Balak City, as the capital of the Balak Kingdom.
Its scale is comparable to some major cities within the Heaven Dou Empire.
Since Lin Yuan had come, there was no reason not to enter.
As for the matter of school, with his speed, he could easily arrive at Soto Intermediate Soul Master Academy on the day of enrollment.
After entering Balak City, for safety reasons, Lin Yuan did not rush to his destination.
Instead, he circled along the streets and alleys several times, confirming that no one was truly following him.
Only then did he purchase a map of Balak City and, following its guidance, arrived at Balak City’s auction house.
Taking out Dai Mubai’s spirit tool to serve as an auction item, after obtaining the qualification to enter the auction house, Lin Yuan, under the reception of a beautiful maid, arrived at the VIP room.
After inquiring, he learned that the starting bid for thousand-year whale glue had already been driven up to two thousand gold coins.
Ten-thousand-year whale glue was even over ten thousand.
Fortunately, today the auction house had three pieces of thousand-year whale glue and one piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue for sale.
With the mindset that it wasn’t his own money and there was no need to feel distressed, Lin Yuan waved his hand grandly and bought those three pieces of thousand-year whale glue at a price far above market value.
He also bought several spirit tools of decent quality, cashing out tens of thousands of gold coins.
As for that piece of ten-thousand-year whale glue, there were simply too many people competing for it, and most were hoarding it for speculation, just like hoarding gold in his previous life.
To avoid becoming a target of everyone.
Lin Yuan did not compete for it.
Even if he had won it, it would have been useless, because with his cultivation level, even if he fully activated the Supreme Sacred Universe Skill, he could not melt it.
If he used ordinary fire, he would only roast the whale glue into charcoal.
But he did not want to cause trouble.
Yet someone wanted to cause trouble for him.
No sooner had he obtained the auction items and before he could even step out of the auction house’s main door, a tender, delicate voice sounded from behind: “Hey, you in black up front, stop right there.”
Lin Yuan recognized the voice as the person who had competed with him for the thousand-year whale glue earlier, and also the final winner of the ten-thousand-year whale glue.
He turned around and saw a girl slightly older than Dai Mubai and a boy about his own age walking over.
The girl was extremely beautiful, with short hair that reached her ears, looking about twelve or thirteen years old.
She wore a neat, tight outfit that closely wrapped her well-developed figure.
A pair of deep brown eyes were fixed intently on Lin Yuan, with an expression that said she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
The boy beside the girl also had a pair of deep brown eyes, and his appearance was seventy to eighty percent similar to the girl’s; they looked like a pair of siblings.
But in the boy’s eyes, there was a maturity that the girl lacked.
Lin Yuan discreetly sized them up and found that although this person was not old, the Soul Power fluctuations on him were unusually strong, likely already at the Spirit Elder level.
The girl was the same.
But judging by her appearance, it was unlikely she was a transmigrator.
Instead, it was more likely that the boy, at the age of twelve or thirteen, had advanced to Spirit Elder.
After all, as long as one was a Genius, by taking whale glue to increase the age limit of spirit rings and absorbing spirit rings beyond the age limit, breaking through to Spirit Elder before thirteen was still highly possible.
A nine-year-old Spirit Elder, another transmigrator?
Lin Yuan murmured inwardly, but on the surface, he remained calm and said in a deep voice: “What do you want?”
“Of course I want something.
I am Meng Yiran of the Longshe Family, and this is my younger brother Meng Baichuan.
The renowned Dragon and Snake of the Spirit Master world are our grandparents.
If you know what’s good for you, hand over those three pieces of thousand-year whale glue immediately, or you won’t leave here today.”
Originally, with the money she and her brother had, they could have auctioned off those three pieces of thousand-year whale glue.
But because Lin Yuan had doubled the price.
In order not to miss the ten-thousand-year whale glue later, she had been forced to give up.
Facing Meng Yiran’s coercion, Lin Yuan only asked one question: “Are Senior Dragon Duke and Senior Snake Granny here?”
“No.” Meng Yiran had always been straightforward, and upon hearing this, she answered directly.
“If they’re not here, why are you asking me for whale glue?” Lin Yuan questioned sternly.
“You…” Meng Yiran was momentarily speechless.
Just then, hearing the commotion, an auction house staff member walked over.
He first sized up the three of them, then revealed six spirit rings—two yellow, three purple, and one black—and said in a businesslike manner:
“You three, this is an auction house, fighting is prohibited.
If you have any conflicts, please resolve them outside.”
The boy standing beside Meng Yiran saw Lin Yuan dressed in black with a veil hat, a circle of black gauze hanging down, completely covering his face in shadow, and his Soul Power cultivation at around level twenty-something.
Meng Baichuan seemed to have a guess in his heart, and immediately advised from the side: “Forget it, sister.
This matter is our fault in the first place.”
“Alright.” It could be seen that the girl truly doted on her younger brother.
Upon hearing this, her previous anger dissipated, and she actually backed down.
Lin Yuan did not bother with them anymore and turned to leave.
“Xiao Chuan, with our strength, either of us alone could crush him.
Why let him go?”
Meng Yiran looked at her younger brother in confusion.
Meng Baichuan did not answer.
Instead, after glancing at Lin Yuan’s retreating figure, he turned and took out the Longshe Family token, asking the Spirit Emperor from the auction house:
“We are from the Longshe Family.
May I ask, did that black-robed person just now pay with a gold card from the Star Luo Empire?”
The Longshe Family was a powerful Spirit Master Sect second only to the Seven Great Sects of the world.
With their Dragon-Snake Combination Spirit Fusion skill, even the lower four Sects did not dare provoke them easily.
Seeing the boy actually pull out the Longshe Family token, that Spirit Emperor immediately put on a friendly smile:
“So it’s a Disciple of the Longshe Family.
My apologies, young master is correct.
That gold card indeed comes from the Star Luo Empire, and it has a white tiger emblem on it.”
Hearing this, the boy’s face showed an expression of ‘just as I thought,’ then he looked at Meng Yiran and said: “Sister, it won’t be long before we meet him again.”
Upon hearing this, Meng Yiran seemed to think of something and asked in surprise: “Could it be that he is also going to Shrek?”
Meng Baichuan nodded, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.
Ever since Lin Yuan cultivated the Five Thunders Heavenly Heart Formula and the Supreme Sacred Universe Skill, his five senses had far surpassed those of Spirit Masters of the same level.
Therefore, even though there was some distance between them, he still heard their conversation clearly.
Hearing Meng Baichuan conclude that he was going to Shrek Academy and seemingly mistaking him for Dai Mubai, Lin Yuan found it somewhat amusing.
But then again, that boy’s strength was at the Spirit Elder stage, and he still didn’t know what the other’s reliance was.
For now, it was better not to act rashly.
To avoid losing more than he gained.
Everything should be done with caution.
