"Saintess, that brat in the white robes is truly outrageous! I really wanted to give him a good thrashing back there!"

Once they had walked a fair distance, an old man angrily shook his fist as he spoke.

"Didn't you sense his Super Divine Dragon Breath just now?" the girl in black asked in a low voice.

"No," the few old men around her all shook their heads.

I see... The girl in black seemed thoughtful. So that handsome young man's Super Divine Dragon Breath was specifically meant for me to sense.

"This man is at the Half-Step Life and Death Realm. Just now, he revealed a wisp of his Super Divine Dragon Breath to me, likely to intimidate me. It's best we avoid provoking him..." the girl in black said with a grave expression, her tone contemplative.

"So he's an expert at the Half-Step Life and Death Realm. No wonder he's so arrogant," an old man grunted.

"What if he is at the Half-Step Life and Death Realm? It's not like our Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird doesn't have any," another old man, his expression dark, said with a cold glint in his eyes.

Today, the Saintess of their Sacred Sect had been insulted, and these old men were all extremely indignant. The Saintess's status within the entire sect was second only to the Sect Master.

The girl in black said in a subdued voice, "Everyone, don't be impulsive. Some troubles are best avoided. Try not to involve the Life and Death Realm Powerhouses of our sect."

"Yes," the old men nodded silently.

After a few moments, one of the old men's brow twitched, and he asked, "Saintess, could the expert who set up the flight restriction be related to this youth in white?"

"They shouldn't be related. Someone at the Half-Step Life and Death Realm couldn't possibly possess such power—to establish a flight restriction without us detecting it. This person's cultivation base must be at least at the Eternal Realm," the girl in black said with a frown.

Hearing the Saintess's explanation, the expressions of everyone present grew even more complicated. They wondered about the purpose of an Eternal Realm expert's descent upon the black market of Wu Kun Mountain. This was a figure they absolutely could not afford to offend. Even a power as strong as the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird would not dare to offend a great cultivator of the Eternal Realm. After all, the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird was merely a superior great sect.

"There's no need to worry too much," the girl in black said with a soft smile, shaking her head, seemingly unconcerned. "An Eternal Realm senior suddenly descending upon Wu Kun Mountain shouldn't cause any major impact here. After all, given his status, he would absolutely not stoop to the level of cultivators from our great sects."

The other old men, secretly sighing in relief, turned and walked towards a tall building ahead, vanishing in moments.

「Elsewhere, on the street」

Many onlookers stared with peculiar expressions at the celestial-like youth in white. This youth in white had actually, and quite heartlessly, rejected the invitation of the Saintess from the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird. It was truly unbelievable.

"I just don't get it! The Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird is so beautiful, yet that youth in white remained unmoved. Is his heart made of stone?" a young male cultivator whispered.

"It's because he's so handsome that any woman would be smitten at the sight of him, and the Saintess of the Sacred Sect of the Mysterious Bird is no exception. A man that good-looking likely has high immunity to women, so it's not really surprising that he didn't take the Saintess seriously," a middle-aged, attractive woman nearby said this, her gaze on the white-robed youth also carrying a certain fervor. If she were a decade younger, she might have had the courage to try and strike up a conversation. After all, the youth in white was truly exceptionally handsome, with an outstanding temperament; any woman who saw him would feel an uncontrollable urge to get closer to him.

Big Black Cat listened to the surrounding discussions, his head lowered, chuckling softly.

"Cat baby, see that? That's Master for you. He's the center of attention wherever he goes," Big Black Cat said, stroking Cat baby's forehead with a triumphant laugh.

"Yes, Master is indeed very popular with girls," Cat baby said, watching Ye Yun's departing figure, her eyes also showing a look of infatuation.

Ye Yun listened to the discussions around him and smiled faintly. Ye Yun, formerly the top Eternal Realm expert and number one hegemon of the Cangnan Continent, had heard such comments far too many times. Back then, he would still feel a bit smug about it. But now, having broken through to a realm Above God, he had long since become indifferent to the chatter of these mortals.

Ye Yun continued walking forward with his hands behind his back.

"Our shop sells Heavenly Moon Orders! Any cultivators in need can come to our shop to purchase them! Prices are fair, honest with young and old alike!" an old man shouted from the entrance of a shop up ahead.

When Ye Yun heard "Heavenly Moon Order," his interest was piqued, and he walked over.

"Sir, are you here to buy a Heavenly Moon Order?" the old man asked with a smile, noticing Ye Yun's extraordinary demeanor.

Ye Yun nodded and walked inside.

"Our shop does indeed have the Heavenly Moon Order, but the price is a little steep," the old man said with a smile.

"Price isn't an issue, as long as you have the item," Ye Yun replied with a casual smile.

The old man led Ye Yun to a private room. After Ye Yun sat down, the old man said with a smile, "The Heavenly Moon Order is extremely rare. Therefore, our shop will be auctioning it. The highest bidder wins."

Ye Yun nodded. "That's fine. I have no problem with that."

The old man rubbed his hands and said with a chuckle, "Each bidder is required to pledge an item..."

Hearing this, Big Black Cat immediately became furious. "How audacious! Do you think my Master would try to cheat you?"

The old man bowed his head and chuckled. "Not at all, not at all. These are just the rules of our shop."

Ye Yun chuckled. "This should be acceptable, right?" With that, Ye Yun flicked his wrist and produced a Dragon Spirit Pill. "This is an Emperor Level Dragon Spirit Pill."

Upon seeing this Dragon Spirit Pill, the old man picked it up and examined it carefully. A look of shock appeared on his face, and he quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, this will do. This will do."

With that, he took the Dragon Spirit Pill and left the room.

Ye Yun smiled faintly and said nothing. He could understand such auction rules. Taking out a mere Dragon Spirit Pill was nothing to him.

The old man hurried to another room.

"Store Manager, take a look at this Dragon Spirit Pill. It should be genuine, right?" the old man asked, handing the Dragon Spirit Pill to a blue-robed elder seated before him. This blue-robed elder was the Store Manager of this auction house.

The Store Manager examined it, his face also showing shock. "Incredible! This is actually an Emperor Level Dragon Spirit Pill!"

"Indeed. This kind of Dragon Spirit Pill is extremely rare. We haven't seen one on our black market for many years," the old man said with a sigh.

"Does that guest have any more? Why don't we just buy them all?" the Store Manager said.

"I don't know. The guest didn't say. They only expressed interest in purchasing the Heavenly Moon Order."

"I see." The Store Manager stroked his chin, his expression turning grim. He thought for a few seconds before saying, "Arrange for someone to be solely responsible for bidding. We must drive the price of this Heavenly Moon Order sky-high."

The old man was slightly stunned, then instantly understood. The Store Manager is planning to play dirty! The Heavenly Moon Order their auction house is offering is fake. The so-called auction is just a ploy to swindle Spirit Stones. Although this Heavenly Moon Order is counterfeit, it's good enough to pass for genuine; they had an expert craft it specifically. It's said that after teleporting to the Heavenly Moon Secret Region using it, one would be sent back out in less than three days; it offers no permanent access at all.

"Store Manager, rest assured. I'll go make the arrangements immediately," the old man said, clasping his fists before turning to leave.

The Store Manager held the Dragon Spirit Pill, a greedy look on his face. Finally, unable to resist, he swallowed the Dragon Spirit Pill in one gulp. The moment the Dragon Spirit Pill entered his body, it transformed into a torrent of medicinal energy, surging through his meridians.

WHOOSH!

The Store Manager exhaled, an expression of extreme comfort and bliss appearing on his face. Inadvertently, a faint Demonic Aura began to emanate from his body.
