Chapter 63

Aunt Lin is an ordinary person, and Lin Xiu, who probably didn't inherit his father's talent, would also be an ordinary person. The relationship between a cultivator and an ordinary person is generally not looked upon favorably, but Lin Ying didn't care about this, and they had been living well for so many years.

One could still see that Aunt Lin must have been very beautiful when she was young. Although the years had left their mark, Lin Ying's eyes were still filled with love.

As soon as Wang Meng left, Lin Xiu relaxed and whispered to Suo Ming, as if they had endless topics to discuss.

After the two finished chatting, Lin Ying asked, "Kid, how many levels have you cultivated to now?"

"Sixteen levels, I will work hard!" Suo Ming said.

"Ha ha, sixteen levels, that's quite good. You came just in time. I happen to have some good materials here, I'll make you a weapon to take back."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin."

"Family, no need to be so formal. By the way, why did you go back to the Thunderlight Hall? I heard that the Thunderlight Hall has declined a lot in recent years."

Lin Ying asked, currently the Horizontal Mountain Hall was the one with the best development for physical cultivators.

Suo Ming scratched his head and briefly explained the situation, which made Lin Ying quite curious, "Interesting, ha ha. No matter where you go, you must work hard and not disgrace the Holy Hall."

"Yes, Uncle Lin, I'll go see the boss."

"Go ahead."

Lin Ying was left with a doubt, how could someone see through Suo Ming's weakness? It must have been a fluke.

"Boss, do you want me to show you around? I know this place well!" Suo Ming was very excited when he came back.

"Don't you want to chat a bit more?" Wang Meng asked, "I see this family treats you well."

"Of course, actually, once I learn enough skills and can leave the mountain, I plan to come here to protect them!"

Suo Ming patted his chest.

So what if he became a cultivator? He was just a stronger person. Some people would change drastically, while others would remain the same.

"Let's go, take a look."

Initially, the cities of cultivators were just places to rest and occasionally exchange resources. But now they have developed into a special existence where anything can be exchanged.

The street where Lin Ying was located was quite unique in Tongming City. Led by Lin Yin, a group from the Holy Hall accepted ordinary people, forming a considerable force.

"Boss, the most famous place in any city is definitely their auction house. The backing of the Tongming Auction House is also very powerful. It's said that the backing is a patriarch-level figure."

Whether a large sect or a small sect, to be qualified as a patriarch, one must be at least at the 50th level.

And without such a figure to preside, it would be impossible to maintain the scene.

Wang Meng wasn't very interested in auctions, but such places were often well-informed. After so much time, with the power of the Demon God Sect, if there was any reaction, it would likely have reached the Small Thousand World by now.

Wangtian wouldn't let him go if he were still alive. Wang Meng knew that once he successfully entered the Great Thousand World, even if he didn't become a god, he would be invincible, which would be a fatal blow to the traditional divine cultivation forces in the Great Thousand World, especially the Demon God Sect, the first major sect in the Great Thousand World. Even if Wangtian were dead, with his abilities, he might have a way to spread the news, and Wang Meng couldn't be unprepared.

Wang Meng wasn't worried about the other side finding him; at least in the Small Thousand World, they were powerless. But he had to be prepared.

"Alright, let's go take a look."

"Great, boss, do you have a lot of spirit stones? I heard you all got some, is that true?"

"I don't have many on me, but the rumor is true. And now you're a disciple of the Thunderlight Hall, with your strength, you can definitely get spirit stones."

Wang Meng said, looking at the people coming and going on the street, scenes from the past flashed through his mind.

During the days he spent with Wang Meng, Suo Ming felt a completely different kind of person. There were actually such people in this world.

"You're all good people!" Suo Ming nodded and said.

"Good people?" Wang Meng laughed. He was far from being a good person; he just followed his own principles.

"Boss, outside, Holy Hall contributions are useless. Spirit stones are the hard currency, useful everywhere, but don't show off your wealth, it's dangerous."

Suo Ming rambled on, afraid that Wang Meng lacked experience.

"We're two penniless guys, what wealth do we have?"

"Also, don't be afraid of evil cultivators. They generally don't attack unless provoked. Be careful of demon cultivators, some of them practice malevolent techniques that can absorb others' essence to strengthen themselves."

"Then you have to be careful, demonesses especially like strong holy cultivators."

Wang Meng joked, and Suo Ming shuddered; the essence of physical cultivators was the best for absorption.

The Tongming Auction House not only regularly auctions various cultivation treasures and resources but also sells information and posts tasks. Such places generally have a certain level of credibility, though this credibility is relative and should be approached with caution.

Suo Ming also liked the hustle and bustle. The two found a corner to sit down. At this time, more and more cultivators were gathering in the auction house, a mix of all kinds, including demon cultivators, holy cultivators, and evil cultivators. If not for the ability to hide their essence, it would be easy to distinguish them, but it was impossible to tell which faction they belonged to.

Besides the three major sects and five major schools, there were many other types of sects. The auction house soon became lively. It was clear that this auction was at a lower level, with a mixed crowd and a lot of noise.

Wang Meng sat quietly, his divine sense gradually expanding, taking in the entire first floor.

"Have you heard? The Mad Sword Sect has joined the Ten Thousand Demon Sect. Now the Ten Thousand Demon Sect is even more powerful."

"The Ten Thousand Demon Sect has been eyeing the position of the Demon Heart Sect's leader for a long time. This is far from us, but now the Mad Sword Sect will be even more arrogant. They are the most powerful force in this area, and with the Ten Thousand Demon Sect as their backing, we have to be more careful."

"Indeed, a few days ago, they openly ambushed and killed several visiting cultivators outside the city, ruthless and brazen."

"There's nothing we can do. Tongming City is too sensitive, the three major sects and five major schools can't act openly, so the Mad Sword Sect benefits."

"I wonder if there will be anything good today."

"Do you think they have the guts to cause trouble here?"

"Probably not, but anyone who can run an auction house has considerable disciples."

"I hope to see some excitement."

Wang Meng found that most of the conversations were about the Mad Sword Sect, with a significant number of independent cultivators. His divine sense began to expand upward, passing through the second floor and reaching the third floor, where he encountered an array formation, but it couldn't stop him.

On the third floor, there were only three people.

"The Mad Sword Sect has been acting too recklessly lately. Without rules, there is no order. Their open ambushes outside the city are clearly a show of force!"

"Pao Ba is said to have obtained an ancient cultivation technique with astonishing power, otherwise, how could he catch the eye of the Ten Thousand Demon Sect? We'll watch and see, and if necessary, we'll have to ask the patriarch to step in."
