to the end, someone will receive you."

Having just received Lin Qing's one million Spirit Stones, this Disciple's attitude remained respectful, but that trace of disdain in his eyes couldn't be concealed. The auction that their Qianbao Mysterious Palace had prepared for over a hundred years—how could the treasures participating in the auction compare to the things taken out by an ordinary Cultivator like Lin Qing?

Lin Qing casually cupped his fists, then lifted his feet and walked in the direction mentioned by this Disciple. After a moment, he saw a wooden door that was very ordinary in both size and form. This door was even in a closed state.

Clearly, the higher-ups of Qianbao Mysterious Palace had the same thought as the previous Disciple. Although they designed such a place to receive treasures from other Cultivators according to convention, they didn't think anyone could truly take out treasures that could catch their eye.

Lin Qing walked up to the wooden door, and just as he intended to knock, the wooden door suddenly opened from the inside, and a man and a woman walked out. The man looked a bit aged in appearance; if he was a God Realm Cultivator, such an appearance meant he was running out of Lifespan.

And that woman was unexpectedly — Grand Aunt-Master Qing Yao!
