I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

"Qingxuan Manor?"

"Yes! To the outside world, this is a private estate, but many people know that it is actually a private auction."

Monkey explained, "There are many auctions in the black market, but few people know that the real treasures are actually traded here."

“Then that’s quite unusual,” Lin Xiao nodded.

Real treasures are not so easy to obtain.

Therefore, the owner of Qingxuan Manor must possess great power.

Monkey said, "The five major gangs are always present at every Qingxuan Manor auction, in addition to many mysterious guests."

Lin Xiao fell into deep thought.

The five major gangs are merely puppets. They participate in the auction to complete transactions for their masters, who are mostly influential figures from various sectors.

The high value of such auctions is evident.

Monkey continued, "I did some investigation and discovered something interesting: at the auction, the Black Dragon Sect always seemed to unintentionally help raise the prices."

"Once or twice is fine, but if it happens too often, the Black Dragon Gate and Qingxuan Manor will inevitably have some connection!"

"However, Black Dragon Gate's price gouging is very secretive, and most people can't detect it."

Lin Xiao asked, "Have you ever met the owner of Qingxuan Manor?"

Monkey shook his head and said, "No! The other party is very mysterious. Every auction is hosted by a steward from the manor."

Lin Xiao then asked, "When was the most recent Qingxuan Manor auction held?"

Monkey said, "There is no set pattern to Qingxuan Manor's auctions. Generally, the auction will begin once Qingxuan Manor has acquired enough treasures."

"However, I have already learned that the next auction will be held late at night, five days from now!"

Lin Xiao said, "If you were able to get the information, you should be qualified to participate in the auction, right?"

The little monkey nodded.

Lin Xiao then asked, "Then tell me, who is your master?"

The little monkey was taken aback.

"Don't want to talk about it?"

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "With your strength, no matter how smart you are, it would be difficult for you to even get in touch with auctions of that level, let alone participate in them."

"So how could you not have a master behind you?"

Monkey was silent for a long time before saying, "Boss, it's not that I intentionally concealed it, but my master has no intention of getting involved in the black market struggles."

"She helped me back then only because she wanted me to buy some treasures for her."

"All I can tell you is that she comes from the realm of gods."

"As for the rest, I have made a vow to Heaven that I cannot reveal her identity."

"But I can assure the boss that she has absolutely no connection with him, let alone any conflict or grudge."

"Alright!" Lin Xiao nodded and didn't make things difficult for Monkey Boy any further.

This made the little monkey breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he heard Lin Xiao ask, "Was that person a man or a woman?"

"female!"

The little monkey answered instinctively.

Realizing he had inadvertently gleaned some information, Monkey smiled wryly and said, "Boss, that person must be a big shot from the God Realm, someone very far removed from us."

"Whether it's a man or a woman, we dare not have any other thoughts!"

Chapter 688 Who is the Big Shot Behind Monkey Boy?

Without violating any principles, Monkey revealed as much information as possible.

For example, how does the important person behind him usually contact him, and what does he mainly do for that important person?

The latter is simpler.

That important person simply instructed Monkey to purchase some treasures through Qingxuan Manor.

The monkey was not made to do anything else.

Overall, this was a cushy job for the monkey.

The next day, Lin Xiao and Monkey left the Blood Wheel Gang, exited the black market, and arrived at the White Market of the Myriad Realms City.

There is a merchant alliance in Baishi called "God's Merchant Alliance".

Behind the Divine Commerce Alliance are powerful figures from the divine realm.

Its main influence is in the God Realm; the God's Merchant Alliance in the City of Myriad Realms is just a branch.

However, though small, it has all the essential parts.

After the two entered the God's Merchant Alliance, Monkey called over a manager and handed him a token.

"Please follow me."

After carefully verifying the token and confirming that it was correct, the manager spoke politely to the monkey.

There are places to store items within the God's Alliance.

Monkey always used this method to contact the important figure behind him.

Led by the steward, Lin Xiao and Monkey arrived at a heavily guarded palace. With Lin Xiao's keen eyesight, he could tell that the array formation inside the hall was extraordinary.

The steward led the two men to a cabinet embedded in the wall and told them that this was the cabinet where they could retrieve their belongings.

Then the steward left first and retreated outside the main hall.

"They even know how to avoid suspicion. They're quite skilled at this luggage storage business!" Lin Xiao muttered to himself.

"Crack!"

As the monkey pressed the token onto the array pattern on the surface of the cabinet, the cabinet door opened, revealing a slip of paper and a gem emitting a dark blue glow.

Finally, there's a storage bag.

The slips of paper listed the names of some rare treasures and their origins: some came from the demon realm, some from the monster realm, and some from the underworld.

The storage bag clearly contained a large amount of money, intended for purchasing treasures.

"This is a sound recording stone!"

The little monkey picked up the dark blue gem and explained it to Lin Xiao.

"What did you hear?"

Lin Xiao asked curiously.

"Well... okay!"

Monkey was reluctant, fearing that he would reveal the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, thereby violating the oath of Heaven and bringing terrible trouble upon himself.

But in the end, she agreed.

He was afraid that if he didn't agree, he might be in big trouble now.

"Little monkey, of the treasures I need this time, the Primordial Blood Ganoderma, the Star Spirit Ginseng, and the Heart of the Netherworld are the most important. You have to help me get them!"

"There are some of my latest refined pills in the storage bag. Try to take and refine them to see if they can improve your cultivation level or have any effect."

It's a very pleasant female voice.

The little monkey's eyes were glistening; he was deeply moved.

The powerful figure behind him had always treated him very well, which was why he was unwilling to betray him, not entirely because of the oath of heaven.

Monkey looked at Lin Xiao and said, "Boss, why don't you just stop asking about this? I swear, that person won't have any conflicts with you..."

Before Monkey could finish speaking, he noticed that Lin Xiao's expression was somewhat complicated.

There was a hint of surprise, but also a sense of novelty.

Lin Xiao quickly came to his senses and smiled at Monkey, "So it turns out the big shot behind you is Duanmu."

"Ah... Boss, you... how could you..."

"Don't say it out loud, or you'll break your oath to Heaven," Lin Xiao said with a light laugh.

The voice from the recording stone just now was Duanmu Xianjun's. The two had chatted countless times, so Lin Xiao naturally wouldn't mistake Duanmu Xianjun's voice.

At this point, the little monkey hurriedly shut his mouth.

It's one thing for Lin Xiao to guess it himself, but it's another thing if he says it out loud.

As Lin Xiao spoke, he took out the Tongxuan Treasure Mirror and, in front of the monkey, contacted Immortal Lord Duanmu, asking, "What are you doing?"

"Alchemy!"

Immortal Lord Duanmu's voice quickly returned.

Lin Xiao wasn't surprised. When he chatted with Immortal Lord Duanmu, the latter was often refining pills, partly out of interest and partly because he was bored.

In Duanmu Xianjun's words, a young woman like her couldn't possibly spend all her time with erotic stories!

I need to find something else to do!

"Are all those treasures you bought from Monkey Boy for alchemy?" Lin Xiao asked bluntly.

"Yeah! They just keep tinkering with new pills when they have nothing else to do!"

After answering subconsciously, Duanmu Xianjun asked curiously, "Eh... Xiao Lin, how did you know about Monkey Boy?"

"With my cultivation reaching this level, I can already see through all things. As for your matter, I can figure it out with a quick calculation. It's nothing serious."

Monkey stared wide-eyed at Lin Xiao, who was bragging without blushing or getting nervous at all.

"Pah! Xiao Lin, you can't stand not bragging for a day, can you?"

Immortal Lord Duanmu was not so easily fooled.

Her cultivation level had already reached the ceiling of the gods, and her understanding of the rules of the Great Dao far surpassed Lin Xiao's. Naturally, she knew that it was basically impossible for her to see into all things.

"Tell me quickly, did you go to the City of Myriad Realms and be with Monkey Boy? By the way, is Monkey Boy alright? He made a vow to the Heavenly Dao that he couldn't reveal my identity."
