Chapter 347 Red Maple is Stopped
After handing over the materials to Fan Chen and Zi Yue to make spirit beast jerky, Lin Zhao began purchasing medicinal herbs and other necessary items for his journey to the Demon Realm.

This includes, but is not limited to, invisibility cloaks, a large number of talismans, and some consumable spiritual artifacts for self-preservation.

Seeing Lin Zhao buy so many things, the remnant soul of the Ancestral Dragon said speechlessly, "Buying so much junk is not as useful as just buying a defensive holy artifact."

How could Lin Zhao not know this principle?
She said with some helplessness, "Even in cities in the Central Continent, if you want to buy a magic weapon of the Saint level or above, you have to go to a medium-sized or larger auction house. These auction houses usually require reservations, and I don't have that much time right now."

Granny Honghu said, "Why don't you offer them a few of the seventh-grade pills you've refined as auction items, and they'll be allowed to enter through the special procedures?"

Lin Zhao's eyes lit up: "Is this okay?"

"Of course, a level seven alchemist is not common even in the Ancestral Phoenix Continent, so they will still give you some face."

Having found his direction, Lin Zhao immediately headed towards Yehuang City, the nearest large city to Wolong Valley.

To Lin Zhao's surprise, she also discovered the Worry-Free Auction House in Yehuang City. It seems that with Zhao Wuyan's recovery and ability to cultivate, the Worry-Free Auction House is growing bigger and bigger.

However, after confirming that the Worry-Free Auction House in Yehuang City did not have the anti-fish defensive artifact she needed, Lin Zhao went to the largest auction house in Yehuang City, where she unexpectedly ran into an acquaintance.

A girl with a high ponytail dressed in red was blocked in her way by a wealthy-looking young man. The young man's malicious gaze lingered on her, and when he saw the girl's curvaceous figure, he couldn't help but swallow hard, and his breathing became rapid.

"It's truly fate that brought us together from afar, Hongfeng. Although considering the Phoenix Medicine Sect's past exile, your status is no longer sufficient to enter my Li family, I've always thought of you and reserved a place for you in my residence. How about this, considering that your Phoenix Medicine Sect finally managed to move back to the Central Continent, I won't hold your past relationship against you. As long as you don't hold our two families' past issues against you, I'll forgive and forget, and take you into my harem, how about that?"

The girl in red was none other than the senior sister of Qingling Peak of the Phoenix Medicine Sect. Before Lin Zhao appeared in the Phoenix Medicine Sect, she was the only person who could rival Sima Ling.

With Hongfeng's talent, he could be considered one of the best in the Northwest Continent and one of the top three in the Phoenix Medicine Sect, but he was not good enough in the Central Continent.

Even though she has now broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, compared to some of the established families and first-class forces in the Central Continent, she is only at a slightly above-average level, which is not particularly outstanding.

That's why this young man, backed by the Chen family, one of the three major families in Yehuang City, insisted on taking Hongfeng into his backyard.

He wanted Hongfeng to enter the backyard for two reasons: first, he valued Hongfeng as a person and the Hong family; second, he valued Hongfeng's status in the Phoenix Medicine Sect.

After all, everyone knows that the Phoenix Medicine Sect has produced a Marquis of Wu'an. This Marquis of Wu'an entered the Nascent Soul stage before the age of eighteen and was valued by the Emperor. He might just be the next Ancestral Phoenix Emperor.

As a result, the Phoenix Medicine Sect rose in status, not only entering the Central Continent but also gaining the support of Yang Jingjing, the current young master of the Lingtian Pavilion. It was on the verge of development, so all the major forces wanted to establish some relationship with the Phoenix Medicine Sect so that they could also get some benefits in the future.

However, these forces all understand that even if they want to establish a relationship with the Phoenix Medicine Sect, they cannot be as obvious as the Lingtian Pavilion. The Lingtian Pavilion is not afraid of the Bright Hall behind Ji Wantang, but they do not have that kind of power.

Therefore, most forces only secretly offered some goodwill and benefits, or tried to establish a relationship with the Phoenix Medicine Sect through some special means.

Chen Ze was the one who made the latter plan. He had seen the current situation of the Phoenix Medicine Sect and had been itching to get involved with this resurgent force, but he also wanted to avoid offending Ji Wantang.

Hongfeng's return gave him a solution that would satisfy both sides.

He had it all planned out. He would first bring Hongfeng into his harem. He wouldn't give her a formal title, but if Lin Zhao defeated Ji Wantang in the imperial election, he would make Hongfeng his legal wife. If Lin Zhao lost, then Hongfeng would only be a concubine in his harem for his pleasure. After all, Hongfeng was quite beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

No matter how you look at it, you won't lose out.

The more he planned it this way, the more satisfied he became.

Meeting his calculating gaze, how could Hongfeng not know what he was thinking?
She herself comes from the Hong family of Huangcheng.

Yehuang City used to have four major families: the Chen family, the Lin family, the An family, and the Hong family. Later, the Chen and Hong families fought each other, and the Hong family fell from power.

As the youngest young lady of the Hong family, she joined the Phoenix Medicine Sect before it declined. At that time, the Phoenix Medicine Sect supported the Hong family and her for a period of time, preventing the Hong family from being swallowed up by the Chen family. Later, the Phoenix Medicine Sect declined, and in order to protect her, the family sent her and the Phoenix Medicine Sect to the Northwest Continent and never let her return.

But now that the Phoenix Medicine Sect has returned to the Central Continent, how could she not go home to visit?

Unexpectedly, just two days after returning home, he encountered the son of the rival family that brought down the Hong family.

Seeing that the other party refused to let her into the auction house no matter what, Hongfeng's beautiful eyes turned red with anger: "Chen Ze, don't push your luck."

Her mother was seriously injured and bedridden, needing a Grade 7 Thousand Spirit Pill to stabilize her vital energy. It was estimated that only this auction house in the entire Yehuang City had this Thousand Spirit Pill in stock.

"Don't be angry." Seeing Hongfeng's even more beautiful face after she got angry, Chen Ze felt a tickle in his heart and couldn't help but reach out his hand.

Hongfeng slapped the other person's hand away: "Get away from me!"

Treated like this, a shadow of gloom flashed in Chen Ze's eyes, but considering the Phoenix Medicine Sect, he still said, "Hongfeng, I'm thinking of the feelings we had when we were young. If you agree to come with me now, I can not only let you in, but I'll also take care of your mother's matter. How about it?"

His condescending attitude made Hongfeng laugh in exasperation: "What if I said I didn't want to?"

Chen Ze sneered: "Then it's not up to you!"

Several auras of Nascent Soul Grand Perfection slowly emerged beside him, causing Hong Feng's face to stiffen: "Chen Ze, you actually dare to make a move at the Yehuang Auction House?!"

Chen Ze laughed and said, "I have been friends with Huang Xiaotang, the head of Yehuang Auction House, for many years. He would naturally not care about such trivial matters."

At this moment, Hongfeng could easily understand that Chen Ze had been preparing for this day all along!

"If you dare to touch me, the Phoenix Medicine Sect will not let you off."

Chen Ze scoffed lightly, not taking it to heart.

Hongfeng took a breath and said, "My Phoenix Medicine Sect's young master will not let your Chen family off the hook!"
