Chapter 896 A bitch is just being pretentious!
what happened?
Didn't Laozi enter that spatial vortex with Qingling?
How did they end up here? And where is Qingling?
Gradually recovering from his daze, Lin Que ignored his current situation, as well as the man in front of him who was still enthusiastically introducing himself, and the crowd that kept making noises and sounds of disgust.
Instead, he fell into deep thought...
But the most important thing is, who the hell ripped his shirt off?!
Thinking of this, Lin Que immediately looked up at his fingers and breathed a sigh of relief!
Fortunately, the storage ring was still there and hadn't been stolen.
It's safe to say that a large portion of our important belongings are inside, so we absolutely cannot lose them!
However... it seems that even if it's lost, Feng Jiuyou, that silly bird, is in it too, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"Hurry up! We don't need this skinny guy with no cultivation. Introduce me to the ones next to him!"
"If it weren't for the fact that your chamber of commerce just opened and I thought I could snag some good stuff, I would have left long ago!"
"that is!"
"How long-winded!"
"..."
Just as Lin Que was still deep in thought, someone in the stands became impatient and immediately shouted, interrupting the man who was hosting the auction on the stage.
Not only that, but many people stood up at this moment, looking like they were preparing to leave.
Upon seeing this, the man who was still introducing himself in front of Lin Que panicked and hurriedly said, "Oh, alright, fellow Daoists, fairy maiden."
"Please forgive me, please forgive me!"
"Since none of you like this lean pork rib, then I won't say any more."
After saying that, he quickly went to a man who was also tied to a pillar next to Lin Que and introduced him.
"I think...I'm sure you can all tell just by looking at them."
"This...this is a man...a man with terrifying strength!"
"He...he is an exhibit that our chamber of commerce finally managed to get...after a lot of effort."
The man, who was also tied to the pillar, had terrifying muscles and was covered with scars and ravines. He exuded a strong aura of oppression.
Although he was looking down, making it impossible to see his condition, and his disheveled hair also obscured his face, it still couldn't hide his powerful aura and the terrifying killing intent that came from years of fighting!
The host, who was introducing Lin Que's qualifications, trembled in his voice, and his expression changed from the animated one he had when introducing Lin Que to a cautious one, as if he was afraid of angering the man and bringing disaster upon himself.
However, he seemed to have forgotten that the man had already been tied to the pillar, so how could he still threaten him?
Unfortunately, the man's powerful aura had no effect on Lin Que whatsoever.
Although the man's aura was indeed very powerful and terrifying, his cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
However, this was also something that puzzled Lin Que, because even though this man's strength was only at the Golden Core Realm, it was enough to kill the merchant guild host who was introducing him!
Moreover, if he wanted to leave, no one here except Lin Que could stop him.
Looking up, one could see that in this vast exhibition hall of the Chamber of Commerce, including the cultivators participating in the auction, not a single person possessed the strength to reach the Golden Core realm.
Most of them were at the peak of the Innate Realm, with only a small number at the Life Sea Realm.
Even those at the peak of the Life Sea Realm are pitifully few, numbering only two or three.
Lin Que, seeing this, was puzzled. What exactly was going on?
However, Lin Que soon discovered that the man in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm was different from him.
A strange rune was branded on the man's chest, emanating a peculiar aura of will, as if anyone who dared to disobey would be threatened with death.
And it wasn't just this man; all the other men around him who were also tied to the pillars had this rune engraving on their chests.
Lin Que was the only one who didn't have it.
However, during the subsequent introduction, Lin Que was surprised to discover that the men tied to the pillars were not human, but came from a race he had never heard of before.
Eldar!
After hearing their background, Lin Que became even more depressed!
"Damn it, why don't they carve runes on me too?"
"Your chamber of commerce is racist, isn't it!"
Although he knew the rune wasn't anything good, Lin Que was still annoyed and felt like he was being treated differently.
So, humans are truly a creature that is both pretentious and contradictory.
Especially a despicable person like Lin Que!
However, as he cursed inwardly, Lin Que suddenly remembered the introduction the chamber of commerce host had given him, as well as the disdainful voices of the crowd below.
To say he is a mere mortal with no cultivation?
I'm a Nascent Soul Realm expert standing right here, are you guys blind?!
Could it be... that something is wrong?
Lin Que paused for a moment upon realizing this, and quickly checked his own condition. He found that his cultivation strength was indeed still there, but the aura he exuded seemed to be obscured by some kind of Great Dao rule, which was why those people could not see his true cultivation strength.
Of course, even if these people saw it, they wouldn't know what level of cultivation Lin Que possessed.
After thinking for a while, Lin Que quickly understood why. It was probably the result of being impacted by the chaotic rules of the Great Dao in that spatial vortex.
"The starting bid for this person is... 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones!!!"
"I want him!!!"
"Twenty thousand mid-grade spirit stones!!!"
"hehe!"
"Only 20,000?"
"You wish! I'll give you 50,000!!!"
"Oh dear! I'm not very talented, but my family does have some savings, so... 150,000 spirit stones!"
"Excuse me, kind brothers, could you please make way for my little sister?!"
"Three hundred thousand..."
A clear, cool voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention to the source of the sound. They discovered a woman with a light veil covering her face and an ethereal air.
Beside her sat a group of sect guards, clearly of very noble origin!
"It's...it's Saintess Lingyun!"
"I didn't expect the Lingyun Holy Land to make a move. Oh well... I'll give up on this person. There's always another one."
"I... give up too..."
"..."
While Lin Que was still deep in thought, the bidding at the auction began, causing him to abandon his contemplation and return to the scene.
"I must have been swept into an unfamiliar star realm by that spatial vortex, although I still don't understand why I'm tied up here."
"But given Qingling's strength, there shouldn't be any major problems."
"In that case, we might as well wait and see how things develop."
"As for that foolish Shen Wuliang... hehe!"
"He doesn't care whether he lives or dies!"
Having made up his mind, Lin Que relaxed and observed how things would unfold...
