"Ye Lin."
Hearing Li Youwei’s question, Ye Lin simply replied indifferently.
"Ye Lin, a good name. What a coincidence, we even share the same surname! My surname is Ye, and so is yours."
"However, the auction is about to begin. An invitation is not enough; one also needs to possess wealth equivalent to a thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones. It doesn't necessarily have to be Spirit Stones; other items are fine too."
"But the total value must exceed a thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones. So, do you have it?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin looked at his space ring, a bit silent.
During his previous seclusion for cultivation, all his Spirit Stones had been exhausted.
Now, he only had a few Materials and an Evil Slayer.
Seeing Ye Lin’s expression, Li Youwei’s lips curved upwards, then she looked at the space ring on Ye Lin’s finger.
"Your space ring is quite good; its value is probably around one thousand two hundred Medium-Grade Spirit Stones."
"But a space ring doesn't count, you know."
"Looking at you, I suppose you don't have a thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones, do you?"
Li Youwei slowly squatted in front of Ye Lin, her fingers moving slightly, and a small box appeared before Ye Lin.
Li Youwei slowly opened the small box, and immediately, an extremely rich Spiritual Qi filled the entire room.
Inside the small box, a full box of Medium-Grade Spirit Stones was placed.
"Here are a thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones. I can lend them to you, but you'll have to agree to one more condition. How about it?"
After Li Youwei finished speaking, Ye Lin took a deep look at Li Youwei.
To be able to casually produce a thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones, the young lady in front of him was not simple, extremely not simple.
Even a Nascent Soul Stage Great Cultivator couldn't casually produce a thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones.
One Medium-Grade Spirit Stone is equivalent to one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones, so what was placed before him was a staggering one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones. What an enormous number this was.
"How about it?"
Li Youwei stared at Ye Lin, a smile playing on her lips.
To avoid unnecessary trouble, ever since arriving in Divine Sword City, Ye Lin had already put away his Nameless Mountain Outer Sect Disciple token.
And his cultivation had also been completely hidden by himself.
She didn't know his cultivation, nor did she know his identity.
So, why had the woman in front of him been pestering a stranger like him from yesterday until now?
What exactly was she after?
His only move was yesterday, when he defeated four Golden Core Stage Early Stage Cultivators with a single palm.
However, a Golden Core Stage Early Stage Prodigy could easily do that.
This was something Ye Lin had never been able to figure out.
He had already checked the woman's status panel; she had Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation.
So, by openly taking out a thousand Medium-Grade Spirit Stones in front of him, was she not afraid that he would immediately try to snatch them?
"Aren't you afraid I'll snatch them right now? Don't worry, with your Foundation Establishment Peak cultivation, you won't be able to stop me."
As he spoke, Ye Lin's expression turned fierce, and his entire Aura burst forth.
Li Youwei immediately felt immense pressure; the Aura of the Golden Core Stage made her extremely uncomfortable.
As long as Ye Lin made a move, she would immediately die by his hand.
Her eyes, however, were fixed on Ye Lin.
"I trust my judgment; you wouldn't do that."
After Li Youwei finished speaking, Ye Lin immediately retracted his entire Aura.
The woman in front of him was right; he indeed wouldn't do that.
Nameless Mountain had a rule that one should not kill people without reason. As the leading Righteous Path Sect of the Eastern Continent Human Clan, it naturally had corresponding Sect rules.
If one were to kill people without any reason, what would be the difference from a Demonic Sect?
"I agree."
The next moment, Ye Lin waved his hand and put the box full of Spirit Stones into his space ring.
It was still the same saying: agree first, then if necessary, go back on his word later.
"Where is the auction? Take me there."
Ye Lin stood up, hands behind his back, and walked out the door.
Li Youwei followed closely behind Ye Lin.
Although she couldn't clearly see Ye Lin's cultivation, from his Aura just now, she felt that Ye Lin only had Golden Core Stage Early Stage cultivation.
Although it was only Golden Core Stage Early Stage, it was enough for a bodyguard.
However, what she didn't know was that all of this was intentionally done by Ye Lin.
With just one more month of diligent cultivation, Ye Lin could enter the Golden Core Stage Late Stage.
By the time Divine Sword City fully opened in a month and a half, he would be able to enter the Golden Core Stage Late Stage.
"Follow me."
Walking out of the inn, Ye Lin followed behind Li Youwei.
The pedestrians around them were hurrying, as if all walking in one direction, and they too were heading in that direction.
Upon reaching their destination, Ye Lin looked up.
Before him stood a hundred-meter-tall building, circular in shape, appearing incredibly majestic.
On each floor of the building, three Golden Core Peak Cultivators stood guard, and with fifty floors, there were a total of one hundred and fifty Golden Core Peak Cultivators, looking extremely formidable.
If anyone dared to cause trouble here, their fate would clearly be very severe.
As for Cultivators of higher cultivation, they were not in this city at all.
It was as if someone had deliberately separated Golden Core Stage and Nascent Soul Stage Cultivators.
"Look, this is the auction venue."
Li Youwei pointed at the building in front of them, her face full of excitement.
Boom.
Just then, a loud bang came from the building in front of them, and the entire building began to slowly rotate.
A portal appeared at the bottom of the building, and at the top of the building stood a young man dressed in green robes.
"gentlemen, I am Li Xuanyuan. I warmly welcome all of you to the Dawn Auction House's auction."
"And now, I declare that this auction officially begins."
The young man held a folding fan, a smile on his face.
A gentle breeze brushed past, his robes fluttering, making him appear like an immortal banished from heaven.
"It's Young Master Xuanyuan, he's so handsome, so mature, I love him so much!"
"Young Master Xuanyuan, I am willing to be your Dao Companion! Young Master Xuanyuan, look at me, I am willing to bear your Legacy!"
"Young Master Xuanyuan, look at me!"
Watching the female Cultivators around them look at Li Xuanyuan with fanaticism, Ye Lin secretly shook his head.
It seemed that no matter where, there was no shortage of such crazy fans.
As Li Xuanyuan's words fell, figures began to walk towards the building.
And many figures simply stood there quietly watching.
Because they were not qualified.
Firstly, they had no invitation, and secondly, they lacked the substantial family fortune.
"Let's go, Ye Lin, let's go in and see. You know, this is my first time here too."
Li Youwei pulled Ye Lin's arm, running forward with excitement.
Upon reaching the portal, Li Youwei took out her invitation and, after displaying her family fortune, the two successfully entered the giant building.
The center of the giant building was hollow, and in mid-air, there was a huge platform.
The space inside was enormous, with seats arranged all around.
The seats rose from low to high, forming a circle around the central platform.
And at the highest point of the giant building, there were rooms that looked extremely noble.
"Let's go, Ye Lin, we'll go to that private room."
Li Youwei pulled Ye Lin, bypassing various seats, and walked directly towards the private rooms at the highest point.
In a short while, the two picked a private room that looked extremely secluded and walked in.
From the window, the entire scene within the giant building was clearly visible.
"So many people! This is my first time seeing such a lively scene."
Li Youwei leaned against the window with both hands, craning her neck to look down.
Her giant sword, meanwhile, was placed to the side.
