I'm badly injured, but I'm number one

The auction in Qingyuan City was actually hosted by people from the Tianyang Sect, with the assistance of the Lord of Qingyuan City.

The auction is held every five years in a fixed location and is closed all year round. It will only be opened when the time comes to appraise the auction items sent by individual practitioners. It also provides a place for monks to trade with each other.

The first floor of the auction.

A room dedicated to transactions.

Wen Ye leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rested. The faint light from the spirit lamp fell on his face. Although he looked a little childish, he looked to be around twenty years old, which was completely different from his appearance during the day.

His fingers, hanging in front of him, kept groping for the broken red jade on his thumb.

This was a magical weapon he had obtained by chance before, which could transform into the appearance of another person.

In the past, in order to avoid being hunted down, Wen Ye always used this appearance when making transactions.

He also changed his appearance when he came to deliver something today.

There were footsteps outside the door. Wen Ye looked outside and saw a middle-aged man in a long gown walked in.

When the man saw Wen Ye's young face, a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Are you Shen Pingan?"

Wen Ye stood up and frowned slightly. Shen Pingan was the name he gave to that person, but he didn't recognize the person in front of him.

"who are you?"

The man saluted and said, "I am Tong Wencai, a subordinate of Master Fu."

"You wrote in a hurry today, and Master Fu was too busy to come, so he sent me to meet you."

Master Fu was the person who had an appointment with Wen Ye. The two agreed that he would give him the formation plate he had recently made in Qingyuan City.

Wen Ye knew the identity of the visitor, so he didn't waste any time and directly took out a palm-sized formation plate from his bag.

Small but complete.

There are all the array patterns that should be on the array plate, and there is also some space left for inlaying spirit stones.

And from the overall perspective, it is glowing with a dark light.

"This is what I promised Master Fu. Take it."

Wen Ye said this and handed over the formation plate in his hand.

Tong Wencai took the formation plate from Wen Ye's hand, looked at it carefully, and there was surprise in his eyes.

Looking at Wen Ye's too young face again, he couldn't help but ask.

"You really did this?"

"The array patterns are so cleverly connected. I have never seen this on someone your age in my life."

The array pattern engraved on the array plate is a very large area. Even if most people study it throughout their lives, they will not be able to master it until they are around thirty years old.

What's more, the array patterns need to be connected skillfully.

Wen Ye was not angry when he heard this. He had received even more excessive doubts when he was in the Wen family before.

Tong Wencai just asked casually, and then continued to look at the smooth patterns on the array plate in fascination. When he saw one place, his brows furrowed, he was a little confused, and couldn't help talking to himself.

“Why is this place going this way?”

“Oh, it’s to connect the upper and lower parts.”

Wen Ye was standing aside at this time. He glanced at his puzzled expression and thought for a moment before speaking.

"That is a formation point. With this formation point, not only can we connect the upper and lower parts, but we can also strengthen the power of the formation."

"So the sealing ability of this array will be stronger."

“Look at the auxiliary lines next to it.”

Tong Wencai looked at Wen Ye with half belief and half doubt, then tried to think of it according to what he said, and his eyes suddenly widened.

“It actually works.”

Wen Ye nodded and prepared to leave.

"Then I'll leave this thing to you. I'm leaving first."

Tong Wencai didn't expect him to leave so soon, and hurriedly put the formation plate into his arms.

"Mr. Shen, wait a moment. Master Fu said that if you give him this thing, he can agree to one condition of yours."

"Have you needed any help lately?"

Wen Ye stopped and there was some hesitation in his eyes.

When he first got in touch with Master Fu, he did have his own conditions.

His family had been hunting him down before, and in order to get a moment of peace, Wen Ye planned to join the Tianyang Sect.

However, the annual enrollment period for the Tianyang Sect has passed. If one wants to get in, one must find another way.

So he set his sights on Master Fu, who had a connection with the auction.

I want him to introduce me to someone from the Tianyang Sect. It doesn't matter if he can't become a formal disciple, as long as he can go up the mountain and have some time to catch his breath.

And now Wen Ye met Yan Ping. Although he was seriously injured, he was very powerful and asked him to do things for him.

As long as he keeps following Yan Ping, he won't have to worry about being hunted down by his family.

In this way, it seems that there is no difference whether to go to Tianyang Sect or not.

The hesitation in Wen Ye's eyes only flashed for a moment.

"I have nothing to do in the near future. If you need help, I will come to you."

Wen Ye finished speaking and was about to leave when he heard a commotion in the corridor outside the door.

Tong Wencai didn't expect that someone could delay without being moved by Master Fu's conditions. He thought about it and took out a bead covered with array patterns.

"Wait a little longer, I'll give you a token."

Wen Ye was a little surprised when he saw the bead.

"Flying beads?"

Tong Wencai was stunned. This thing was usually only circulated among high-level cultivators. He didn't expect that this seemingly young individual also knew about it.

"Yes, it is the Flying Pearl."

There was noise again in the corridor outside the door. Tong Wencai frowned, said no more, stuffed the beads into Wen Ye's hand, and ran out.

"Since you know about the Flying Pearl, you should know how to use it."

"Something seems to have happened outside. I'll go out and take a look."

"Let's talk about formations together again when we have a chance."

Tong Wencai's figure quickly disappeared.

Wen Ye looked at the Flying Pearl carefully before putting it away and walking to the door.

Tong Wencai's angry roar of grief was heard outside the door.

"Who are you? How dare you hurt someone like this!"

Then there was a heavy thud, as if someone was flying backwards and hitting the wall.

Wen Ye: “…”

Wen Ye walked out the door and saw another familiar person.

He was wearing a wrinkled red robe and a ferocious wooden mask, through which one could see his bright eyes.

Wen Ye: “…”

The two looked at each other, and a hint of surprise appeared in Yan Ping's eyes.

Obviously he was not affected by the disguise device.

"what are you doing here?"

Wen Ye was silent for a moment, looking at Tong Wencai who had been lying in the corridor gasping for breath for a long time, and the broken formation plate next to him.

Wen Ye couldn't help but cover his face, then pointed at Tong Wencai.

"Send him something."

Yan Ping looked at Tong Wencai, then at Wen Ye, and fell into deep thought.

Although he felt that he had done nothing wrong, he felt it would be bad if his new brother misunderstood him because of such a small matter.

After all, I will need his help with things in the future.

So Yan Ping pointed at Tong Wencai and said innocently.

"He was the one who wanted to start it first."

Tong Wencai, who had finally recovered his breath, climbed up and spoke angrily after hearing these words.

"I just wanted to use the formation to restrict your movements, but you kicked me away!"

As soon as he went out, he saw the man in red knocking away all the guards around him. In desperation, he used the formation plate that Wen Yegang gave him.

As a result, not only was the formation plate useless, it was kicked away and shattered!

Yan Ping sighed, "If I don't fight you, do I have to wait for you to use the formation?"

"Do you think I look like a fool?"

Yan Ping said this and made a final conclusion, then looked at Wen Ye.

"Did you hear that? They were the first to start."
