Lin Feng sat on his seat and listened to the discussions of the people in the grotto-heaven. He then looked at the system cheerfully. His reputation in the northern region of Kunlun Mountain had risen from 75 to 85.
According to the system's explanation, a reputation of 80 could attract outstanding talents with a total potential of 24 and above to take the initiative to acknowledge him as their master.
The system's main mission required Lin Feng to accept a total of 30 disciples with a total potential of 25 and above. Now that his reputation had met the requirements, as long as Lin Feng spread the news, there would be a large number of talents coming to acknowledge him as their master.
As for when and how to spread the news, and the specific process of opening the mountain gate, Lin Feng still needed to think about it carefully.
"Accepting disciples here in Sand Continent City and then bringing them all back to the mountain should be the most convenient. Kunlun Mountain's terrain is complicated. It's too difficult to let a bunch of kids who haven't learned Dao techniques cross the mountains to reach the foot of Lingyun Peak.
"But it's convenient for me to accept disciples in Sand Continent City, and it's also convenient for my enemies to find trouble with me." Lin Feng pondered, "Yes, I have a plan. But for the plan to be carried out smoothly, I still need some conditions …"
The Golden Tiger Clone was the last auction item. Once the Golden Tiger Clone had an owner, the auction officially ended. However, the Vast Ocean Spell Assembly was not over yet.
Those who were willing to trade privately could still stay in the grotto-heaven of the Heavenly Trade Pavilion. It would only be cleared after three days.
However, Lin Feng's objective had been achieved. Under the guidance of the Heavenly Trade Pavilion's deacon, he met Song Fu.
Lin Feng said, "Can I trouble Mister Song to help me exchange ten of these purple talismans for a thousand vermillion talismans?"
Song Fu nodded, "No problem. Our pavilion does business in this area. Naturally, we have all kinds of talisman money in reserve."
He raised his hand, and someone brought over a sufficient number of talismans.
"Sect Leader Lin's items should be sold for a total of 150 purple talismans. Then, you bought the remnant of the Book of the State at the price of six purple talismans, so it's a total of 144 purple talismans."
"According to our Pavilion's usual practice, we will take a tenth of the total as a commission. Therefore, your final reward is a hundred and thirty Purple Talismans. According to your request, here are a hundred and twenty Purple Talismans and a thousand Vermillion Talismans."
Miao Shihao, who came with Lin Feng, was shocked. He covered his mouth and exclaimed, "How can there be so many?"
His eyes flashed as he came to a realization. "Wait … 150 purple talismans. Could it be that you sold the Scarlet Blaze Lightning Tower and the Seal of Sealing as well?!"
Lin Feng faintly smiled and nodded.
The Scarlet Blaze Pagoda and the Sealing Seal were the treasures that Xiao Yan and Xiao Budian had found when they were strolling around the Sand Continent City. At that time, Lin Feng had sighed with emotion that the power of Eight's fortune was also extraordinary.
With these things in hand, the moment Lin Feng heard about the auction, he formed a plan in his mind.
The Scarlet Blaze Pagoda, the Seal of Sealing, and the Golden Tiger Clone were all entrusted to the Heavenly Trade Pavilion by Lin Feng.
In this auction, Lin Feng did not spend a single cent. He picked up the Immeasurable Light Rulai Sutra and the remnant Book of the State for free, and earned a net profit of a hundred and thirty Purple Talismans.
Although the Scarlet Blaze Lightning Pagoda contained the Scarlet Blaze Lightning Fire, it was obviously inferior to Xiao Yan's Nether Evil Blaze and Lin Feng's True Sun Fire that he was about to successfully cultivate. Naturally, it was not of much use.
As for the Seal of Sealing, with the Purple Qi of the Heavens, Lin Feng and his disciples did not need to worry about magic power when they fought with others.
Exchanging two useless things for a large amount of talisman money was naturally a worthwhile transaction.
As for the Golden Tiger Clone, it was killing three birds with one stone. It earned money, increased his reputation, and conveniently planted a hidden chess piece. This business was even more profitable.
Lin Feng walked around the auction today and bought what he wanted. There would naturally be people who would pay for it.
This time, Lin Feng really had to count money until his hands were cramping.
Miao Shihao clicked his tongue, his gaze looking at Lin Feng was full of splendor: "You're really …"
Lin Feng secretly shivered. "I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid that your Brother Shihao will look at me with such a loving gaze."
Song Fu looked at Lin Feng and sighed. "Sect Leader Lin, good move."
Back then, when Lin Feng's God of War clone entered the grotto-heaven with Miao Shihao, out of respect for Miao Shihao, Song Fu did not use his magic power to investigate the true appearance of the God of War clone. However, when his gaze swept across Xiao Yan and Zhu Yi behind the God of War clone, he knew that the God of War clone was definitely related to Lin Feng.
As the local tyrant of Sand Continent City, Heavenly Trade Pavilion's intelligence gathering ability far surpassed others. Three days ago, when Lin Feng had a conflict with Yu Wanfeng and White Real, Zhu Yi and Xiao Yan were not present. However, when they met up with Lin Feng afterwards, they were immediately noticed by Heavenly Trade Pavilion's spies.
However, Song Fu did not expose them at that time. He and White Real had thought that Lin Feng was worried that he would be targeted at at the auction and be maliciously raised. Therefore, he had secretly made preparations.
In reality, what Lin Feng wanted was this effect of trying to cover up, to further numb them.
Lin Feng smiled slightly. "Occasionally. In the long years, I have to find some fun so that I won't be bored."
He thought for a moment and then said, "Mister Song, perhaps I will have a chance to work with you again soon. At that time, I might have to trouble you."
Song Fu smiled. "That's exactly what I'm looking for."
Lin Feng put away the talismans and thought, "Good heavens, so many talismans. I can use them to play Desperate Gambit. If I don't like someone, thousands of talisman money means thousands of spells. I can smash my opponent to death."
Thinking of this, he was secretly shocked. Heavenly Trade Pavilion had so many talisman money. If they really met someone who did not know how to open their eyes and provoked them, it would be like driving the poor with wealth. Even a great Primordial Spirit cultivator would feel dizzy.
In the cultivation world where talismans were like money, money could really smash people to death.
No wonder Heavenly Trade Pavilion could dominate the western border of the Qin Dynasty. It was not without reason.
Lin Feng bid farewell to Yang Tonghui and the others of the Heavenly Sword Sect, then left the sand continent and returned to Mount Kunlun.
However, there seemed to be some strange things mixed into the group …
Lin Feng looked at Miao Shihao speechlessly. "Fellow Daoist Miao, I am going to bring my disciples back to the sect. What are you doing?"
Miao Shihao said matter-of-factly, "Returning to the mountain with you."
Lin Feng's face was instantly filled with black lines. "Fellow Daoist Miao, please listen carefully. I am saying that I am going to bring my disciples back to the cave of my sect."
"If you want to come and be a guest, of course I welcome you. However, I have been busy recently and will need some time. At that time, my sect will have a grand event, and I will naturally invite you to attend."
Miao Shihao covered his mouth and laughed. "Of course I heard what you said clearly. It was you who didn't hear what I said. I said, I want to return to the mountain with you."
Lin Feng was stunned. Looking at the enchanting and charming Brother Shihao, he suddenly had a bad feeling. "You can't be thinking of …"
"At least you're not too stupid." Miao Shihao said with a smile, "I want to join your Xuanmen Tianzong. I wonder if your sect is lacking positions like Elder Protector?"
Lin Feng was dumbfounded. The system notification rang in his ears.
"Congratulations, host, for triggering the side quest of Sect Protector."
"Do you want to accept Loose Cultivator Miao Shihao as a Sect Protector?"
Lin Feng swallowed and asked with difficulty, "Why did you suddenly have such an idea?"
Miao Shihao laughed. "Because it's very interesting to follow you. Moreover, you don't seem to get along with those rough guys from Taixu Temple."
"Before the auction, I already felt that you were very pleasing to the eye, but I didn't have any thoughts of becoming your disciple. However, you really gave me a pleasant surprise during this auction. I was thinking that if I continued to follow you, it would be very interesting, right?"
Lin Feng laughed dryly. He composed himself and quickly calculated in his heart.
There were undoubtedly many benefits to accepting Miao Shihao as a Sect Protector.
First of all, the most direct benefit was that although this guy looked unreliable, he was very strong.
In the battle with Yu Wanfeng, Yu Wanfeng was forced to use the Xuanming True Water and had almost used 90% of his strength. As for Miao Shihao, he had actually only revealed the tip of the iceberg.
His Supernatural State and Udumbara were both mysterious and overbearing top-notch magical powers, but they were still not his true strength.
According to Lin Feng's conjecture, Miao Shihao's magical powers were very likely to be a "Mirrored Flowers, Reflected Moon" four-piece set, which was a complete magical power system.
He sought the Tianyi True Water and Taiyin True Water, probably to seek a breakthrough and strengthening in the "Water" Technique.
Miao Shihao and Kang Nanhua were the same, they could greatly strengthen the forces around Lin Feng.
Although Xiao Yan and the other brats were all extraordinary, so much so that even the heavens were jealous of them, their deep potential had not yet been converted into true strength.
Right now, they were in their growth period, and it was still not enough to expect them to be able to take charge on their own.
With Miao Shihao and Kang Nanhua by his side, many things became easier for Lin Feng. When he sent the few brats out to train, with the two of them by his side to protect them, Lin Feng was also much more at ease.
Of course, it was not that there were no disadvantages. For example, Lin Feng could be sure that Miao Shihao's personality was very casual, and it was impossible to expect him to be like Kang Nanhua and give his all for the sect.
This Brother Shihao, if he found you pleasing to the eye, would help you with everything he had, and would follow you through life and death, even if it was a mountain of knives or a sea of flames, he would not even blink.
But if one day he found you to be an eyesore, then he could only chuckle.
However, this did not bother Lin Feng very much. Naturally, he had to use different methods to interact with different people.
Everything else was fine, except for this guy's sissy style …
The corner of Lin Feng's mouth could not help but twitch. He looked at Miao Shihao and used his mana to transmit his voice, "Three rules."
"First, don't be such a sissy in the sect."
"Impossible!"
"Second, don't be like this when you are out of the sect."
"Why do you care?"
"Third, if you are unhappy on a day and want to leave, let me know in advance."
Hearing the third rule, Miao Shihao was clearly stunned. He looked carefully at Lin Feng and realized that Lin Feng was also looking at him calmly.
After a long time, Miao Shihao's mouth revealed a smile. It was not charming nor enchanting, just like the spring breeze.
"It's a deal."
Lin Feng also smiled, "It's a deal."
Unfortunately, in the next second, Brother Shihao returned to his original appearance and covered his mouth with a smile, "But I can't do the first two. Let's change to something else."
Lin Feng's smile froze on his face. He looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, then turned around and left. He waved his hand, indicating that Miao Shihao should not say anything and just follow him.
"Rogue Cultivator Miao Shihao has officially become the Guardian of the host's sect. The host has completed the side mission of the Guardian of the Sect. The host is rewarded with one lottery ticket!"
Lin Feng lamented in his heart, "Why do I feel that I have made the worst decision in my life?"
After they disappeared from the sky above the Sand Continent City, a crack suddenly appeared in the void. A sword light retracted, revealing the figure of the Shushan Yuanying stage sword cultivator, Kong Chang.
"One step too late." Kong Chang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared in the direction of Kunlun Mountain, "This matter is not over!"
