I Might Be A Fake Cultivator

Chapter 1214: Stormy Situation in the Auction House

“The enemy was able to destroy the entire Second Divine Mirror Enforcement Team… They’re at least a supreme being of the Return to Void Stage, right?” An Lin was furious as he said this. “A supreme being of the Return to Void Stage is actually stealing Dark Essence Crystals? Not only that, but they also massacred our Divine Mirror Enforcement Team?!”

“I have no idea what the enemy is thinking,” Bai Ling said coldly. “However, my guess is that their rank is not of the Return to Void Stage. Rather, I believe that they can increase their power by using some sort of mystic technique…”

“Can you track them down?” An Lin asked coldly.

“Before dying, a member of the enforcement team planted a nano-tracker on the enemy,” Bai Ling replied. “Right now, the tracker is showing that the enemy has already traveled to the Thunder State.”

An Lin took a deep breath. “No wonder you’re telling me this. The Thunder State is right below me! Fine, I’ll deal with this matter.”

The Thunder State was located near the center of the Kingdom of the Nine States. Moreover, the Heavenly Court was located directly above this Thunder State.

Bai Ling’s tone relaxed noticeably. “Although the nano-tracker sends signals stealthily and is extremely hard to detect, it does contain some flaws. For example, its precision is relatively low.

“Right now, I can only determine that he’s entered the Heavenly Treasure Pagoda of Huang Ji City. However, I can’t narrow the tracking down to a single living entity. You’ll need to find the right person yourself.

“If you’re able to head over there and find the enemy yourself, then I won’t send any more Return to Void Stage supreme beings over…”

An Lin nodded and replied, “Don’t worry, leave it to me!”

There was no time to waste, and An Lin activated his Invisibility Spell immediately after hanging up the voice transmission talisman. He flew out of the classroom window and vanished from the views of the teacher and students.

Ditching class openly was a bit too conspicuous, so An Lin chose to ditch class stealthily instead.

Huang Ji City wasn’t far from the Heavenly Court, and flying over there via Sword Kinesis Flight was faster than traveling over there via teleportation spell formations.

An Lin leaped off the edge of the floating continent and free-fell through the fluffy white clouds.

A black brick expanded under him and eventually grew to a size of ten feet in length.

Just like that, the male descended toward the Thunder State on his black brick.

…

Huang Ji City was the second largest city of the Thunder State. It was only smaller than the main city, which was home to the Flying Gold Imperial Family. Its territory was especially vast, and the dense buildings and pagodas residing within it stretched for as far as the eyes could see.

Moreover, Huang Ji City was also the largest commercial center of the Thunder State. Countless cultivators and beings from different parts of the continent gathered here to engage in trading.

“Huang Ji City’s Heavenly Treasure Pagoda… If I remember correctly, that place often auctions rare and valuable items. Could it be… that the enemy wants to auction the Dark Essence Crystal?!” An Lin became furious as he analyzed the situation.

He suppressed his aura and altered his appearance slightly. Unless it was a super mighty being of the Dao Integration Stage, no one would be able to detect his true cultivation base.

A mighty structure appeared before his eyes. It was a gigantic pagoda, which measured over one thousand feet in height.

“Halt! The auction has already begun. No one is allowed in!” Two powerful guards drew their swords and blocked An Lin’s path.

An Lin blinked and walked away silently.

Then, he activated the Divine Liquid Creation Technique and cloaked himself in invisibility.

“Heh, you want to keep me out with such a measly power?”

A white glow flashed across An Lin’s eyes as he swaggered into the Heavenly Treasure Pagoda. A gigantic spell formation appeared before him, and he easily tore a circular hole into it after flicking his finger at some location.

An Lin stepped through this breach and entered the auction house.

This place was extremely boisterous, and it appeared as though the auction had already reached its climax.

“F*ck, so many people! How the hell am I supposed to find the enemy now?” An Lin was instantly stupefied upon seeing the close to one thousand people present.

So be it, I’ll just observe them carefully. The enemy is bound to leave some traces.

The seating in the auction house was divided into three different tiers—Heaven, Earth, and Mortal.

The enemy has done something bad, and now, they’re auctioning the Dark Essence Crystals that they’ve stolen. They must be keeping a low profile right now. In fact, it’s likely that they’re currently seated in the Mortal tier.

With this in mind, An Lin turned his gaze toward the Mortal-tier seating area.

…

At this moment, in some Heaven-tier seat.

Huang Fuwen sat upright and sipped at some fragrant tea.

There was a hostile look in his eyes as he glanced at the other cultivators seated in the Heaven-tier seats. Then, he started exchanging flirtatious glances with the beautiful auction hostess.

Competing against others for treasures, screwing others over, and flirting with beautiful hostesses or perhaps even taking it one step further… This was the true significance of partaking in auctions.

Huang Fuwen gazed at the auction stage as he sipped some tea. “The last item for auction is the immortal-rank treasure, the Mysterious Snow Heavenly Ice Root… This is the first harmonizing agent that I need after absorbing the power of the Dark Essence Crystal. I must obtain it!”

“If I can fully absorb the power of the Dark Essence Crystal, then my cultivation base will definitely be able to reach the Soul Formation Pinnacle Stage! At that time, even if the sect leader of the Four Nine Immortal Sect comes, you and I will be able to hold him off!” Huang Fuwen glanced at the black bead in his hands.

The black bead started flashing, and Elder Ming’s voice traveled out from within it.

“Don’t be too arrogant and conceited. Your natural talents are extraordinary, and you’re also willing to fight and compete. It’s only a matter of time before you become stronger than An Lin. However, that time isn’t now. You still need to keep a low profile for the time being.”

Huang Fuwen clenched his fists. “The Four Nine Immortal Sect forced you to expend some of your divine sense powers and wounded your divine sense again. I’ll definitely exact revenge for you!”

…

At this moment.

An Lin sighed in admiration as he continued to search for the enemy.

The enemy was too well disguised!

The cultivators seated in the Mortal-tier seating area all appeared extremely ordinary!

“They can endure lying low and disguising themselves as an ordinary cultivator. Moreover, their disguise is absolutely flawless. Sure enough, this is a very capable enemy,” An Lin couldn’t help but exclaim in praise.

The auction continued without hitches.

The mysterious enemy still hadn’t displayed any flaws. Instead, the cultivators in the Heaven-tier seating area were going absolutely spastic. They kept trying to outbid each other, and the atmosphere over there was especially heated.

This was especially the case for a male cultivator named Huang Fuwen. An arrogant smile would stretch across his face every time he raised the bid and screwed over some other Heaven-tier bidder. An Lin felt an urge to charge over and beat him up.

Do you think it’s reasonable to screw others over? Also, what’s with that arrogant smile?

However, in order to find the hidden enemy, An Lin suppressed his urge of wanting to charge over and beat him up.

“Next, we’ll be auctioning a mysterious item. This item is a mysterious piece of black wood that was discovered by the Pagoda Lord of the Heavenly Treasure Pagoda in some ancient artifact market. Its origins and composition are unclear, but it possesses an extremely powerful energy fluctuation. At the very least, it’s an immortal-rank item. Thus, the starting price for it is five hundred thousand spirit stones!”

There was a smile on the beautiful hostess’ face as she announced this.

Cries of surprise sounded throughout the auction hall when this starting price was announced.

There was a disinterested look on Huang Fuwen’s face as he gazed at the mysterious piece of wood.

However, Elder Ming’s voice suddenly traveled over at this instant.

“Good heavens! This item is the bone marrow essence of a Dao Integration Stage True Dragon! It’s a divine-rank item! I can forge a powerful weapon for you if you obtain this item. You must obtain it!”

Huang Fuwen’s gaze became extremely intense.

This bone marrow essence was definitely going to be his!

This was the benefit of having an old grandpa with him. Nothing of value could escape his sharp eyes.

At this moment, a white glow also flashed across An Lin’s eyes.

Nothing could escape from his Divine Inspection Technique!

A string of information started appearing in his mind.

[Bone marrow essence: Bone marrow essence of Ye Cuntian, a Dao Integration Stage True Dragon of the Primordial Dragon Tribe. Excellent material for refining tools or pills. There exists some probability of attaining enlightenment of the Dao Integration Stage True Dragon’s true intent. Divine-rank material.]

An Lin couldn’t help but chuckle.

What black piece of wood…

This is clearly a bone!

Clueless people…

This bone is mine!
