"Yes. I didn't expect her to have interest in Night Yin Flower too. I thought that she's cultivating Yang type of cultivation."

"Well, she's still a girl. Besides, she might need more Yin?"

The people around them began to gossip and Lin Xiao was listening with curiosity. He looked in the direction of the VIP room as a bizarre thoughts occurred inside his mind.

"Brother?" Lin Yun noticed that his brother was looking at him with strange gaze. He felt like his brother must be up to something not good again when he saw how Lin Xiao looked at him.

"Nothing."

Of course, Lin Xiao knew that what he was thinking was already too bizarre. If that person was truly like what it was said, he might not even have any chance to get close because of the difference in status. There was no need for him to make fun of himself just because of something like that.

He shook his head and just wondered about it.

"Do you have any interest in that Fiery Princess?" Sui Wenyan asked in low tone.

"Hmm?"

"Her name is Fan Ling, she's 17 years old this year but she had already reached Foundation Establishment. Amongst the younger generation, she's acclaimed as one of the best due to her achievement in cultivation alone. Oh right, her element is also fire, which is the source of her nickname."

Lin Xiao's lips twitched. Didn't fire belong to Yang type? However, there was no restriction for women to learn fire element either just like men could learn water element if they wanted to. After all, their talent was not something they could decide and only leave it up to the fate.

"12 Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

The other woman was not willing to give up either. She wanted the flower because of its useful use.

"13 Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

While the two women were still busy increasing the price, Lin Xiao felt that he was going to be filthy rich. The amount of Spirit Stones should be more than enough to help him reach the peak of Body Training Rank 10.

'Don't be too happy so soon.'

'Ah?'

'Increasing your power in such a short period of time can create backlash too,' Lin Hu said in deadpan tone. He looked at Lin Xiao with ridicule. 'Do you think that the young master from those families allowed their disciple to only train with spirit stones? They are only allowed to use it after their body strength had reached a certain point. Once they're deemed strong enough, they can use spirit stones as much as they want to reach the point that their parents had decided.'

Lin Xiao was stunned. He looked at the dragon inside his consciousness as he felt a bit trepidation. There was a saying that human's body was like a vessel and the Qi was like the water that was poured inside. Human needed to strengthen their body because without a strong vessel, the Qi couldn't be contained inside.

The process of strengthening their body became the name of the very first stage they had to pass: Body Training Stage.

When they reached Foundation Establishment, they were creating their foundation for their future. Because it was the foundation of their cultivation, many people willingly stayed in the same stage for as long as possible to make sure that they could grow even stronger.

Sui Wenyan was not an exception as she was constantly tempering her body. Before trying to breakthrough to Golden Core Stage, she had to make sure that her foundation was stable because if not, she would only kill herself due to her negliance.

'I'm not strong enough?'

'No. If you forcefully try to push yourself to Body Training Rank 10 peak stage, you will only harm your foundation. Temper your body in the forest and I'll tell you when you can absorb the Qi from the spirit stones.'

'Alright.'

Thinking about some decoction that was useful to increase one's strength, Lin Xiao decided to ask a bit more from Wenren Yu later. That way, he might be able to have shortcut for them to grow even stronger.

"15 Low Grade Spirit Stones!"

By now, no one was bidding anymore. Fan Ling, the fiery woman, managed to get the flower with high price. It was already far above the market price, yet there were still many girls who showed sorrowful expression.

They wanted to get that Night Yin Flower, ah.

Lin Xiao subconsciously rubbed his finger. To be exact, his Spatial Ring. If these women knew that he had more Night Yin Flower inside his Spatial Ring, he was sure that they would hunt him down and make sure that he gave all of his possession to them.

These women looked so scary.

The auction continued, but Lin Xiao and the rest didn't really have much interest in it. It was no longer had any relationship whatsoever with them. In fact, the price for the treasures were so high that only those powerful families could hope to contend for them in the auction.

"There are many influential families in Feng Yi City?" Lin Xiao asked in astonished tone.

Wenren Yu passed a glance and sighed. "I don't think all of them are from Feng Yi City. The auction is hold monthly, which give the auction house enough time to advertise the news to a certain distance. They might have come from a faraway place just for the auction."

"Really?"

"Treasures certainly hold a lot of temptation. The rarer it is, the harder it would be to get, the more people would want it. Many are willing to sacrifice a lot of their time just to be able to get them."

Lin Xiao solemnly nodded his head and then looked toward the stage. There were still many other treasures to go, but they couldn't participate. The price was already at hundreds of Low Grade Spirit Stones.

Even if he had the guts, he didn't have the capital.

These people were all filthy rich.
