Chapter 256 Materials Acquired
Chi Ling's words infuriated Yun Fei and delighted Chi Yuan, who immediately put on a disguise and prepared to follow Lin Zhao to the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

However, after leaving the room with him, Lin Zhao intended to go her separate ways.

"I plan to go buy some things. Also, my relationship with the young princess in the Phoenix Medicine Sect isn't that good, so let's part ways here. Your Highness, please make yourself at home."

Just as Chi Yuan came out and wanted to say a few words to Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao quickly distanced himself from him, leaving him somewhat resentful: "Can't I just follow you?"

Lin Zhao thought this person was really inexplicable, but considering that the other party was, after all, a prince of the empire, and that she had previously misunderstood his relationship with Ji Wantang, she mustered a bit of patience: "No."

She was used to doing things alone, and besides, she and Chi Yuan were complete strangers. How could he be so confident that he allowed her to come along?
Chi Yuan was utterly rejected. The last spark of fire in his eyes went out, and he stood there dejectedly, watching Lin Zhao leave.

After parting ways with him, Lin Zhao went straight to the largest city near the Phoenix Medicine Sect and the largest auction house. After explaining that she wanted level nine cold wolf fur and meteorite, the price offered by the other party made Lin Zhao gasp.

Although she is now a wealthy woman, she still felt a pang of pain when she suddenly heard that she would have to spend so much money.

"Is this place under the Wuyou Auction House?"

The girl in charge of receiving Lin Zhao smiled and said, "Naturally, all the top auction houses in the Northwest Continent are affiliated with the Worry-Free Merchant Guild."

Lin Zhao was relieved. She took out the card Zhao Wuyan had given her: "How much more do I need to pay if I use this?"

The young woman took the card and became even more respectful to Lin Zhao: "Please wait a moment, esteemed guest. This transaction is beyond my authority. I will introduce you to Master Minglan."

Master Minglan?

Lin Zhao's eyes flickered, wondering if the other person was the Master Minglan she was thinking of.

When the girl led the people over, Lin Zhao was completely certain that this was the junior sister of the Second Elder of the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

Minglan maintained her cold expression, took the card, and glanced at Lin Zhao: "So you're the current owner of this card?"

Lin Zhao nodded.

"Go with the highest discount. The level nine Frost Wolf Fur and Meteorite you want have already been prepared." Minglan handed the card to Lin Zhao and waved her hand.

Lin Zhao was surprised that the trip went so smoothly and quickly thanked them. When the items arrived, the old woman in her mind exclaimed in surprise, "This is no ordinary level nine cold wolf fur. Look at the color, it's almost like a celestial beast. And this meteorite, its color is the most beautiful I've seen in all these years."

It is extremely rare for ordinary meteorites to have five colors, but this meteorite has seven colors!

This is a leap in quality.

Lin Zhao noticed that the prices of these two items were no different from the prices the maid had quoted him earlier. In other words, the other party had given him the top-quality items, but only made him pay the price of ordinary level nine cold wolf fur and meteorite. For a moment, he even wondered if the other party had recognized him.

However, Minglan remained aloof and cold, leaving Lin Zhao unable to figure out her true intentions. In any case, with Granny Honghu in charge, she accepted the two valuable items without hesitation.

After Lin Zhao left, Minglan said, "You waited here for so long, just for her?"

The screen in the room was taken away by the staff, revealing a handsome young man sitting behind it.

Zhao Wuyan bowed to Minglan and said, "Thank you, senior."

Minglan waved her hand: "You also gave me what I wanted."

Her gaze swept over Zhao Wuyan, and she paused slightly: "You can cultivate now?"

Zhao Wuyan nodded.

Minglan breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "So that's why you haven't come looking for me all these years despite being pressured so much by that androgynous monster under Second Brother's command. Turns out you had your own plans all along."

Zhao Wuyan smiled somewhat apologetically: "Senior has helped me a lot over the years. I can't let you fall out with the current leaders of the sect for my sake. You've already sacrificed so much for the Worry-Free Merchant Guild." Minglan said, "If it weren't for you, young man, investing so much when I was seriously injured back then, I wouldn't be where I am today. As for the sect, let it be. After all, the sect..."

Minglan's gaze slowly darkened, and after a moment of silence, she said, "The sect also needs to restore its original state before it will look right."

Zhao Wuyan's expression shifted, not understanding the meaning behind the other person's words.

Minglan didn't give him time to think about the intricacies of the matter, interrupting his thoughts with her words: "That girl is good, keep a close eye on her."

Zhao Wuyan's body, which had improved a lot from his cultivation these past few days, suddenly stiffened, and then he coughed violently, his ears turning red: "Senior, I didn't mean that."

Minglan gave a cryptic laugh, but didn't refute the boy's words.

"I should go back now. Now that you've entered the Phoenix Medicine Sect, just focus on your cultivation and don't attract attention."

Zhao Wuyan felt that Minglan's words had a hidden meaning, but he couldn't quite figure out what she was implying.

After Minglan left, he turned to the girl in the pale yellow dress behind him and asked, "How much more do you plan to eat there?"

The girl in the pale yellow dress had a beautiful and refined face, but her big eyes revealed a wildness that didn't match her appearance.

This girl is, of course, Jin Ya, who is impersonating Lin Zhao.

How did you recognize me?

Ever since she met Zhao Wuyan disguised as Lin Zhao, he almost tried to kill her.

Fortunately, Jin Ya's cultivation level was far higher than Zhao Wuyan's, which saved her life. After Jin Ya revealed her identity and the instructions Lin Zhao had given her, Zhao Wuyan reluctantly withdrew his hostility.

Seeing Lin Zhao arrive at the auction house unharmed today, Zhao Wuyan finally put aside his suspicions about Jin Ya.

“You and she are completely different, it’s not hard to tell the difference.”

Jin Ya snorted: "Stop pretending. I know you like Lin Zhao too."

She had seen too many boys look at Lin Zhao like that.

However, she didn't think highly of Zhao Wuyan: "I advise you, compared to the other boys Lin Zhao knows, you are really much weaker."

Whether it's that annoying Su Bai, or Qu Shu who makes her very hungry, or Ning Wengui with her purple eyes and glass body, they are all much more powerful than Zhao Wuyan.

Zhao Wuyan didn't speak, but simply took a sip of tea and then turned and left.

Jin Ya made a face at his back, and then, following the contract's directions, headed towards Lin Zhao.

After Lin Zhao bought what he wanted, he put on Lin Hui's disguise and headed towards the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

Before even reaching Qingyun Peak, they encountered another person.

An acquaintance.

She stopped in her tracks, looked at the boy who had collapsed at the foot of Qingling Peak, glanced around, pondered for a moment, and then stepped forward.

Song Tingning clutched her chest, which was oozing blood, and groaned weakly.

Lin Zhao walked up to him and fed him a hemostatic pill.
