Although the Lingyun School had successfully bought the Flowing Cloud Shuttle, and achieved their goal for coming to this auction, Ling Tian and the rest had worried looks on their faces. Ling Tian knew that this time, he had brought one hundred million Spirit Stones … besides the seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones that Lu Chen had bought for the Sun Essence Copper, it was not even one hundred million.

"Sect Leader Ling, the auction is over, why are you still sitting here?" Yun Feng walked over with a smile. From their expressions, he could tell that the one hundred and ten million spirit stones were being shouted out by them as they didn't bring that many spirit stones. Otherwise, based on his understanding of them, when Mu Xin said the auction was over, they would have already gone to the back to pick up the items on auction rather than sitting there foolishly.

"We want to wait for you to finish." Ling Tian forced out a smile as he spoke.

"Big brother Ling, you guys really can keep your cool. If it was me, I would definitely be the first one to take the Flowing Cloud Shuttle away from the back." Yao Feng Niang also saw the strange looks on Ling Tian and the others' faces as they walked over.

"Head senior brother, Sect Leader Yao is right. Let's go and retrieve our things early, so that others won't think too much about us." Lu Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Lu Chen's words, Ling Tian could only stand up and say, "Junior Martial Brother Lu is right. Let's go get our things."

Lin You Yuan and Yun Meng Tian looked at each other helplessly. They had already made their decision to give their treasures to the Cloudsoaring sect for the ten million spiritual stones. They could not allow anyone to mock them.

Ling Tian and the others walked towards the back. Ling Tian felt that every step he took was extremely difficult, but he could only remain calm due to face.

"Sect Leader Ling, wait for me. I will go with you. I also have a lot of things to take." Yun Feng could tell that Ling Tian was forcing himself to remain calm. Even though he knew that Lin You Yuan and Yun Meng Tian were Soul Formation cultivators, he had also brought two Soul Formation elders with him this time, so he was not afraid that Lin You Yuan and Yun Meng Tian would make things difficult for him.

"Big Brother Ling, the little sister from the Flowing Cloud Shuttle was too far away to see clearly. I want to go with you to the back and take a closer look at the one hundred and ten million immortal equipment. Would Big Brother Ling be willing?" Yao Feng Niang said with a smile.

"Sect Leader Yao, since you want to see us, how can we possibly refuse your honor? Please come at once." Lu Chen knew that Ling Tian was unable to remain calm right now, so he said this with a smile.

"This little brother looks really unfamiliar." Yao Feng Niang said with a smile. She could tell from the auction that Lu Chen had been calling out prices on behalf of the Cloudsoaring sect. He was the one who had helped the Cloudsoaring sect out of trouble just now, and as for Lu Chen's cultivation, she could tell at a glance that he was an Aurous Core stage cultivator. One must know that there were at least fifty Aurous Core stage disciples in the Lingyun Sect. However, even if they could come with Ling Tian and the rest, they would still follow Ling Tian's orders. Even the genius Xuan Yu did not dare to go beyond Ling Tian's orders when he came out.

"That's right, Sect Leader Ling still hasn't introduced him as a new Jindan Stage cultivator from the Lingyun Sect?" Yun Feng asked. He did not pay much attention to Lu Chen in the beginning, but now that Lu Chen's performance had become so eye-catching, he shifted his attention to Lu Chen.

Seeing Yao Feng Niang and Yun Feng both pointing their spears at him, Lu Chen felt a wave of regret in his heart. He also felt that his performance today was too eye-catching, but he had no choice but to respond back to Yun Feng and Yao Feng's words, "Disciple is a new rogue cultivator who has just joined the Cloudsoaring sect. Lu Chen said humbly.

"Sect Leader Yun, Sect Leader Yao, Junior Brother Lu, you've just joined our Cloudsoaring sect. Why are you so interested in him?" Ling Tian said with a smile.

"Yun Feng, Yao Feng Niang, do you two still want to go to the back to get the auctioned items? We're going now." He knew that the longer they stayed behind, the easier it would be for Lu Chen's talent to be discovered. Although he was unwilling to go back and be seen as a joke by the other sects, he had no choice but to go.

"Old man Lin, you still have such a fiery temper. Old man Yun Feng and Old man Lin are right. We still need to go to the auction to retrieve our items." A white-bearded old man beside Yun Feng said. This person was one of the God Transforming Elders of the Cloud Sky Sect, Gu Ya.

"Senior Lin is right. Sect Leader Ling, let's go quickly. If we go too late and the Treasure Yuan Tower thinks that it is because we don't have enough spirit stones, it would be bad if we delay for too long." Yun Feng said with a smile.

"Let's go." Ling Tian said with an unnatural expression.

Ling Tian, Yun Feng, and Yao Feng Niang brought their respective sect members to the back. When they reached the back, they discovered that there was already no one at the back of the Treasure Yuan Tower.

"Sect Leader Ling, Sect Leader Yun, you guys have come too late this time." Mu Xin said with a smile. After every auction, the people of the eight great sects would come here first to pick up the auction items, but this time, they would drag it out to the very end.

"Elder Mu, I was waiting for you, Sect Leader Ling. On the way, I chatted for a while and almost forgot to come to pick up the auction." Yun Feng said with a smile.

"It's like this. Which one of you will take the lead first?" Mu Xin asked.

"Sect Leader Yun, I'll take it first." Ling Tian said.

"It would be better if Sect Leader Ling came first. My items are more important and would take a lot of time." Yun Feng said with a smile. He wanted to see how Ling Tian would deal with this situation.

"Big Brother Yun is right, Big Brother Ling, you take the lead." Yao Feng Niang said with a smile.

"Alright." Ling Tian replied bitterly. "Elder Mu, how many Spirit Stones do we have in total for our auction items?" Ling Tian asked.

"A total of 107,000,000 spirit stones." Mu Xin said with a smile.

Helplessly, Ling Tian took out all the Spirit Stones in his storage ring and placed them on the table.

Mu Xin had his men settle the amount of Spirit Stones. About an hour later, the people from the Treasure Yuan Tower had calculated the total amount of Spirit Stones to one hundred million Spirit Stones. Hearing this, Mu Xin's face turned ugly, "Sect Leader Ling, why did you only pay a total of 100 million Spirit Stones?"

"If Sect Leader Ling does not have enough Spirit Stones, you should just give up on the Flowing Cloud Shuttle. It is not reasonable for such a large sect to not even have ten million and seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones." Yun Feng laughed as he looked at Ling Tian and the rest's embarrassed expressions.

"Sect Leader Yun is right. It would not be reasonable if he could not even afford one hundred and seven hundred thousand Spirit Stones." Lu Chen said with a smile. " However, Elder Mu, you have misunderstood our Sect Leader's intentions. Our Sect Leader wants to first take out a hundred million spirit stones for you to clear your debt before taking out that ten million and seven hundred thousand spirit stones. With that, Lu Chen took out 10.7 million spirit stones from his storage ring and placed it on the table. He smiled as he said, "Elder Mu, do you think that the number of spirit stones is correct?"

Seeing Lu Chen take out so many spirit stones, Mu Xin smiled and said, "Everyone, wait a moment. I'll have them settle their accounts."

The crowd waited for a little longer before they heard the person who had just cleared out from the Treasure Yuan Tower say, "Elder, it's exactly 10.7 million Spirit Stones."

"Sect Leader Ling, you can take your auction items now." Mu Xin said with a smile.

When Lu Chen took out those spirit stones, Ling Tian had been in a state of shock. Over 10 million spirit stones was an astronomical figure for ordinary cultivators; even some Nascent Soul stage rogue cultivators would find it difficult to take them out. However, the small cultivation family that Lu Chen came from probably had at most a few million spirit stones, which made him feel that Lu Chen was hiding something from them.

Ling Tian felt shocked, as did Lin You Yuan and Yun Meng Tian. At the same time, Lin You Yuan was shocked, he also felt a sense of defeat.

"Sect Leader Ling, you can now receive your auction items." Mu Xin saw the shock on Ling Tian's face as he repeated himself.

"Elder Mu, thank you." Ling Tian responded with a smile. At the same time, Ling Tian took the flying shuttle and the Sun Essence Copper from Mu Xin and placed them in his storage ring.

When Yun Feng saw that not only did Ling Tian not embarrass himself, but he actually obtained the Flowing Cloud Shuttle, his expression became extremely unsightly. He truly did not expect that Lu Chen would actually be able to take out so many spirit stones.

"Big brother Ling, since you've already taken away the Flowing Cloud Shuttle, I'll take my leave now." Yao Feng Niang saw that the situation wasn't developing in the direction she wanted, so she felt there was no need to stay, so she took her leave. Although she had thought of stopping the Cloudsoaring sect halfway through, looking at the Lingyun Sect's lineup and seeing herself as a Soul Formation cultivator, she had no choice but to give up this idea.

"Sect Leader Yun, we will take our leave first." Ling Tian said with a smile. Looking at Yun Feng's unsightly expression, the earlier gloominess and awkwardness dissipated, leaving only a moment of happiness.

"Sect Leader Ling, take care." Yun Feng said.

"Sect Leader Yun, don't worry. Your sister is waiting for us outside. This time, she also wants to go to our Cloudsoaring sect." Yun Mengtian said with a smile.

"Goodbye." After saying that, Ling Tian led Lin Youyuan and the other two away from the True Essence Pavilion.

The four of them walked out of the Treasure Yuan Tower and saw Daoist Master Yun Xian outside. Ling Tian smiled and said, "I'll be troubling you."

"Mm. Including us three Spirit Severing cultivators, they won't be able to touch you." Immortal Cloud said with a laugh. Before the auction had begun, Yun Meng Tian had made an agreement with Daoist Immortal Cloud to have Daoist Immortal Yun bring the immortal equipment back to the sect safely. After all, a group of three Spirit Severing Cultivators at the final level of the Nascent Soul Stage would not be easily trifled with.

"Junior brother Lu, where did you get so many spirit stones?" Ling Tian asked as he saw that they had already left the Treasure Yuan Tower.

"This is something that I had the luck to obtain from a Nascent Soul stage cultivator." Lu Chen said with a smile. He did not want to talk too much about being possessed. Even though it seemed that Lin You Yuan and the others valued him a lot, he was still unable to fully trust Lin You Yuan and the others right now.

Seeing Lu Chen's words, Ling Tian knew that Lu Chen was unwilling to speak the truth, so he could only stop pursuing the matter.

"Let's go back." With that, Ling Tian and the others flew towards the direction of the Cloudsoaring sect.

After Ling Tian and the rest left, Yun Feng and the others came out of the Treasure Yuan Tower. Looking at the direction they left in, Yun Feng coldly said, "Let's take advantage of them to snatch the Flowing Cloud Shuttle."

"Yun Feng, don't be rash! That Yun Meng Tian's words are obviously meant to warn us that they're three Soul Formation cultivators. Even if we go and rob them, we won't be able to snatch them away." Gorge said.

"Are we just going to watch as they get their immortal equipment?" Yun Feng said unwillingly.

"So what if we get immortal equipment? Does the Lingyun Sect still have a chance? We still have that one." A grey robed elder said coldly. He was also one of the Elders of the Cloud Sky Sect, and his name was Gan Yuan.

"Martial Uncle Gan, you're right. Your disciple is getting impatient." Yun Feng said respectfully.

"When you go back, remember to check that brat. I feel that there's something very wrong with having his spiritual roots concealed." Gan Yuan said.

"Disciple understands." A trace of viciousness flashed past Yun Feng's eyes.
