Chapter 350 Calling for External Aid
After meeting Lin Zhao, the person in charge of Yehuang Auction House, and waiting for him to confirm that there was nothing wrong with his pills, he was introduced to Lin Zhao by Elder Cheng.

As luck would have it, the person in charge of Yehuang Auction House was Yang Jingjing's aunt whom she had met before. She had a bit of Thunder Bird blood in her body and was named Xu Xingtian. She was a master at the Great Perfection of the Integration Stage. In Yehuang City, apart from the ancestors of the three major families, she had the highest cultivation level.

Lin Zhao talked with her for a while and roughly sensed that the other party also disliked Yang Tuo and Huang Xiao. Instead of directly expressing his dislike for the two, he asked indirectly, "Senior, do you know what Master Yang minors in?"

When Yang Tuo appeared, Grandma Honghu reminded Lin Zhao that Yang Tuo harbored resentment.

There are many kinds of energy in the world: the spiritual energy cultivated by cultivators, the demonic energy cultivated by demonic cultivators, the corpse energy cultivated by corpse fiends, and naturally, there is also resentment energy.
However, for a cultivator in the Integration stage, there should be nothing but rich spiritual energy on their body, but the resentment can still entwine around it, which means that it is not entangled in the physical body, but in the soul.

There is only one possibility—the other party has too much negative karma and cannot escape the entanglement of resentment.

What karmic obstacles did you create?
Based on Huang Xiao's gaze and behavior, as well as the exchange of glances between Huang Xiao and Huang Xiao, Lin Zhao had a vague guess, but she needed witnesses from the sidelines.

Xu Xingtian also loathed those two. If Yang Tuo hadn't been related to Yang Jingjing's father by blood and was a noble of the Great Wind Bird clan, he would have died countless times over based on what he had done in the capital. How could he be so arrogant and domineering here? It was all thanks to Yang Jingjing's father's protection.

She frowned and said, "He's a spirit talisman master, but he only studies some irrelevant arrays."

Lin Zhao pondered for a moment, then asked, "Has he been in Yehuang City for a long time?"

Xu Xingtian nodded: "Pretty much. If it weren't for his deep roots here and his entanglements with the Chen family, I wouldn't have been restrained all these years."

Lin Zhao asked, "Doesn't he have any children?"

"No, he likes men. Although there are methods in the cultivation world to have children with two men, he doesn't care about offspring."

Lin Zhao thanked him and then took out some pills he had refined from his ring.

Xu Xingtian asked, "Does Young Master Lin Zhao know something?"

Lin Zhao felt a little embarrassed by being addressed as "Young Master": "Senior, you can just call me Lin Zhao."

What is this Lin Zhao, the young master? Compared to him, what am I, the young master,?

Xu Xingtian said meaningfully, "Jingjing told me about you. She said that if I meet you in the future, you might be able to help me break out of this predicament."

Lin Zhao hadn't expected that the royal family of the Great Wind Bird, with whom he hadn't known for long, would think so highly of him. He could only smile and say, "Perhaps I'll have to rely on your help, senior."

Xu Xingtian took out two talismans from her sleeve: "The first one is a summoning talisman. As long as you crush it, I will sense it and rush there. The other one is a defensive talisman that can block an attack from a Tribulation Transcending cultivator."

Lin Zhao didn't stand on ceremony. What she planned to do might cause a huge uproar in the city, so having more means of protection was always a good thing.

"I can offer you all these pills at the highest price. Which one would you like?"

Lin Zhao said, "For defensive sacred artifacts, price is not an issue; the higher the grade, the better."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingtian pondered for a moment and said, "Speaking of which, there really is a top-grade sacred artifact at today's auction, a sacred artifact that is infinitely close to a celestial artifact. It would be very suitable for you, but the person in charge of auctioning it is Yang Tuo."

Nowadays, she doesn't have a monopoly on the auction house. She can intercept ordinary items, but she is powerless when it comes to high-grade sacred artifacts that have already been put on the auction list.

This involved the auction house's reputation. Lin Zhao naturally understood, thanked her, asked Xu Xingtian for a private room spot, and then went into the private room with Hong Feng.

Once they arrived at the private room, Lin Zhao finally had time to listen to Hong Feng recount the events that had transpired at the Phoenix Medicine Sect recently.

"The sect has basically completed its initial relocation in the past month or so. My family is in Yehuang City. After returning to the Central Continent with the sect, my family found out and told me about my mother's injuries through the Tiantong Mirror. Only then did I realize that the rest of my family had been monitored by the Chen family. I cautiously went home to check on my mother and came here after learning that she needed the Thousand Spirit Pill. I didn't expect that even though I was careful, I was still found."

Lin Zhao said, "I do have some Grade 7 Thousand Spirit Pills here."

She took out a jade bottle containing elixirs from her ring and handed it to the other person.

In the secret realm, Jin Ya and the other three found enough medicinal herbs, and Lin Zhao refined all the common pills that she could make.

Hongfeng grasped the porcelain bottle and was about to thank Lin Zhao when Lin Zhao stopped her, saying, "We're disciples of the same sect, why bother with such things?"

She paused for a moment: "In addition, I suspect that the teleportation talisman of the Chen family was brought from the capital by Yang Tuo."

Hongfeng was taken aback: "If that's the case, they've been profiting from the teleportation array made with this teleportation talisman in the Chen family's name, and if they're investigated, then..."

"Let's see if anyone investigates." Lin Zhao opened the Heavenly Mirror.

"Young Master's plans?"

“I have Yang Jingjing’s Tiantong number. I added her through a friend. I only have doubts now, and I don’t know what the teleportation array made by the Dafeng Clan’s teleportation talisman looks like, so I need to let someone who knows take a look.”

Hongfeng was taken aback: "Is it Yang Jingjing, the current young master of Lingtian Pavilion?"

It should be noted that Yehuang City is actually under the jurisdiction of Lingtian Pavilion.

"Yes, it's her."

Hongfeng frowned deeply: "But I heard that Yang Tuo and her father have a very good relationship. They are cousins. That's why Yang Tuo was sent here to be a local tyrant after he caused some trouble."

If Yang Jingjing's grandfather hadn't later discovered that the atmosphere in Yehuang City and Yehuang Auction House was not right, and hadn't sent Xu Xingtian and her confidant Old Zhou and others to share power, this place might still be Yang Tuo's territory.

"Her father doesn't represent her personally." Seeing Yang Jingjing's affirmative reply, Lin Zhao changed the subject and asked Hong Feng, "After I bid for the sacred artifact, I'll go back to the Hong family with you. You said before that if you had the relevant teleportation talismans and teleportation arrays, your Hong family could turn things around and keep these things. How did you manage to keep them?"

Hongfeng said, "The two patriarchs of the An family and the Lin family had an agreement with my Hong family patriarch. If any descendant of my Hong family produces the token they gave to the Hong family, they will unconditionally help once. This is why our family has been declining, and why the Chen family only dares to monitor us but not to kill us."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao shook his head: "Judging from the current situation of the Hong family, these two families are only helping you to avoid being completely wiped out and sharing the burden of the Chen family's targeting. They are not actually worth trusting too much."

The entire Hong family was under the partial surveillance and control of the Chen family. They couldn't even go out to buy medicine, and neither family offered any help to the injured. This shows that the bonds between these families can only be shown when their strength is equal.

"Please ask the sect leader to come here," Lin Zhao said to Hong Feng.

The Phoenix Medicine Sect Master's cultivation level is almost at the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, which is enough to easily defeat the Chen family's ancestor who is in the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm.
