“It’s him, alright,” replied Third elder as he double-checked his claim.
“…That… to be able to possess the Herculean Primordial Spirit at that age… How powerful are his guardians or family…? Could he be from some large cultivation sect? But when I asked around before, nobody seemed to possess the primordial spirit! There’s no way that kid could’ve gotten that power without being in a sect, so none of this is making any sense!” exclaimed Walter as he tried to keep his cool.
“We did wonder if he was a solitary cultivator…” muttered Third elder with a lowered voice.
“If that’s the case, then boy is truly terrifying…” replied Walter as he shook his head. Walter, for one, had never heard of such a young cultivator obtaining such an immense power that countless people were after. If news about the boy owning the Herculean Primordial Spirit spread around, Walter was honestly worried that he would have to forcibly stop this year’s auction…
“What should we do then, Patriarch…?” asked Third elder as he turned to look at Walter.
“…Before that, what do you think of that young man, Mia?” asked Walter as he turned to look at his daughter.
“…I… don’t know…” muttered Mia as she shook her head.
“I see… Well, let’s just continue observing him first for now,” replied Walter with a wave of his hand, his gaze never leaving Gerald. Naturally, Gerald himself had no idea that this conversation was even taking place…
By this point, the auctioning had already started, and countless roars could be heard as people in the auction house bid for the items on the auction table. From where he was, Gerald and his party could see everything happening in the auction house.
Watching as Gerald folded his arms, Lucian smiled before asking, “See anything you fancy?”
“Speaking of cultivators, I forgot to tell you something rather important,” said Gerald as he scratched the back of his head.
“…Oh? What is it?” asked Aiden as his expression turned serious.
“Here, read this book whenever you have the time. It could help you,” replied Gerald as he took out a palm-sized and ancient-looking book from his jacket pocket before handing it to Aiden. He had obtained it back when he was still at the ancient ruins.
“Pure… Yang technique…? Is this some kind of novel…?” asked Aiden with a slight frown as he read the book’s faded title…
