Jia Baihe didn’t know what to do when, from a distance, a spaceship approached. Jia Baihe hurriedly took out a mask and put it on.
"Are you headed to the Wanjie Void Flying City auction?" The cultivator aboard the spaceship was clearly adept at making connections and called out to Jia Baihe from afar.
Before she knew Ding Huan, Jia Baihe would never deign to waste words with men.
It was truly because she had suffered too much humiliation.
Today, she needed to inquire about what the Wanjie Void Flying City was and did so with the manners of a cultivator, "Indeed, are you also going to attend the auction?"
The cultivator laughed heartily, "Yes, unfortunately I do not have a Wanjie Mall Teleportation Talisman, otherwise I wouldn’t have had to fly for several months to get here.
This auction has been advertised by the Wanjie Mall for a long time, and I heard that Immortal Artifacts will be up for sale."
Jia Baihe quickly asked, "Do you have a description of the items up for auction at the auction?"
Actually, she wanted to ask if the other party had an introduction to the Void Flying City, but asking like this would reveal that she had never heard of this Flying City before.
The cultivator shook his head, "I do not have that, but the Flying City is just a few steps away; you can definitely buy it once inside."
After saying this, the cultivator controlled his spaceship to head towards the Wanjie Void Flying City first.
Jia Baihe felt a bit conflicted in her heart.
She knew that when it came to killing, there weren’t many who could surpass her.
Just over half a year ago, she had even killed a cultivator from a planet.
She didn’t need to meet anyone to kill; she wouldn’t even let her victims know—just poisoning them was enough.
When it came to understanding human interactions and dealing with others, she was lacking far behind.
Should she go?
Just as Jia Baihe was feeling conflicted, she suddenly heard a noise and with her Divine Will saw that Ding Huan seemed to be struggling to stand up.
Jia Baihe hurried into the cabin and helped Ding Huan up, "Ding Huan, are you alright?"
Ding Huan felt incredibly grateful; if it wasn’t for Jia Baihe taking him away, anything could have happened to him in the Void.
"Thanks for saving my life." Ding Huan expressed his gratitude.

Because of Louxi River’s deadly Dao Rhythm, his wounds were surrounded by an aura of death, his strength had nearly dropped to zero.
However, now that he was awake, give him a few more days and he would recover.
To him, healing was the simplest of tasks.
Jia Baihe quickly waved her hand, "You’ve saved me several times, and you even helped me neutralize the Tao Foundation poison, so I only did this little thing for you."
"Did you get that guy’s ring?" Ding Huan wanted to see if Louxi River’s ring contained any information about the Immortal Realm and cultivation insights.
As for the other contents of Louxi River’s ring, he wasn’t concerned.
"What ring?" Jia Baihe was stunned.
Ding Huan was also stunned, then immediately realized what had happened and looked at Jia Baihe in disbelief, "You didn’t take that guy’s ring before escaping, did you? The one who called himself Louxi River."
He remembered calling out to Jia Baihe to wait before he passed out.
Jia Baihe shook her head, "Where would I have the courage to stay? I just took your Iron Drum and severed limbs and ran. Even if that guy was gravely injured, I probably wouldn’t stand a chance against him."
"Let’s just forget it then," Ding Huan sighed, feeling quite disappointed.
What a pity, a ring belonging to an Immortal Realm cultivator.
Jia Baihe finally started to realize and stared at Ding Huan with wide eyes, "Sect Master Ding, are you saying you killed that man in gray?"
Ding Huan looked at Jia Baihe speechlessly, "Of course I killed him."
He thought to himself that if it wasn’t for his killing the man, even she couldn’t have escaped the man’s pursuit.
Jia Baihe was stunned for a good ten breaths before speaking in frustration, "I thought he was still alive; I didn’t dare stay one breath longer and fled."
Despite Jia Baihe having killed many, counting in the millions, she had almost no experience with one-on-one fights.
She knew her weakness—if there was a battle, just poison first, nothing else mattered.
So after rescuing Ding Huan, she didn’t dare to check on Louxi River’s condition. To her, escaping with her life was already the luckiest she could be.
"Let’s just forget it, what’s past is past, Jiuyuan Star still has a bunch of Spirit Veins and Spirit Grass to collect. Also, why are you stopping here?" Ding Huan looked at Jia Baihe puzzlingly.
Jia Baihe also knew it was no use dwelling on it.
Ding Huan had risked his life to kill a strong man they had never met before, only for the spoils to be out of reach; indeed, it felt a little unfair.
She pointed at the Void Flying City ahead and explained, "Ahead is a Void Flying City; I’m wondering whether I should go in for a rest."
"A Void Flying City?" Ding Huan was surprised and repeated the term; he had never heard of it before.
Jia Baihe explained, "I just heard from someone that this Wanjie Void Flying City is a massive spaceship of the Wanjie Commerce, and they seem to be hosting an auction here.
Many people teleported here, and many others flew for several months through the Void just to attend the auction."
Ding Huan closed his eyes and began to calculate.
There was danger, but also opportunity.
He should not enter, that was Ding Huan’s thought.
However, when Ding Huan calculated that not entering would yield a blank future, he did not hesitate and said, "Then what’s there to hesitate about? Hurry up and go in to take a look."
"Alright." Jia Baihe heard Ding Huan agree to go in and immediately propelled the spaceship, landing it on the Void platform outside the Wanjie Void Flying City at top speed.
Almost the moment Jia Baihe controlled the spaceship to leave, a man in red landed where Jia Baihe’s spaceship had been.
He looked at the distant Void Flying City and said coldly, "You think you can survive in my Wuque’s hands?"
Jia Baihe put away the spaceship and carried Ding Huan on her back.
The faint scent of fragrance wafted over, and Ding Huan felt a bit apologetic, "Sorry, I should be able to recover in only three or four days."
Jia Baihe didn’t mind at all and said, "As long as you don’t dislike it, it’s natural for me to carry you."
To be honest, deep inside, Jia Baihe felt somewhat inferior in front of Ding Huan.
If Ding Huan were an ordinary person, or rather, a common man, she wouldn’t have cared in the slightest.
But Ding Huan was no ordinary person, and had saved her several times.
This made her feel inferior in front of Ding Huan, an inferiority carved in her bones, which she could not let go of.
Ding Huan laughed and said,
"Bai He, if you consider me a friend, then don’t say such things. I, Ding Huan, don’t have many friends, but you definitely count as one of them."
"Thank you." Jia Baihe didn’t know if she had taken in Ding Huan’s words but said a ’thank you’ before falling silent.
"What procedures are needed for someone coming to the Wanjie Void Flying City of Wanjie Commerce for the first time?" a young woman asked nonchalantly at the entrance of the Flying City.
Jia Baihe heard this and quickly stood behind to listen carefully.
The guardian at the entrance of the Flying City was a pair, one of whom smiled and said, "Every time our commerce’s Void Flying City arrives in a new place, we have new friends like you.
The process is very simple, first get a Guest Card from Wanjie Commerce at the side, then you’re free to shop, stay, or attend auctions inside the city."
"Thanks." The young woman said thanks and quickly went to the nearby window to buy a Guest Card.
Jia Baihe also followed, buying two Guest Cards, named Brother Huan and Bai He.
Being newcomers, the cards they could buy were orange.
From the simple engravings on the cards, it was clear that Wanjie Commerce’s Guest Cards came in six colors: orange, green, cyan, blue, purple, and gold.
These cards were very powerful, containing a storage space mainly for storing things like Spirit Veins and Spirit Stones.
Regardless of which shop you patron within the Wanjie Commerce, you needed to use this card. As long as you loaded your Spirit Stones, Spirit Veins into this Guest Card, it could be used for trade.
As for the Wanjie Void Flying City, it was a moving Daoist City of the Wanjie Commerce.
Such moving Daoist Cities were usually behemoth-like spaceships that constantly flew through the Void.
Hence, they were also called Flying Cities.
After flying for some time, these Flying Cities would stop.
Any cultivator in the cosmic Void could buy items and attend auctions inside such a Flying City.
To enter the Flying City, all you needed was the Guest Card in hand.
Once you’ve spent enough using your Guest Card, it would change color.
The change in color of a Wanjie Commerce Guest Card meant a change in status.
Status increased sequentially from orange, green, cyan, blue, purple, to gold.
Once the Guest Card turned blue, it became a VIP Card, and holders of VIP Cards could enjoy teleportation services.
These Flying Cities often had top-tier items for auction and sale.
Thus, whenever a Flying City stopped in the Void, if there were good items available, many cultivators with VIP Cards would use their teleportation privileges to teleport to the Flying City.
If you didn’t have a blue VIP Card and wanted to attend an auction, you’d have to fly there following the Guest Card’s location.
Don’t think it’s not worth flying for several months to attend a Flying City auction—this couldn’t be further from the truth.
For instance, if there was a Divine Essence Pill at the Flying City’s auction, some Void God Realm cultivators would be willing to fly for a year to try their luck at this auction.
Why not over a year? Because such a Void Flying City couldn’t possibly stay in one place for over a year.
"Is this your first time at the Wanjie Void Flying City too?" The woman in front of Jia Baihe who was buying a Guest Card for Wanjie Mall was sociable.
Seeing that Jia Baihe, carrying Ding Huan, had been following her, she took the initiative to strike up a conversation.
"Yeah, is it yours as well?" Jia Baihe uttered a redundant remark.
The woman, however, replied enthusiastically, "Yes, I heard there are good items at this auction. After teleportation and months of tiring flight, I arrived just in time."
Casting from Ding Huan’s mind where he was on Jia Baihe’s back, the young woman had no sense of caution whatsoever.
Her reply was as good as telling others, "I’ve got a load of spirit source on me, especially coming to purchase good items, and I’m alone too."
