The Protagonist Is in the Right Position to Get Along With the Villain

Mu Yanji was confused and wanted to ask something, but Li Jinzhi stood up from his seat first and nodded politely to the woman opposite him, "We are also a little interested in this auction. I wonder if you can show us the way?"

Hearing this, the woman looked at them with her beautiful eyes, and then nodded in agreement. "Of course. I heard that there will be a cultivation method to improve Divine Sense in this auction, so many senior brothers in the Bearing Essence period will participate. Maybe one or two elders in the Yuanying period will also participate." Mu Yanji's eyes flashed with expectation, as if she was looking forward to seeing so many high-level cultivators.

She, who was still looking forward to it, did not see that when she mentioned the cultivation method that could strengthen one's divine sense, Ye Yu, who was still sitting in his seat, suddenly raised his head to look at Li Jinzhi. His mouth moved slightly as he sent a sound transmission over, "According to what I know, divine sense is something that is innately formed and will gradually grow as one's transcendence energy increases. However, I have never heard of anyone being able to rely on cultivation methods to cultivate divine sense."

Li Jinzhi was also excited when he heard the woman's words. At this time, when he heard Ye Cheng's voice transmission, he replied with a slightly changed expression, "The Green Flame Country is vast and rich in resources. There are many powerful figures, and the cultivation methods in the ancient books are far beyond the imagination of cultivators like us who come from a remote place in the extreme north."

Ye Yu seemed to have understood something when he heard this, and he nodded and seemed to be lost in thought as he said, "That's natural. Merely in terms of territory, this Green Blaze Country is more than five times larger than the extreme north. There are countless large and small cultivation sects, and there are countless paradises and dangerous places. It's truly something to look forward to."

Li Jinzhi's cold eyes flashed a few times, and there was an inexplicable eagerness in his heart. Since he came to this world, he had always been wary of the villain and the heroine. At this time, he had made a Taoist companion agreement with the villain, so the knot in his heart was naturally gone.

However, if he wanted to go further with the other party, he had to make the most of it.

Ye Cheng had been staring at the young man's face all this time, so he naturally noticed that the young man's gaze had gradually become firm and resolute. His heart trembled slightly, and an indescribable throbbing surged into his heart. Even though he knew that the young man's heart of cultivation had always been firm and tenacious, at this moment, besides the yearning for the Great Dao in his eyes, there was an additional sense of determination to obtain it.

Just as she was looking at his eyes with infatuation, she heard Li Jinzhi's voice. "If you really want to be with me forever, the only way is to achieve the supreme Great Dao. The future is fraught with danger. Are you willing to walk with me?"

Although it was a question, the other party's tone was abnormally firm, as if he didn't think that he would hear a contradictory answer.

Ye Cheng's scarlet eyes dimmed slightly as he gazed at the magnificent scenery in the mountains outside the teahouse. He replied with unusual firmness, "Of course I'm willing. Even if I'm in the Domain, I'll stick to my beliefs. In the Domain, I won't dare to forget."

Li Jinzhi nodded, but then he suddenly thought of the idea of starting a family and starting a career. Indeed, only when one had a family would one have the determination to start a career.

At this time, Mu Yanji was already sitting on the other side of the square square table, drinking a cup of spiritual tea served by the waiter. She was looking left and right at the two of them, and didn't interrupt them.

It was strange to say that although the two's expressions and postures didn't change at all, she felt that there was something more to them than just now.

Ye Cheng and Li Jinzhi slowly perceived the changes in their state of mind, while Mu Yanji sipped her spiritual tea intermittently. The three of them didn't say anything. Mu Yanji saw that the tea had reached its end.

She looked up at the sky again, then stood up and said, "It's almost time. The three of us should go to the auction house now."

Li Jinzhi and Li Jinzhi naturally didn't have any objections. They immediately stood up and followed the woman. The three of them left the teahouse one after another and slowly walked towards the north of the market square.

"Fellow Daoist Mu, the two of us usually cultivate in seclusion, so we don't know much about the trading house. What's the specific situation of the sect's auction?" Ye Cheng looked at the towering huge hall at the end of the market square and asked seemingly inadvertently.

Mu Yanji thought for a moment and frankly said, "This is the first time I'm participating in this auction. But according to my master, the auction is held once every fifty years. The treasures to be auctioned are mostly selected by the elders from the sect's secret storehouse, but a considerable number of them are found by other disciples when they go out and travel. They feel that they are not suitable for the auction, so they take them out to be auctioned by the sect in order to obtain spirit stones or other materials."

Speaking of this, the woman's tone carried a hint of yearning. She murmured, "I really want to cultivate to the Core Formation stage soon. Then I will have the strength to go out and travel."

The two silently following behind her knew that she was just talking to herself, so they didn't say anything. Instead, they secretly wondered how many people would compete for the Divine Sense cultivation method.

When they reached the end of the market square, they saw four large ancient characters engraved on a stone tablet. Behind the tablet stood a rather magnificent hall. Many disciples wearing the Thousand Clouds Sect's uniform entered and exited the hall with different expressions.

"Fellow Daoists, this is the place where the auction will be held. After you enter and pay the deposit, a steward will give you a magic tool to disguise your face. The security of the auction is naturally excellent. Then, this little sister will take her leave and enter first." After saying this, Mu Yanji didn't wait for the two to reply and stepped into the hall.

Li Jinzhi looked at the woman's back and understood her actions. Since she had a magic tool to disguise her face, it was naturally impossible for her to enter with them. After all, the three of them weren't familiar with each other and couldn't unscrupulously reveal their wealth in front of her.

After standing at the door for a moment, Ye Cheng slowly said, "Jingzhi, let's go in too?"

Li Jinzhi nodded slightly and walked up the stairs. As soon as he stepped into the hall, he saw a short and stout old man standing at the stairway inside. He was handing something to another person who looked like a disciple.

As they walked towards him, the old man seemed to notice that someone was walking towards him. He raised his head sharply and asked with a smile, "Young friends, are you also here to participate in the Thousand Clouds Auction?"

"Yes." Li Jinzhi nodded.

The old man nodded and didn't seem surprised. He took out two brown veils from his storage pouch and handed them to the two. "Two Concealing Veils and ten low-grade spirit stones."

Li Jin took the handkerchief and discovered that it was only the lowest grade concealment artifact. He then turned around to look at Ye Yu, only to see the latter nimbly pouring out spirit stones from his storage pouch and handing it over to him.

The old man put away the spirit stones and stepped aside to let them pass through the stairway behind him. He then turned his head to call the disciple behind him.

Li Jinzhi was the first to step up the stairs. He quietly put away the handkerchief in his hand, and two other gray handkerchiefs appeared in his hand. He handed one of them to Ye Yu, and without any hesitation, he poured his Spiritual Power into the black handkerchief. The black handkerchief immediately emitted a gray light, and wrapped around Li Jinzhi's body.
