Thinking back to a month ago at the pavilion, if Lin Mo had been a bit rougher, both his father and he would have been reduced to dust, and the Shen Family probably wouldn't have dared to utter a word.

"People can't be compared with each other!" Shen Guanyang silently consoled himself.

"Where's the Shen Ancestor?"

Lin Mo glanced around, not seeing Shen Qiankun.

"Mr. Lin, ever since the ancestor returned from Hunter Valley, he has been in seclusion, trying to break through," Shen Tailai respectfully said.

"I see!"

Lin Mo slightly nodded.

Shen Qiankun had been stuck in the mid-stage of Condensation for a long time without progressing. After returning from Hunter Valley, he went into seclusion, clearly having obtained some treasures there.

As they were chatting, suddenly a blazing white beam shot up to the clouds from the back of the Shen Family's Manor.

A vast stream of spiritual energy poured out, spreading over dozens of kilometers, and a powerful aura surged forth, putting great pressure on everyone in the Shen Family.

Only Lin Mo remained calm, looking at the white pillar of light and smiling: "It seems the Shen Ancestor has broken through!"

No sooner had he spoken than a light shadow flashed across the night sky from behind the Shen Family's Manor, landing at the entrance.

A head of silver hair, a white Tang suit, an ethereal demeanor, leaving a white beard, with a radiant face.

"Congratulations to the Shen Ancestor for exiting seclusion!"

"Congratulations to the Shen Ancestor for exiting seclusion!"

"Congratulations to the Shen Ancestor for exiting seclusion!"

Shen Tailai, Second Young Master Shen, and the members of the Shen Family all showed excitement, their voices resounding like thunder.

The reason the Shen Family held their current status in Australia was due to the Shen Family Ancestor. The ancestor had remained in the mid-stage of Condensation for two hundred years without breaking through. If he had passed away, the Shen Family's status would have dropped significantly.

This time, with Shen Qiankun breaking through to the late-stage of Condensation, the Shen Family's status was solidified once more, even elevated a notch.

Shen Qiankun nodded slightly, as if basking in a spring breeze. Upon seeing Lin Mo, he slightly cupped his hands and bent his waist, "Mr. Lin, you are here. I have been in seclusion breaking through, unable to greet you immediately, forgive my omission."

"Shen Ancestor, you are too kind," Lin Mo said with a faint smile.

"Mr. Lin, please come inside!"

Shen Qiankun stepped aside. Reaching his level, he understood the importance of strength more and more. Although the Shen Family seemed powerful, in front of Lin Mo, it was likely that the latter could annihilate them with a finger.

Lin Mo walked into the manor.

After speaking a few words alone with Shen Qiankun, it appeared that Shen Qiankun had also gained some opportunities and treasures in Hunter Valley, but Lin Mo didn't ask much.

After all, back then, he took away the Earth Soul Orb and agreed to distribute the other treasures among the Shen Family and Frank, among others.

"Shen Ancestor, I have something to ask you."

Lin Mo sat on a wooden chair in the hall.

In the hall, only Shen Tailai, Second Young Master Shen, and a few of the important figures of the Shen Family were present, while junior disciples like Shen Guanyang didn't even have the qualification to enter.

Beside him, a young girl in a green dress held a teapot, her slender fingers like green onions, poured tea for Lin Mo's cup, then stepped back, her beautiful eyes shimmering with light as she looked at Lin Mo.

This girl was Shen Zongwen.

"Oh? What is it that Mr. Lin wants to ask?" Shen Qiankun asked with slight curiosity.

Given Lin Mo's strength, Shen Qiankun was certain that Lin Mo was a disciple of some super sect on a training journey, with vast knowledge. What matter could he possibly need to ask him about?

Lin Mo picked up the teacup, took a light sip, and asked: "I want to inquire about the advanced auction, does Shen Ancestor know anything about it?"

Currently, Lin Mo was only missing the treasures of the gold attribute and water attribute, and without other leads, he could only try to find out about the advanced auction.

The Shen Family was a cultivation family in Australia, especially with Shen Qiankun having cultivated for hundreds of years; he could be considered at the level of an old monster, so he might have heard about the advanced auctions.

"Mr. Lin is interested in attending an advanced auction?" Shen Qiankun asked with slight surprise.

"Oh, Shen Ancestor, you know about it?"

Lin Mo put down the teacup, showing interest.

"Yes, I know about the advanced auction. My senior brother and I attended once, but that was three hundred years ago," Shen Qiankun slowly said.

"To enter the advanced auction, an entry ticket is required. Without it, one wouldn't even know where the auction is held. But with the Shen Family's current strength, we are not qualified to obtain such a ticket."

Lin Mo frowned: "Doesn't that mean there's no way to know where the auction is held?"

"Well..." Shen Qiankun hesitated for a moment and said: "But I can try to contact my senior brother and see if he knows."

"Alright, thank you, Shen Ancestor." Lin Mo cupped his fists in gratitude, his face lighting up with joy.

"However, I haven't been in touch with my senior brother for a long time, so it will take some time. But every auction happens after the start of spring, and I will notify Mr. Lin then," Shen Qiankun promised.

"Great."

…

The Carrot Family was only thirty kilometers away from the Shen Family, able to see the Shen Family's white beam like a rainbow piercing the sky.

Donald stood on the villa balcony, heaving a heavy sigh.

"Dad, didn't you also obtain many treasures in Hunter Valley? Our Carrot Family will one day surpass the Shen Family," Huozi said, standing by his father, clenching his fists with eyes full of burning determination.

The Carrot Family and the Shen Family had always been on equal standing in Melbourne, but with Shen Qiankun's breakthrough, they were now overshadowed by the Shen Family.

"Surpassing the Shen Family isn't difficult, but surpassing Lin Mo is too hard!" Donald sighed, his face full of infinite regret and longing.

Huozi was startled at his words, the determination in his eyes extinguishing, leaving only deep despair; he had personally witnessed Lin Mo annihilate the Red Demon with a single punch. "Tomorrow, join me for a meal and offer an apology to the Shen Family!" Donald said with a frown.

In the back garden of the Shen Family's Mountain Villa, the shadows of trees swayed, casting slanted lines on the shallow water.

Rectangular green stone slabs paved the path, with soft green grass growing between the gaps. Two figures strolled along it.

Sitting down in a pavilion, Lin Mo held a cup of tea placed on the stone table, drank a cup, and looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

The stars were like brocade, but under the backdrop of the bright moon, they became insignificant.

"I wonder how Meng Die and Mom and Dad are doing now."

Lin Mo took a sip of the clear tea, the corners of his mouth curling up in a smile. The ancients often expressed longing with the moon, something Lin Mo once dismissed, but now he greatly felt the yearning of gazing at the moon and missing home.

"Mr. Lin, are you leaving Australia tomorrow?"

Across the stone table sat a woman with a delicate appearance, bathed in moonlight that made her face and skin look even more coldly beautiful, her long-lashed eyes blinking as she gazed at Lin Mo.

"Yes, I've been out for a long time, it's time to go back and see," Lin Mo nodded, putting down the teacup with a smile.

This smile brought a sense of infinite sadness and melancholy to Shen Tong's heart.

"Yes, if the ancestor contacts his senior brother, I will definitely inform you right away," Shen Tong gently nodded, lowering her eyes, her heart filled with a slight sourness.
