With the auction of the Fire Qilin Spirit coming to an end, the entire auction concludes.
Lin Chen follows behind Ning Hesheng to the backstage to make the paynt and handle the exchange of the auction item.
Entering the backstage, Lin Chen sees the young man in white, standing with his hands behind his back, smiling as he watches everyone making their exchanges.
The paynt order is according to the auction item’s serial number, which ans Ning Hesheng is last. Thus, Ning Hesheng isn’t in a rush to pay and waits in place.
While waiting, the young man in white suddenly steps over and stops in front of Ning Hesheng.
"Don’t you want to thank ? Otherwise, you might not have been able to buy this Fire Qilin."
Ning Hesheng smiles slightly: "Indeed, I should thank you. If you had insisted on bidding, I might have had to pay a higher price."
It’s okay to thank, but definitely can’t admit I’m out of money!
If I say I’m out of money, wouldn’t that an I owe soone a favor?
The young man in white smiles slightly: "Let’s get acquainted, Skywalking Sect, Nangong Li."
Ning Hesheng’s gaze changes subtly, with a touch more seriousness in his eyes.
Nangong Li, he doesn’t know, but he knows the Skywalking Sect.
They previously traveled west, even passing through the Skywalking Sect.
The Skywalking Sect is the strongest sect in the large area. It’s said there are over twenty Saints in the sect, so Nangong Li being a disciple of the Skywalking Sect is not soone easy to provoke.
Although this place is quite far from the Skywalking Sect, if anything indeed happens, Nangong Li could surely summon the Saint Great Powers from his sect to forcibly suppress him in an instant.
Although Qiyun Sect also has Saints, facing Skywalking Sect, they are clearly not comparable.
Ning Hesheng doesn’t want others to know his identity since he openly purchased the Fire Qilin Demon Beast Spirit. Who knows how many people are eyeing him in the auction house? Revealing his identity would not only cause trouble for himself but also the sect.
What if this matter reached the sect? Wouldn’t the sect ask, where did you get forty million Divine Crystals?
There’s no way to explain this matter.
Anyway, once he leaves Yuntian City, he and Lin Chen will leave through Star Sky Jump, so there’s no need to reveal his true identity.
"He Sen, a wanderer."
"A wanderer?"
Nangong Li’s smile deepens: "Then you need to be a little careful; a lot of people in the hall were watching you just now. After all, the Saint-level Middle Grade Demon Beast Spirit is of interest to many, even if they can’t shell out forty million Divine Crystals, they are still envious."
Ning Hesheng’s expression doesn’t change: "Thank you, fellow cultivator, for the reminder. You also auctioned for rubbings, and many people are as interested in exploring the Holy Domain as they are in the Saint-level Middle Grade Demon Beast Spirit. Even though you co from the powerful Skywalking Sect, you must also be cautious as unpredictable events may arise."
Nangong Li chuckles: "I’d like to see who dares to cause trouble for . When they do, my Skywalking Sect might gain so competent servants."
The Heavenly God Clan never accepts servitude, so even if the Heavenly God Clan roadblocks Nangong Li, and Nangong Li has the ability, he can either kill them or capture them, forcing them to serve him in the future. Although fundantally slaves, rules require them to be called servants or subordinates.
The Lower Realm Ten Thousand Clans serve as slaves to the Heavenly God Clan. If the Heavenly God Clan is enslaved, then wouldn’t their claim as Cosmic Rulers of the universe be aningless?
Following behind Nangong Li is a white-haired elder. Judging by his attire, he’s also part of the Skywalking Sect, silent and likely a servant or bodyguard of Nangong Li.
Nangong Li smiles: "He Dao You, after this, where are you headed?"
Ning Hesheng replies: "No fixed abode, wandering everywhere."
Nangong Li laughs: "Have you heard about the martial contest for marriage in Heavenly Inquiry Valley?"
Ning Hesheng pretends not to know, looking curious: "Martial contest for marriage, what is that?"
Nangong Li smiles: "There lives a Saint in Heavenly Inquiry Valley. He has a daughter and wants to find a husband for her, so he chose a martial contest for marriage. Whoever wins the final contest will receive a Tao Spirit and have the opportunity to break through and beco a Saint. Of course, you must be a proper son-in-law, since this Tao Spirit isn’t given for nothing."
Nangong Li sizes up Ning Hesheng: "He Dao You, are you single? You seem quite strong; you could give it a try."
Ning Hesheng frowns: "Since he has a daughter, why doesn’t he give the Tao Spirit directly to her, let her beco a Saint, and then find a man she likes as a husband? Isn’t that much simpler?"
Nangong Li laughs: "Many people have the sa initial reaction as you upon hearing this news, but there’s indeed a reason behind this."
"The Saint’s daughter is born with a terminal illness. Normally, she wouldn’t survive to adulthood, but her father, being a Saint, thought of many ways, exhausting ans to extend his daughter’s life. He also wanted his daughter to embark on the path of cultivation, beco an Immortal, gaining a stronger body and a longer life."
"However, her body is too weak to cultivate. Even after using countless Ling dicines, her condition has only slightly improved."
Ning Hesheng ponders: "So, his daughter is just an ordinary person?"
"Yes."
Nangong Li nods affirmatively, answering: "Precisely because she can’t cultivate, even though the Saint obtained a Tao Spirit, it’s impossible to give it to his daughter."
"Considering his daughter’s limited lifespan, the Saint decides to hold a marriage contest, hoping that within her limited life, she can live a complete life, have a lover, and bear a child as a continuation of her life."
"For his daughter, he’s willing to offer the Tao Spirit as a reward, seeking a strong son-in-law to assist him in becoming a Saint, and then care for his daughter, love her well, and accompany her to the end of her life."
Ning Hesheng finally understands the cause and effect of this event, unable to help but sigh: "This is a good father."
Nangong Li laughs: "Indeed, everyone has great respect for this father. Many people hope to seize this opportunity. I’ve inquired; the Saint’s daughter is not only not ugly but also very beautiful, just not in good health. So, marrying this woman, you’ll not only get a Tao Spirit but also a beautiful wife, definitely not a loss."
"So, He Dao You, are you interested in giving it a try? Whether you love the woman or not, you only need to treat her well, spending a trivial amount of ti that might save you tens of thousands of years of detours..."
