C2616 Homecoming

"The mountains never change. I only advise you to be more careful in the future. Don't fall into my hands again, or else …"

After slapping Xiao Die, Yu Huan Feng showed no mercy to the five bloody red marks on her face. He only sneered coldly and left after saying that one threatening word to Lin Bai.

"That little girl is really reckless. That Second Young Master Lao Shi Yu was fooled by you, Master. It's laughable that she didn't see through it, and even wanted to use it to mock Master. That slap on her face was also asking for it!" Looking at the little butterfly who was sobbing and covering her face, Shang Zhuo started to laugh out loud. This woman had ridiculed him time and time again, but now he was blamed for it. This truly made him happy.

Lin Bai also smiled without saying a word. It was just as Shang Zhuo had said, that woman called Little Butterfly had indeed brought it upon herself to receive this slap. Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that Second Young Master Yu had bought the Space Abyss Rock with ten intermediate grade immortal stones. He had made a loss and had been tricked by Lin Bai.

But this little girl still wanted to use the folly of her master to mock Lin Bai. How could she not invite disaster?

Even though he had made a fool of Yu Huan Feng, Lin Bai felt quite pleased in his heart. However, he also understood that since he had already formed a feud with Yu Huan Feng back at the restaurant, if they continued to cause such a ruckus, it would be unsuitable for them to settle it. When they met again in the future, they would have to do as Yu Huan Feng had said.

Yu Huan Feng was nothing to worry about. However, the Yu Family, which was represented by him, could not be underestimated. Especially back at the restaurant, Granny Huo said that there was an old man in the Yu Family who couldn't die. Although his words were plain, it was obvious that even with Granny Huo's cultivation, she was somewhat afraid. Yu Huan Feng was the Yu Family's future hope. If he became enemies with this person, they would inevitably have to fight against the old monster behind him.

An old man in Heaven's Law could already make Lin Bai unable to make ends meet, and with the addition of an old man from the Yu Family who wouldn't die, it would probably be even more troublesome.

However, the issue had already been settled, and there was no point in being upset now. Moreover, based on Yu Huan Feng's temperament, he was not someone who would let the matter go so easily.

"Senior, this crimson red iron piece is truly unable to compensate senior. I hope senior can choose a few more items and treat it as a gift from me." While Lin Bai was pondering, Zhang Qin said with an awkward expression.

The crimson metal piece was something he had unintentionally obtained, so how could he know what it was? He only thought that it was some sort of ordinary object and naturally thought that Lin Bai's intention of buying it was to humiliate him. He was only at the Sunlight Realm, how could he dare to offend someone like Lin Bai? He immediately wanted to give Lin Bai a few more items so that he could calm his anger and avoid igniting the flames in his body.

"I have indeed taken a fancy to this crimson red metal piece. Rest assured, I will not make things difficult for you …" The people of the Immortal World were already used to the law of the jungle. Now that he had expressed his good will, Zhang Qin thought it was actually a trap and immediately added: "However, since you're interested, I'll choose a few more items."

After he finished speaking, Lin Bai picked out a few worthless items from Zhang Qin's stall. After the selection, Lin Bai wanted to give Zhang Qin a few low-grade spirit stones as compensation, but Zhang Qin refused. Seeing that he had finished choosing the items, Zhang Qin's face revealed a relaxed expression. Lin Bai bitterly smiled and did not insist on paying.

After this matter had been settled, Lin Bai brought Jin Baohong and Monk Zhuo to the inner part of the market. After walking a distance away, only then did Shang Zhuo finally be unable to suppress the curiosity in his heart. He puzzledly asked Lin Bai, "Master, I really can't understand what exactly you're planning to do with that piece of rotten metal. It's all over the street and it's inconspicuous even when tossed on the ground."

"Forsaken Boots, my precious treasure. How could you possibly understand the value of this item?!" Seeing that there was no one around, he took out the crimson red metal piece. Then, he threw it into the air and released the He Tuoluo book. Once the He Tuoluo book appeared, it immediately revealed an extremely greedy look.

When this strange phenomenon appeared, both Shang Zhuo and Jin Baohong were flabbergasted as they looked at Lin Bai in disbelief. Although they did not know what use this crimson red iron piece had, judging from its performance alone, it was clearly an extraordinary item.

While the two of them were still in shock, Lin Bai also released a wisp of his divine sense into the River Diagram. He wanted to investigate what would happen if the three scarlet red iron pieces gathered together after the red iron piece entered the River Diagram. However, to Lin Bai's disappointment, these three crimson red iron plates were not connected at all. They were still stuck inside the He Tu Luo book without the slightest abnormality.

This performance immediately caused Lin Bai to sigh. Even so, he was still very happy. Although he still did not know what it was, from the characteristics it had revealed before, it was already an extraordinary item. If he was lucky enough to gather it in the future, it would definitely make the treasure shine again.

Also, since some of these treasures could appear in the mortal realm and others in the Celestial Realm, there must be some secrets hidden within. If he waited until all the treasures were gathered, he might be able to solve some of his confusion.

When Lin Bai made his move, he immediately picked up a big loophole. After he found such an extraordinary treasure, he naturally wanted to see Shang Zhuo and Jin Baohong eat to their hearts' content.

It was a pity that the two of them did not have Lin Bai's luck. They naturally did not gain anything from the scouting. Not to mention them, even Lin Bai seemed to have used up all his luck because of the crimson red metal card. Even though he had seen many stalls, he was unable to find anything that could move his heart.

Although the whole trip to the marketplace only received one crimson red iron piece, which was rather regretful, Lin Bai did not find it strange. The value of this crimson red iron piece could not be measured by its value. By chance, it was already considered a blessing from heaven to be able to obtain this piece.

Moreover, he knew that apart from being lucky, the main reason why he obtained the crimson iron piece was because it looked extremely ordinary. There was nothing out of the ordinary about it, which was why it was treated normally by others. As for the other valuable items, the people of the Immortal World weren't ordinary people. How could they just blindly give them away at a low price?

Even if he continued shopping in the market, he would not be able to find anything else. It seemed like he had to go to the auction to see if there were any good things.

After inquiring about the people who passed by, Lin Bai and the rest found out that the auction venue was located in the deepest part of the market. Moreover, this auction was organized by one of the most famous businesses in the Immortal World, the Gui Family Trading Company.

The Gui Family's business was very famous in the Immortal World. Although it wasn't one of the big five, its reputation was at least one of the big five. It was not because of anything else but because the Gui Yuan Sect was extremely powerful. Every time an auction was held, there would be unexpected items that would cause countless people to fight over them.

Not only that, there were even rumors saying that the reason why the Gui Yuan Sect hadn't become one of the five giants was not because of their weak strength, but because the Gui clan had always kept a low profile and didn't like to show off. If they really competed in terms of strength, the Gui Yuan Sect might not be below the Immortal World's Five Great Leaders, and might even have the ability to enter the top three.

Lin Bai didn't doubt the words of the passerby at all. The Immortal World was a place where the strong preyed on the weak. Since the Gui Yuan Sect had such an extraordinary background, it naturally attracted the attention of many. Even the five giants of the Immortal World might be tempted by the Gui Yuan Sect. In such a situation, although there was no disturbance on the surface, no one knew how many times they had collided.

The reason why the Gui Yuan Trading Company was able to stand firmly in its position, naturally showed that it had its own uniqueness. Apart from the low key and modesty that allowed them to survive in the cracks, it was likely that the strength of the clan was sufficient to support the Trading Company.

If it wasn't for this, the name 'Gui' would probably have been replaced by some other word in the trading company's name.

After listening to the narration of the passerby, Lin Bai had the urge to participate in the auction. Everyone had said that the Gui Yuan Sect would search through all sorts of places with nothing special about it. It was possible that there might be something that could move one's heart within the auction. Not only that, the auction was extremely grand and countless people would attend the auction. He might be able to find some information about the old man Tian Liang's recent activities from the auction.

With the decision made in his heart, Lin Bai didn't hesitate as he brought Shang Zhuo and Jin Baohong towards the Gui Yuan Sect. He wanted to see what the auction was like!

The three of them rushed to the innermost part of the market in a short time. They saw a tall building in the market which looked like a castle in the secular world. It was grand and majestic.

Not only that, but Lin Bai also realized that the people walking around were all in the Heaven's Expanse Palace, different from the ones in the outer parts of the city. Moreover, when many people entered the Gui Yuan Sect, their faces were filled with anticipation and excitement. This sight was sufficient to prove that the Gui Yuan Sect held a high position within the Immortal World's trading company. Otherwise, there would not be so many people looking forward to it.

"Let's go in and take a look!" Looking at the grand building and the eager gazes of the people around him, Lin Bai waved his hand. Immediately, he strode towards the entrance of the trading firm, bringing along Shang Zhuo and Jin Baohong, who also had looks of longing on their faces.

Weng! * However, when he took one step forward, a strange pattern immediately appeared in the arena, blocking the three of them. It was as if a strange pattern had suddenly appeared out of thin air!
