"Oh, I see." Yingzi pouted slightly.

"Please wait here for a moment, the young lady is on her way."

Uncle Su nodded at the two of them and instructed a servant to pour tea before leaving.

"Yingzi, Lin..." A moment later, as Lin Mo and Yingzi sat on the sofa, a clear and pleasant voice was heard, though the person remained unseen.

Inside the villa, the breeze was elegant and serene, and the corridors were winding.

"Master."

As soon as Su Wen stepped into the villa, she called softly.

"Don't you know I don't like noise? I'm in the quiet room, come over."

An elderly voice suddenly sounded as if it were whispering right into their ears.

"Understood, Master." Su

Wen looked a little embarrassed, stuck out her tongue, and said, "Mr. Lin, let's go see my master."

"Okay." Lin

Mo nodded, following Su Wen along a winding stone path, across a small wooden bridge, and arrived at the entrance of an ancient-styled quiet room.

"Come in." From within the quiet

room, the same elderly voice was heard.

Su Wen pushed the door open, and Lin Mo and Yingzi followed her inside.

The quiet room was quite spacious, with a long pear wood table on which a set of crystal-clear jade artifacts was arranged. A unique fragrance filled the room, invigorating anyone who entered.

Behind the long table, sat an elderly man with white hair and beard, his eyes gently closed, exuding a transcendent, ethereal aura. On the wall behind him hung a calligraphy painting bearing a single word, "Tao," and upon closer inspection, one could perceive a peculiar charm within it.

"Lin Mo, greets Elder Qiong Long." Lin

Mo cupped his hands and greeted politely.

The elderly man, whose eyes were closed, slowly opened them, a white light flashing within his pupils. He frowned slightly and said, "Young man, who's this Qiong Long Taoist? Perhaps you have mistaken someone else?"

Standing aside, Su Wen respectfully said, "Master, these two are my friends. It was thanks to their help in Snow City that I could see you again."

"Oh, so you are the friends Su Wen mentioned that she met in Snow City?" The elderly man said indifferently.

"Elder, perhaps you recognize this?" Lin

Mo took out the wooden token, wrapped in spiritual energy, and let it float towards the elderly man.

"Hmm, the Black Wood Token? How did you come by this?" Seeing

the token, the elderly man's expression slightly changed, and he asked.

"This token was given to me by Shen Qianlong to find Daoist Qiong Long, so I assume you must be him." Lin Mo spoke with burning eyes.

"Ah, so he's my junior." The

elderly man grasped the token, a faint smile appearing on his face. "I haven't seen my junior in a long time. I once promised him that if anything happened, he could give this token to someone, and they could come find me. Is the Shen Family in trouble?"

"The Shen Family is fine; I just have a matter I wish for the elder's assistance." Lin

Mo said calmly. Lin

Mo then relayed his intentions and matters to Daoist Qiong Long, eager to collect what he needed and refine the Soul Condensing Pill, hiding nothing.

"An advanced auction? Pure materials of water or gold attribute; the things you seek are not simple." The elderly man said slowly.

"Elder, I just want to know who possesses these two pure attribute materials."

Lin Mo stated bluntly. No

matter if he had to buy or seize them by force, he had to obtain these two items. "

The advanced auction hasn't started yet; you have good timing," the elderly man said slowly.

"What, the advanced auction hasn't started yet?" Lin Mo widened his eyes in surprise at the elderly man's words.

"Originally, this auction should have taken place three years ago, but a mysterious island emerged in the Pacific Ocean back then, drawing many powerful figures. As a result, the auction was postponed for three years."

The elderly man explained slowly.

"The Pacific Ocean, a mysterious island?" Lin Mo frowned to himself, suspecting that it might be an ancient ruin or treasure that had appeared; otherwise, the emergence of such a mysterious island would be unlikely. But

none of this mattered to him, as long as the advanced auction had not yet taken place, it was good news for him. The

advanced auction took place once in a century, sometimes even two to three centuries, so waiting three more years was nothing. "

Since my junior sent you to find me, you shall accompany me to the advanced auction in three days, and I will fulfill the promise I made back then," the elderly man said.

"Thank you, elder." Lin Mo cupped his hands.

"Su Wen, take them to rest in the villa." The elderly man instructed.

"Alright, Mr. Lin, Yingzi, please follow me." Su Wen nodded, leading Lin Mo and Yingzi out of the quiet room.

After leaving the quiet room, Su Wen said with a smile, "I'll arrange for two rooms for you both, and in three days, we'll accompany Master to the advanced auction."

"Sister Su Wen, your master seems very..." Yingzi scrunched her little face, stopping mid-sentence.

"You mean Master seems quite cold?" Su Wen asked, then immediately said, "Actually, Master's personality is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a kind heart. Yet, over the years, he's become somewhat eccentric."

"He's been stuck in the Late-stage Condensation for a hundred years, unable to find a breakthrough method, which surely makes anyone a bit eccentric." Lin

Mo said casually as he strolled.

"Huh, Mr. Lin, how do you know?" Su Wen blinked her eyes. If it weren't for her being a direct disciple, she wouldn't know her master's cultivation difficulties.

"Just by looking." Lin Mo said indifferently. Su

Wen pouted her lips. Back in Snow City, she had already found Lin Mo to be quite mysterious; he shattered the strongest War General Oli from the War Axe Mercenary Corps with a single slap. Even after falling into the treacherous Seven-Colored Ice Cave, he managed to come out unscathed.

Only, Su Wen noticed that Lin Mo was just at the Middle Stage Innate Realm but possessed such strength, implying he must have a high-level cultivation method or heavy treasure. Just

three years later upon meeting again, she found Lin Mo's aura more obscured, making it impossible to see through him. Now

that he had fused with the Demon Cold Flame, this unique treasure had already elevated his soul strength beyond that of a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. Even when probing Daoist Qiong Long's cultivation, the other party couldn't detect it.

"Junior Sister..." The

three of them were walking inside the villa when suddenly a voice filled with surprise called from ahead.

"Yu Wen Yuan..."

Looking at the source of the voice, they saw a young man dressed in casual attire, with charming manners, walking toward them. However, Su Wen couldn't help but frown.

"Junior Sister, how come you came to Master's place without informing me? If it weren't for Junior Brother telling me, I wouldn't have known." The young man approached, flashing a brilliant smile. From his appearance, he seemed to be a Huaxia person.

The wonderful story continues tomorrow.
