Lin Feng, who was cultivating in seclusion within the System space, felt a slight stir in his mind.

He sensed a disturbance outside his Immortal Cave, someone was gently knocking on the stone door of the inner chamber.

His thoughts swirled, and his figure instantly faded within the Immortal Cave space. The next moment, he appeared in the main hall of the Immortal Cave.

“Come in, Yunzhi,” he said gently.

The stone door opened in response, and Han Yunzhi, dressed in a light green silk dress, gracefully walked in.

Seeing Lin Feng, a joyful smile immediately bloomed on her beautiful face. She quickly stepped forward and bowed.

“Young Master, the capital's underground auction that you asked me to pay attention to will have a session tomorrow.”

As she spoke, a hint of difficulty entered her tone.

“It's just… Yunzhi hasn't been able to obtain an invitation yet. Please punish me, Young Master.”

Lin Feng's heart stirred. He had previously gone to the capital of Yue Kingdom multiple times to search for Qi Yunxiao without success, and later he had entrusted Han Yunzhi to pay close attention to the auctions in the capital of Yue Kingdom.

After all, Qi Yunxiao should currently be on his way, searching for medicine.

Looking at Han Yunzhi's somewhat self-reproaching expression, Lin Feng reached out and ruffled her small head.

“You've worked hard, Yunzhi. Don't worry about the invitation; I have my own way to resolve it.”

Han Yunzhi's pretty face instantly flushed crimson. She lowered her head slightly, feeling the warmth from above, and her heart felt as sweet as if it had been filled with honey.

Han Yunzhi nodded obediently, her eyes filled with joy and admiration.

…

The next day, in the capital of Yue Kingdom.

The bustling streets were filled with people coming and going, a constant flow of traffic.

Lin Feng, dressed in brocade robes and holding a folding fan, looked like a wealthy Mortal Young Master, leisurely strolling through the streets.

He suppressed his cultivation to the second level of Qi Refinement Stage, appearing like a low-level Loose Cultivator who had just embarked on the immortal path with shallow Foundation, utterly inconspicuous.

He had been wandering in this city for half a day, but the System had not given any hints about Qi Yunxiao.

It seemed that meeting Qi Yunxiao ahead of time truly depended on fate.

Lin Feng was not in a hurry. He leisurely walked towards his destination for this trip—the auction house hidden within the bustling city.

At the entrance of the auction house, a Cultivator dressed as a young attendant stood by the door.

This was a young Cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refinement Stage, standing idly with a hint of arrogance unbefitting his age on his face.

Seeing Lin Feng slowly approach, he raised an eyelid, extended his arm, and directly blocked him.

“Hey, where did this new face come from?” The attendant's voice was sharp, carrying a scrutinizing tone, “Do you have an invitation?”

Before Lin Feng could reply, a heavy footsteps sounded from beside him.

A corpulent, oily-faced middle-aged Cultivator walked over, his belly protruding.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the attendant's arrogance instantly transformed into a fawning smile, and he quickly bowed in salute.

“Oh, it's Wind Venerable Senior! What brings you here? Please come in, please come in!”

Lin Feng's heart stirred upon hearing this.

Wind Venerable? What a grand title.

His Divine Sense swept over discreetly, and the other party's cultivation at the eleventh level of Qi Refinement Stage was instantly revealed.

He almost burst out laughing.

A mere Cultivator who hadn't even reached Great Perfection of Qi Refinement Stage dared to call himself a Venerable in a Mortal kingdom. It truly was a case of the monkey becoming king when the tiger was away.

The corpulent “Wind Venerable” walked straight in, his nostrils flared, completely ignoring the attendant's fawning.

As he passed by Lin Feng, he deliberately bumped Lin Feng with his fleshy shoulder, and a greasy, sweaty smell wafted over.

Lin Feng frowned slightly and subtly cast a Dust Cleansing Spell on himself, dispelling the nauseating smell.

The attendant remained unfazed by “Wind Venerable's” rude behavior, still smiling broadly as he watched the other party swagger into the venue.

Only when the fat man's figure disappeared behind the door did he straighten up. The smile on his face instantly vanished, and when he turned to look at Lin Feng, he reverted to his arrogant and overbearing demeanor.

Perhaps the sight of his subservient behavior just now, witnessed by Lin Feng, had annoyed him, and his tone became particularly unfriendly.

“What are you looking at? If you don't have an invitation, scram! Do you want me to personally kick you out?”

Lin Feng's expression was calm, as if he hadn't heard the anger in his words. He merely asked faintly, “That fat… that Senior just now didn't seem to show an invitation. Why did you let him in?”

The attendant scoffed as if he had heard the greatest joke, scrutinizing Lin Feng from head to toe, his eyes full of disdain.

“Ha! You must be a newcomer from out of town; you don't even know Wind Venerable?”

He pointed triumphantly towards the venue.

“Let me tell you, Wind Venerable is from the Black Fiend Sect! Do you know the Black Fiend Sect? That's the number one hidden power in our Yue Kingdom. It's said that there are powerful Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage guarding it, and more than one!”

The attendant puffed out his chest, as if boasting to an outsider brought him honor.

“Your mere second-level Qi Refinement cultivation, do you even qualify to compare with Wind Venerable? Let me tell you, here, strength is the best ticket!”

“I see.” Lin Feng nodded in sudden understanding. “Then I'll give you a ticket.”

The attendant looked puzzled upon hearing this, not yet reacting.

Lin Feng raised his hand and casually made a grabbing motion in the air beside him, where there was no one.

The next instant, he gently released it.

With a “thud.”

The “Wind Venerable” who had just entered the venue suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of the attendant, falling flat on his back on the ground, his eyes wide and vacant, his expression dull, and muttering to himself.

The mockery and confusion on the attendant's face instantly froze.

He widened his eyes, looking at the fat man with scattered eyes on the ground, then at the calm-faced Lin Feng in front of him, his mind a blank.

This… what kind of immortal spell is this?

He hadn't even seen any signs of the other party casting a spell!

This was completely beyond the scope of his fourth-level Qi Refinement Stage understanding.

A chill shot from the soles of his feet straight to his head. His legs weakened, and he directly knelt down.

…

A moment later, Lin Feng was already safely seated in an inconspicuous corner of the auction hall.

He did not make things difficult for the two low-level Cultivators at the entrance.

Under their terrified gazes, he merely used a Divine Thought secret technique from the Great Evolution Art, silently erasing their memories of his earlier actions, leaving only the thought: “This person has an invitation and can enter.”

After all, he was not like Sea God or Desolate Heaven Emperor; there was no need to kill over such a small matter.

The method of conjuring people out of thin air just now was a type of illusion Lin Feng created by flexibly using various abilities.

He first left a trace of Divine Thought on the corpulent Cultivator, then used his Divine Sense to control him and used a Boundary Breaking Teleportation Talisman to teleport him in front of himself, thereby achieving a scene of pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger and showing off.

If he advanced to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future, showing off wouldn't be so troublesome.

No longer thinking about it, Lin Feng looked towards the auction hall.

The hall was dimly lit, and most Cultivators wore masks or black robes, though some local Cultivators did not conceal their identities.

However, most of them had restrained auras, clearly distinct from each other, maintaining a cautious distance.

Lin Feng's Divine Sense silently swept across the entire venue.

Soon, his Divine Sense locked onto a Cultivator also sitting in a corner, draped in a black robe, but whose figure appeared somewhat slender.

Although that person tried their best to remain calm, their fingers on their knees were trembling slightly, and from time to time, they would anxiously adjust their sitting posture, appearing somewhat fidgety.

This unconcealable urgency and nervousness, combined with the young face beneath the mask, made Lin Feng realize that he had probably met the main character.

A slow smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.

Finally, I've met you, Qi Yunxiao.
