His eyes turned cold.
"If you keep talking nonsense, I don’t mind crippling your cultivation first."
Young Master Qin immediately fell silent, fear in his eyes.
He could run rampant in Luoyun City only because of his father’s reputation. If his cultivation were truly crippled...
Seeing the others quiet down, Gu Sheng sat cross-legged again and continued his cultivation. But this time, he was more cautious, not only hiding his aura but also using his Divine Sense to monitor Young Master Qin and the others.
"This Gu Sheng... dares to humiliate me like this!"
Young Master Qin lowered his head, a flash of venom passing through his eyes.
"When my father arrives, I’ll make sure he neither lives nor dies!"
But on the surface, he dared not show any hostility.
A day and a night passed, and Gu Sheng finally exited his cultivation state. The Yang Dao Third Level still hadn’t been broken through, but his True Yuan had become more condensed than before.
He stood up and stretched his muscles, looking at the few people sleeping in the corner.
"Lucky for you."
Gu Sheng murmured softly. If it weren’t for considering Young Master Qin’s father’s strength, with his character, he wouldn’t have let these wastrels off so easily.
He pushed the door open and coincidentally saw the backs of Mu Feng and Mu Xi siblings hurriedly leaving the inn.
"So early, where are they going?"
Gu Sheng pondered slightly.
"Could it be they’re also going to the auction?"
But then he thought, given the Mu siblings’ modest means, they probably couldn’t even afford the entrance fee to the auction, at most just to have a look.
Shaking his head, Gu Sheng walked towards Ling Xiao’s room and gently knocked on the door.
"Ling Xiao, it’s time to go."
A moment later, the door opened, and Ling Xiao, looking weary, came out.
"So early? Isn’t the auction at noon..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw the people tied up in Gu Sheng’s room and widened his eyes.
"This is...?"
"A few reckless wastrels who disturbed my cultivation."
Gu Sheng said casually.
Ling Xiao walked into the room, and upon seeing Young Master Qin’s face, his expression changed slightly.
"Isn’t this the Qin family’s notorious playboy? You actually..."
"Just temporarily detained."
Gu Sheng interrupted him.
"His father is in the Tribulation Crossing Realm; there’s no need to make a mortal enemy."
Ling Xiao clicked his tongue in wonder.
"I must say, you were too lenient.
Such wastrels ought to be taught a good lesson."
Gu Sheng shook his head.
"This is Luoyun City, his father’s territory. We came for the auction; let’s not make extra trouble."
"True enough."
Ling Xiao shrugged, then curiously asked.
"How’s your cultivation going? Any progress with the Yang Dao?"
Gu Sheng sighed.
"Progress is slow. The Yang Dao Technique is extremely domineering, requiring a lot of accumulation for each level of breakthrough."
Ling Xiao, upon hearing this, had a subtly relieved expression.
"Take your time. There’s no rush. Let’s go and witness the Sky Cloud Pavilion’s auction."
The two left the inn and headed toward the city center’s Sky Cloud Pavilion. The early morning in Luoyun City was already bustling, with shops on both sides of the street gradually opening and more pedestrians appearing.
"By the way, did you notice the Mu siblings?"
Gu Sheng suddenly asked.
Ling Xiao nodded.
"Saw them; they headed towards the city center. What, are you suspicious of them..."
"Just thought it was a coincidence."
Gu Sheng said in a flat tone.
"Though it seems they probably don’t have anything valuable, and they’re just there to watch the excitement."
Ling Xiao laughed.
"Who knows, maybe they had some fortuitous encounter? In the Cultivation World, opportunities are endless."
Gu Sheng neither agreed nor disagreed, instead asking.
"How much do you know about this auction?"
"I’ve heard there are some good magical treasures and elixir pills."
Ling Xiao said enthusiastically.
"Especially the highlight item, said to have been excavated from the Ancient Ruins, even the Sky Cloud Pavilion’s Treasure Appraisers can’t identify its origin."
Gu Sheng nodded, not saying much more.
He wasn’t too interested in these things, having seen genuine treasures in the Treasure Pavilion of Tianlan Sacred Land before.
But for the potentially appearing item, he decided it was worth a trip.
"Two Earth Rank Spirit Swords, that’s qualified enough."
