Chapter 99: See Through
update icon Updated at 2026/3/22 23:00:02

The name of Ling Yizi can be said to be a presence that reverberates throughout the continent, even the once powerful arrogant Tian was defeated by him during his peak. Yuanhui was not unaware of this. However… powerful as he may be, Ling Yizi is also regarded as a thorn in the eyes of many influential figures on the continent!

The people who dominate the continent are not to be trifled with, they absolutely will not allow anyone to shake their position!!!

The arrogant Tian of the past fell victim to his own son's poison hand because of this, and Ling Yizi would not fare any differently. They immediately launched an assassination attempt on Ling Yizi while he had not yet established a foothold on the continent.

However, Sharp Wind Pavilion is not the kind of faction that excels in conflicts, so there was no news from them all along.

The legendary Qing Shui Mountain had been searched by many, but ultimately it was found out that—it was nothing more than an illusion, there was no trace of the immortal Ling Yizi at all.

Therefore, the "Wind God Sword" was not worth buying, Yuanhui had little interest in it. His expertise lies in using giant swords, so even if he purchased it, it would not be of much use. Thus, he could only look on helplessly as the price soared straight to eighty million, constantly sighing.

And the first auction item ultimately settled at eighty million.

For this price, the middle-aged man seemed quite satisfied, congratulating with a smile before immediately moving on to the next auction item.

The second auction item was merely a beginner-level virtual realm martial art, nothing too extraordinary, with a price set around one million. It was evident that fewer people were interested this time, and the final bid only reached one and a half million.

After several rounds of auctions without finding anything suitable, Yuanhui lost his initial excitement. Leaning back in his chair, he closed his eyes to wait for what he needed to appear.

The atmosphere in the auction hall remained heavy. After five or six rounds of auctions, Yuanhui, who was starting to doze off, finally saw the item he needed.

The Array Spirit had the ability to greatly restore spiritual power beyond the Nine Hearts level, with an auction price of one million two hundred thousand.

The simple introduction caused Yuanhui to widen his closed eyes, his scorching gaze drawn to the box made of jade on the auction platform.

"Wow!" even Unseen couldn't help but exclaim, "At what level is this Array Spirit? To think it was placed in a serendipitous box?! These old folks really don't know the value of it, this is a divine item with a starting price that could reach ten million!"

Despite Unseen's bidding higher, Yuanhui's brows slightly furrowed, but he did not immediately follow suit, choosing to observe the situation.

The price of the Array Spirit continued to rise, but the speed began to slow down. In the end, only two people were still bidding, yet the price had not surpassed five million.

"Six million!"

The sudden voice in the auction hall stunned many people, their gazes following the sound to a black-clothed figure in the back. However, they quickly averted their eyes, not paying much attention.

Naturally, it was Yuanhui who called out the final price. With a sudden increase of about one million, the other two could only sit down disappointed.

Seeing Yuanhui's seemingly ordinary appearance, Unseen appeared to be a wealthy individual. It seemed futile to compete with him in this.

After the two gave up, the middle-aged man asked, "This gentleman has the highest bid, is there anyone else bidding?"

"..."

"Well then... Going once... Going twice... Sold!"

After three calls, the deal was sealed, and the "Array Spirit" went into Yuanhui's pocket.

"Phew..."

Seeing the successful purchase, Tianya Bagua also breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless, there was some gain.

Having successfully bid for a medicine that could nurture Chi, Yuanhui once again chose to observe quietly. Afterwards, he made a move, consecutively spending three and a half million to bid for four energy-level medicines, seeming to have amassed quite a bit.

This time, he spent over forty million, equivalent to the family's consumption for several years.

"If it weren't for my own savings, uh... or my master's, I wouldn't have made it past here with just the ten thousand gold coins my father gave me before leaving."

"Humph, indeed! You should know, the Great Western Province is not something you folks from the Central Plains can compare to!"

In just half an hour, throwing away tens of millions so generously, even Unseen felt a bit pained.

However, as long as he could advance to the Midstage of the Boundless Realm within two months, any price paid would be worth it!

"Now there are only six million gold coins left, looks like I need to be more frugal." Yuanhui calculated, shocked to see almost all his gold coins disappearing from his hands.

"Hehe, next up for auction is a virtual-level spell. Some cultivators should be quite interested in it. The starting price is one million!"

As Yuanhui was leaving, a voice from the auction stage made his body slightly stiffen.

Under the black attire, Yuanhui lightly licked his lips, indeed living up to the reputation of the highly acclaimed auction event on the continent. He never expected to find such divine items up for bid, especially ones his father had never owned!

Heavenly, what Yuanhui lacked the most now was an attack spell of this grade!

"One million one hundred thousand!"

"One million two hundred thousand!"

"... Three million... Four million!"

Watching the scene escalate rapidly in a matter of moments, Yuanhui narrowed his eyes. It seemed that many people here were indeed interested in this virtual-level spell.

As the crowd in the auction hall bid for the spell, in the VIP room on the left side of the second floor of the auction hall, several pairs of eyes were also watching the scene before them.

"I never expected such a profound spell to be auctioned off here today." Han, dressed in common clothes, looked somewhat surprised as he glanced at the scene and spoke.

"Hehe, if Father is interested, I will bid for it; after all, you don’t care much about money." The woman in red on the adjacent seat smiled.

"Uh... forget it, although the virtual realm spell is top-notch, it may not necessarily be useful for me." Han smiled and shook his head.

"True, Master's current strength may not find it very attractive." The blue-robed woman smiled.

"Haha, my disciple speaks so well, unlike my sharp-tongued daughter. Hmm?!" Han laughed and was about to praise his disciple for speaking better than his daughter.

Suddenly, he let out a soft exclamation, his gaze turning towards a figure in the crowd, "This person seems quite lavish, actually spending two and a half million to buy this spell. I see that the herbs he bought previously are used for nurturing the soul, it seems his strength is not inferior to mine!"

At those words, the women beside Han, including the slightly younger blue-robed female disciple, all turned their gaze to where he was looking, and that place—was where Unseen and Yuanhui were.

"Is it possible that Master recognizes this person?" The indifferent woman in white with a hint of green asked, surprised by Han's uncharacteristic reaction. This was the first time she had witnessed the old man being so rattled.

"Hmm… Yes, I do."

"Why not say hello... Could it be an enemy come to seek revenge?!"

"Hehe, no, uh... It's more like an old friend."

While slowly coming to his senses at this moment, Han fixed his gaze on the figure in the auction hall, whispering, "He should be a true expert in the Boundless Realm now."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, the eyebrows of the woman in white raised slightly, then she lost interest.

A friend of Master, that's all there is to it. Even in any place where experts gather on the continent, there are plenty of them!

In any case, there was really nothing to care about.
