The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "The Star Lord wanted to find a place to retreat, but no matter where he looked, he was always disturbed by the mortal world, so he thought of creating such a place himself.
But unfortunately, before he could use it, he died, which is really a pity. Actually, I entered this place voluntarily because I believe the Star Lord will return someday."
Ling Zhenfei was speechless; now he finally understood and asked, "Are you saying between you and the Star Lord?"
The Peach Blossom Fairy shook her head and said, "At that time, countless people admired the Star Lord; I was just a small part among them. The Star Lord saw me as a sister. I adored him immensely, so I willingly entered this Secret Realm to live the life the Star Lord wanted."
Ling Zhenfei nodded and said, "But in that room of yours?"
In the Peach Blossom Fairy's room, there was a mechanism, a time void. If outsiders entered, everything would be swallowed by the time void.
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Actually, that is just a protective item gifted to me by the Star Lord. Otherwise, how would I not be swallowed upon entering?"
Ling Zhenfei realized, yes, the Peach Blossom Fairy is definitely not an ordinary person. At that time, Northern Spiritual Energy was abundant, and the energy within this space was very sufficient, making it an excellent place for cultivation.
Moreover, the time within this space is much shorter than outside, so it's very possible the Peach Blossom Fairy is a powerful Spiritual Cultivator, just concealing her energy.
However, last time when Ling Zhenfei saved the Peach Blossom Fairy in the forest, even those wild beasts were too much for her to handle, so how could she be a formidable cultivator?
Ling Zhenfei analyzed, this could very likely be because Ling Zhenfei was about to discover the secret at the riverbed, and that's when he heard the Peach Blossom Fairy's cry for help.
If the Peach Blossom Fairy indeed was a master, then that cry for help was probably to catch Ling Zhenfei's attention and prevent him from discovering the riverbed's secret.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm truly grateful; if not for you, I might have died last time. Thankfully, you didn't let me enter that room."
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "Whether you live or die, it's up to me."
Ling Zhenfei joked, "Suddenly, I feel this place is quite scary after all."
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "This place was created by the Star Lord; it can be said to be very powerful. If you say it's real, then it is real; if you say it's fake, then it is fake, but it's definitely not that simple."
Ling Zhenfei said, "So, does the Fairy want to leave now? If you do, I can take you out."
The Peach Blossom Fairy said, "I still don't want to leave. I've become quite accustomed to it here. Honestly, being alone here for a long time is indeed a bit dull, but likely it's because no one has been speaking for a long time.
You don't need to bring anything for me, just come and keep me company often in the future, that's not too much to ask, right?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course not. I'm already planting trees here, so I'll definitely come often in the future."
Ling Zhenfei suddenly thought of his Lightning Bird. The Lightning Bird is a living being and cannot be placed in Di Tian Shen Sui, but it can be placed in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.
However, there is a tricky aspect to the Peach Blossom Secret Realm: it's hard to leave once you've entered, like now, Ling Zhenfei has to fight his way out.
After dinner, Ling Zhenfei bid farewell to the Peach Blossom Fairy and, after a relatively easy battle, left.
It was relatively easy because Ling Zhenfei had experience from last time, and his Dragon Tooth Dagger inherently had a suppressive effect on such creatures.
Even though Ling Zhenfei was injured, thanks to his Dragon Tooth Dagger, he crossed the river quite effortlessly.
Back in the real world, Ling Zhenfei's phone rang. It was a call from Chen Qian.
Ling Zhenfei quickly answered the call, and Chen Qian said, "What happened? Something doesn't seem quite right."
Ling Zhenfei asked, "What's going on?"
Chen Qian said, "Isn't it tonight's auction? People are now buying tickets at high prices; what's happening?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed, as he had anticipated this situation all along.
Now, those wealthy folks must have already gotten wind of the news, news that Ling Zhenfei intentionally leaked out, so the auction tickets have become extremely sought after.
Ling Zhenfei said, "I know what's going on. Where are you now? Let's meet and talk."
The two set a time and place to meet. In the afternoon, around three or four o'clock, Ling Zhenfei and Chen Qian met.
After explaining the situation, Chen Qian laughed heartily and said, "You indeed have a good brain, coming up with this idea."
Ling Zhenfei was very pleased by Chen Qian's praise and said, "You know, it suddenly came to me, but now it seems like an excellent idea."
Chen Qian said, "But doing this poses a problem; many restaurant owners won't be able to attend."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Wanting to sell their tickets for a little money, such a company won't get far, won't really progress, so it's best they don't come."
Chen Qian laughed and said, "That's true. Wealthy owners would pay just to see what's being auctioned."
The thoughts of Ling Zhenfei and Chen Qian aligned; it's why their relationship is so good.
Liang Re drove with a group to the auction house. They needed many things as they were the protagonists this time.
At the very least, they should have someone to carry the dishes, right?
Very soon, they arrived at the auction house entrance, where Ling Zhenfei's Divine Sense detected Xiao Sa conducting a live broadcast from afar.
Xiao Sa might be the most dedicated streamer Ling Zhenfei has ever seen; whenever he sees him, Xiao Sa is always streaming.
Xiao Sa had a backpack filled with giant power banks that kept his many phones streaming continuously for a day.
Ling Zhenfei sent Xiao Sa a message, and soon Xiao Sa turned off the broadcast and ran over.
Upon seeing Ling Zhenfei, Xiao Sa looked very excited and said, "Sorry, brother, thank you, thank you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "No need to thank me; we're old friends."
Though it was just a simple sentence, it was enough to make Brother Xiao Sa deeply grateful.
There aren't many whom Ling Zhenfei regards as friends, so Brother Xiao Sa felt incredibly honored.
Led by Ling Zhenfei, the group entered the premises.
The auction house owner, of course, knew Ling Zhenfei. Ma Long must have instructed them, so even if they were unfamiliar at first, either searched online or anticipated this.
Once inside, Ling Zhenfei quickly spotted the issue. This Ma Long sure knew how to play; the entire interior's advertisements had been revamped, taken over by a certain mobile phone manufacturer.
