The Coral Palace, beneath its grand hall, concealed by countless formations.
As the Golden Core cultivators ca to recount the events of the transaction eting, Xue Shan True Monarch appeared montarily puzzled upon hearing this.
"Is this a ploy to rally under a great banner?"
Xue Shan True Monarch was uncertain about the Lin Family’s intentions.
But they had co to demand benefits from the Lin Family and to observe whether Lin Shiming had truly broken through.
They certainly wouldn’t assist the Lin Family in territorial disputes.
The Outer Sea territory was practically only useful for the Lin Family.
Others might use the Transmission Formation, but it would amount to guarding the Lin Family’s portal.
No matter how abundant the resources, they were of no use to them.
"Pay no heed, observe others’ actions, then say Chi Shan True Person is undergoing a breakthrough, that the Zhao Family of Coral Island currently lacks sufficient manpower, but can promote other True Persons or forces to act!" Xue Shan True Monarch finally spoke.
The True Person nodded imdiately.
...
Nine Dragon Palace, Nine Dragon True Monarch, at this mont invited Xue Sha Demon Lord into the palace hall.
The two were drinking Spiritual Wine together.
Nine Dragon True Monarch looked towards the latter:
"Daoist Xue Sha, are you aware the Lin Family has grown closer to Myriad Buddhas Island?"
"This matter, I was unaware, but this lord feels, Daoist Nine Dragon should now set aside past resentnts!"
"If I’m not mistaken, the Lin Family’s actions seem to bear traces of the Sea Demon King Court!" Xue Sha Demon Lord drank the crimson wine in one go, leaving the bronze wine goblet.
His gaze was extrely sincere.
Nine Dragon True Monarch appeared very calm, as if not surprised by Xue Sha Demon Lord’s reaction.
After all, the Lin Family’s current strength is not inferior to other forces.
They possess two Nascent Souls, and Lin Shiming is ready to beco Nascent Soul at any mont.
Lin Shijie is close as well, confronting such a power, unless they fully ally with Myriad Buddhas Island, Xue Sha Demon Lord would not face off with them.
"Daoist Xue Sha, do you know on Myriad Demon Island, besides the Demonic Beast Clan, which is the most formidable clan?" Nine Dragon True Monarch wore a face full of confidence.
As he spoke, he took out a Jade Slip, which landed in Xue Sha Demon Lord’s hand.
The next mont, the Jade Slip was instantly grasped and crushed by Xue Sha Demon Lord.
Nine Dragon True Monarch remained silent, and so did Xue Sha Demon Lord.
Both grew quiet, the atmosphere becoming rather eerie.
"No more drinking!" After a long while, Xue Sha Demon Lord spoke, and promptly took his leave.
Nine Dragon True Monarch, seeing the other’s deanor, realized that the group of Golden Thunder Bamboo wood spirits made Xue Sha Demon Lord apprehensive.
But the fact that he left directly, Nine Dragon True Monarch did not anticipate.
However, he did not stop him. Everyone was bound by the Southern Immortals Alliance agreent, unable to violate it, but could remain passive at crucial monts.
In his view, Coral Island wouldn’t exert effort during the beast tide either, reducing Nascent Soul combat strength by half.
If Shuangmu Island is breached, then Lin Shiming would naturally fail to break through.
Failing Nascent Soul is unlike others; even if Lin Shiming possesses sufficient longevity, he would suffer a great loss of vitality, unable to recover within a century.
After a hundred years, he doesn’t believe those Soul Summoning Swords will continue to stay on Shuangmu Island.
Then, the Lin Family will be ripe for exploitation.
Without Nascent Soul True Monarch combat strength, the Southern Immortals Alliance agreent is likely already void.
...
Tianliu Palace, Tianliu True Monarch also looked at Zhao Yulin and Zhao Fuling.
The three exchanged glances.
"Master, we should join; more territory would benefit us!" Zhao Fuling eventually spoke.
"Yes, Daoist Lin and we are in alliance!" Tianliu True Monarch looked at Zhao Fuling, then spoke.
...
At this mont, in various palaces, all True Monarchs received the news.
Each one’s expression resembled Xue Shan True Monarch.
All assud a stance of observation.
After all, Lin Shiming invited them to share in the spoils, not to help expand the territory.
And sure enough, on the day of Lin Shijie’s cooperative expansion, the results were minimal.
Besides Tianliu True Monarch and Tianliu Island, there was only Qian Ji Island and Red Leaf Island.
Even the Coral Alliance’s inner islands did not join.
"Shiming predicted accurately, even regarding which Golden Cores would participate!" Lin Shijie and Lin Houshou at this mont were in the main hall on Redwood Island.
The two were not discouraged by the actions of the various forces.
As this was rely a pretense for the various forces.
When the demonic beasts besiege the city, all True Monarchs must aid imdiately.
Even if a few are missing, the Lin Family can endure it.
"For the auction, Yanjiao must prepare thoroughly; it must not go wrong. The family is offering so many treasures; they must establish the fact of being a Nascent Soul Family!" Lin Houshou spoke again.
Lin Shiming nodded.
The two communicated to Lin Yanjiao and Lin Yanqing.
...
As ti passed, another three days elapsed, and the entire Lin Family’s expansion alliance made little progress.
However, the auction was already nearing.
In front of the enormous auction venue, countless cultivators surged into the massive auction hall.
And surprisingly, the Lin Family had waived the auction entry fee.
As long as one was a Foundation Establishnt cultivator, they could enter for free.
While Qi Cultivators only needed to pay a symbolic Spirit Stone, but the spots were limited.
Ultimately, the entire auction hall held a full seven thousand people.
Among them, there were three thousand eight hundred cultivators above Foundation Establishnt, and only three thousand two hundred Qi Cultivators.
And among them, there were two hundred seventy-five Purple Mansion cultivators, and sixty Golden Core cultivators attending.
Yet, no Nascent Souls participated.
But this did not hinder the auction from reaching the scale and level of a sixth-rank auction.
Moreover, with nearly no Spirit Stone expenditure, the auction gained fa instantly.
"Welco to the auction hosted by the Lin Family, also, welco to Redwood Island!" Lin Yanjiao stepped onto the high platform, dressed in a crimson long skirt, with exquisite beauty and enchanting eyes.
Instantly becoming the focus of the entire auction hall.
Of course, Lin Yanjiao’s renown in the Redwood Archipelago was not insignificant.
She was also the previous Family Head of the Lin Family.
"The rules of today’s auction are like those of all auctions: the highest bidder wins. Moreover, every winning bidder will enjoy a complintary feast at the Lin Family Tavern!"
As Lin Yanjiao spoke again.
The crowd imdiately turned frenzied.
The scale of the Lin Family Tavern feast was not small.
Even the simplest Spiritual Dish might cost several hundred Spirit Stones.
And the Lin Family hosting the auction offers a complintary feast upon winning, naturally attracting substantial attention from nurous cultivators.
This was unprecedented in auctions!
Seeing the auction’s uproar, Lin Yanjiao smiled radiantly.
Clapping her hands, a beautiful female cultivator beside her brought forth a spiritual tray.
"The first item up for auction today is a single Fortune Longevity Fruit, granting a five-year lifespan extension, with a starting bid of one hundred Interdiate Grade Spirit Stones, with each increase not less than five Interdiate Grade Spirit Stones!" Lin Yanjiao introduced!
