Thud!

"That's better." Sui Wenyan looked at her masterpiece and nodded in satisfaction. 

Lin Xiao felt like crying but no tears came out. He was currently looked like a pig because of so many bruises on his face. Sui Wenyan truly didn't hold back in the slightest bit, wait, she did hold back, but she made sure that his face was completely bruised.

By now, he felt that he had lost his handsomeness.

"Brother, are you alright?"

"I need medicine. My handsome face is ruined," Lin Xiao said in aggrieved tone.

Sui Wenyan clicked her tongue. "You're not searching for work depending on your face. What's the use of you having handsome face?"

"I need to search for girls!"

"What do you need girls for, ah? You pervert!"

Bang!

With that, Lin Xiao got an additional bruise to his face. He could only look towards Sui Wenyan with bitter look, yet there was nothing that he could do more. The young woman would gladly beat him up if he even dared to speak another word to this violent girl.

He looked at Wenren Yu with annoyance. How come this timid boy ever got a crush on such violent girl? He was sure that Wenren Yu would become a henpecked husband should the two of them ever got together!

"You come back at very precise time. There'll be an auction tonight," Sui Wenyan commented.

Lin Xiao's ear perked up when he heard that. He grinned. "The reason why we come here is precisely because of the auction."

"Oh?"

"We want to visit the auction."

Sui Wenyan nodded. "Is there any items that interest you? The price for each item is quite expensive."

"We just want to take a look and probably figure out a method to buy Spirit Stone," Lin Xiao replied.

"Spirit stone? Which one?"

"Which one?"

Seeing Lin Xiao's perplexed look, Sui Wenyan realized that this brat didn't know the differentiation between each stone. She shook her head. "Spirit stone is categorized as Low Grade Spirit Stone, Middle Grade Spirit Stone, and High Grade Spirit Stone."

"The one at the price of 10 Liang of gold?"

"It's Low Grade Spirit Stone."

Lin Xiao furrowed his brows and looked Sui Wenyan with uncertainty. "How about the price of Middle Grade Spirit Stone?"

"10,000 Liang of Gold. In other words, 10 million of golds," Sui Wenyan replied calmly.

Counting the zero internally, Lin Xiao felt like screaming. Cultivation was truly a money burning occupation, ah. How in the world should he work to be able to earn that much? Even the price to kill that Bo Wu was only 5 Liang of Gold. It would only be enough to buy a half of Spirit Stone.

Not that there was anyone who would sell half of Spirit Stone.

By now, he had no intention to ask for the price of High Grade Spirit Stone anymore. It was useless for him to think so much about it.

Sui Wenyan looked at Wenren Yu doubtfully. "I thought you already know about this."

Wenren Yu's face turned red as he lowered his neck. His action looked as if he wished to bury himself deeper to the ground and disappeared. He felt thoroughly embarrassed because he honestly didn't know about it. He had never used Spirit Stone prior to meeting with Lin Xiao, so he had only heard about some of them.

"Forget it. Do you want to come with me to the auction?"

"You also have ticket?" Lin Xiao was surprised.

Sui Wenyan nodded. She looked at Wenren Yu and grinned. "Our senior is in Yue Yi Auction House, you know."

"What?"

Wenren Yu was stunned. He had visited Yue Yi Auction House not long ago, but he didn't know that there was actually someone from Taiyi Sect who managed to enter the sect. He looked at Sui Wenyan in bewilderment.

"Did you just arrive in Feng Yi City?"

"Well, we come here not long ago."

"Figures." Sui Wenyan waved her hand to fan her face. "Our senior is already past 20 years old but she's at Foundation Establishment Stage. Since she didn't have that much talent in cultivation, she just tried to sneak into the auction house to work and also to gain information."

The word information instantly triggered Lin Xiao's attention. He was curious what kind of information they have gathered so far.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Sui Wenyan was speechless. "Don't worry, she didn't really leak any important information that can put her life in danger. What she shares with me is just the details regarding the other successors."

Wenren Yu's eyes narrowed. He thought about Prince Lin Kai whom they met not long ago and felt a bit annoyed. "Including that prince before?"

"You mean Prince Lin Kai? Yeah, he's included, but his position in the list is not that high." Sui Wenyan snickered. "In fact, among the four princes, he's placed at the bottom because his IQ is low."

IQ low?

Lin Yun and Wenren Yu subconsciously looked towards Lin Xiao, effectively causing the latter's face to turn dark. They turned their face back to Sui Wenyan, but their little action didn't escape her eyes.

"Pfft! To think that there's someone else with low IQ here!"

"Sui Wenyan!"

Swish! Slash!

Sui Wenyan was startled to see Lin Xiao's action. Looking at the sword he held, her eyes narrowed slightly. "You're not bad, but if you want to fight against Foundation Establishment Cultivators, you have to be more daring."

"More daring?" Lin Xiao was stunned.

"Yep. If you're facing other cultivators, they won't be giving you enough time to prepare yourself." Sui Wenyan pointed at Lin Xiao's sword. "Your handling is still rough and you need time to take out your sword. Learn to summon your sword at any time and in any place near you so that you can take advantage of your opponent's weakness."

Lin Xiao looked at the sword then towards Sui Wenyan. "That's not possible."
