Two months passed quickly. Time moved relentlessly, and these two months had been extremely fruitful for Fang Yuan. His injuries had completely healed during this period, and he had also made progress in managing his immortal aperture and Shocking Rock blessed land.
His star path clone, Star Lord Wan Xiang, had also brought him some interesting news from within Immortal Combat Sect.
The three Gu Immortals who had been sent to Starry Sky grotto-heaven had been trapped, and even one of their soul lanterns had gone out.
Immortal Combat Sect had lost a rank seven Gu Immortal, and "Shi Lei" had nearly died in Starry Sky grotto-heaven, causing the higher-ups of Immortal Combat Sect to gather their Gu Immortals and even send an Immortal Gu House into Starry Sky grotto-heaven.
Star Lord Wan Xiang distanced himself from Immortal Combat Sect and entered closed cultivation, leaving even the supreme elders of Immortal Combat Sect feeling helpless.
But in truth, the star path clone was having a wonderful time managing his immortal aperture and modifying his immortal killer moves.
Fang Yuan's assets were growing at a terrifying rate. With his solid foundation and wealth flowing in at a shocking pace, it could be said that his foundation had already surpassed that of most rank eight immortals.
Whether it was in terms of the number of inheritances, Immortal Gu, Immortal Gu Houses, or attainment levels.
Fang Yuan returned to Hu Immortal blessed land to prepare for the auction. After returning, Fang Yuan received a message and opened a stargate, revealing Tai Bai Yun Sheng on the other side.
His body was dirty, his clothes were covered in dust, and traces of exhaustion were visible on his aged face. Tai Bai Yun Sheng smiled upon seeing Hu Immortal blessed land.
Fang Yuan greeted him in an icy voice that sent chills down one's spine. "Old Bai, you really look to be in terrible condition. So, are you coming to the auction?"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng laughed happily. "How could I miss such an extraordinary event? In truth, Eastern Sea really is the richest of the five regions. I made quite a fortune there, otherwise how would I have the courage to enter such a high-level auction? But even this fortune cannot compare to junior brother's Hu Immortal blessed land." Tai Bai Yun Sheng boasted while simultaneously feeling envious of Fang Yuan's Hu Immortal blessed land.
Fang Yuan asked curiously. "Oh? How so?"
"I did as junior brother said. I went to Hai Shi blessed land and received a warm welcome after displaying Landscape as Before Immortal Gu. Of course, you already know about this. The profits were very good, and my reputation among Gu Immortal circles rose until a rank seven immortal zombie came to me asking to borrow Landscape as Before Immortal Gu."
Fang Yuan laughed loudly, causing Tai Bai Yun Sheng to chuckle as well. "Of course I refused, even after he offered an alliance agreement. Instead, I offered to go with him and restore the place he wanted repaired. That caused him to hesitate for a moment before agreeing. To my surprise, he wanted me to restore Yu Lu blessed land!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng wanted to continue speaking, but Fang Yuan waved his hand.
"Old Bai, I already have information about Yu Lu blessed land. The immortal zombie who invited you should be Shark Demon, right?" Fang Yuan casually threw out a piece of information that left Tai Bai Yun Sheng dumbfounded.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng stammered before asking in shock. "How?! Ah, wait, is this from master?"
A mocking voice answered him from afar.
"Junior, how could master have the free time to concern himself with such trivial matters?"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was startled by this voice. He had not sensed anyone nearby. Although he had not used investigative methods, it should have been impossible for someone to sneak so close to him unnoticed.
Tai Bai Yun Sheng turned his head and looked at the person who had appeared between him and Fang Yuan. He was a middle-aged man with ordinary features, wearing a loose robe with wide sleeves and a tall hat on his head. His powerful rank seven aura caused Tai Bai Yun Sheng to tense up.
It was the star path clone, Star Lord Wan Xiang.
Fang Yuan laughed upon seeing his nervousness. "Old Bai, there's no need to be so tense. We're brothers, after all."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng was stunned and stared at Star Lord Wan Xiang with a less hostile gaze, even showing some acceptance. "You? Did master send you?"
Star Lord Wan Xiang shook his head dismissively. He did not speak, leaving the introductions to Fang Yuan.
"Old Bai, pay your respects to elder brother Wan Xiang. He is our third senior brother!"
Tai Bai Yun Sheng cupped his fists toward Star Lord Wan Xiang. It truly felt strange to be called junior after having lived for so long. "Elder brother Wan Xiang, your name seems somewhat familiar. Are you Star Lord Wan Xiang, the one who runs the arrow star Gu, starlight firefly Gu, and star fragment grass businesses in treasure yellow heaven?"
Star Lord Wan Xiang nodded. "That's me. Indeed, it is rare for three people from our organization to meet, but extraordinary circumstances require extraordinary measures. Eighty-Eight True Yang Building collapsed because of us. Northern Plains is in chaos, and Central Continent has set its sights on it. But Qin Bai Sheng's auction is an extraordinary event that has eased this chaos and will contribute to disrupting Central Continent's objective by raising Northern Plains' overall battle strength. That is why I am here."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng tried to analyze all this information, but he could not help opening his mouth in shock and asking, "Then Qin Bai Sheng belongs to our organization?!"
Fang Yuan sneered. "Old Bai, how can you think like that? We don't have a hand everywhere. It is merely that Qin Bai Sheng's auction aligns perfectly with our objective. Another thing, elder brother Wan Xiang will participate in the auction on behalf of master and our organization, so we must assist him as much as possible."
Tai Bai Yun Sheng nodded and felt happiness inwardly.
Previously, among his master's disciples, he had only known Fang Yuan, but now he knew his "third senior brother, Star Lord Wan Xiang". This gave Tai Bai Yun Sheng a much stronger sense of belonging. It was a sign that the organization had accepted him.
But in truth, this organization did not exist at all. Everything was merely the manipulation of a single person.
"You two will enter my immortal aperture, and I will take you to Northern Plains now. The auction is about to begin, and I still have other matters to handle before then." Star Lord Wan Xiang spoke hurriedly, and Fang Yuan and Tai Bai Yun Sheng entered his immortal aperture.
Outside, Star Lord Wan Xiang activated an immortal killer move that used Fixed Immortal Travel to teleport.
