The trader scanned the contents with his divine sense and immediately knew that there were 11,000 spirit stones inside, not a single one missing.

Immediately, he smiled and handed Su Yun a storage ring as well.

After Su Yun took it, he realized that it was the same stone carving of the Nourishing Spirit Technique from before.

At this moment, the other characters on the stone carving were not obscured, and Su Yun saw hundreds of characters at a glance, which finally put his mind at ease.

The trader in front of me smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, if you ever need to pawn anything or buy any resources that you can't find elsewhere, you can come to my Pawnshop to trade."

"no problem."

"By the way, where did you get this? Is it a relic of a Daoist lineage in the Tianyuan Ancient Gorge?"

Su Yun asked casually.

The trader waved his hand and said, "No, most of the items we auction are acquired through transactions."

"This stone carving was obtained from a cultivator who even specified that it should be auctioned off, and did not agree to exchange it directly for spirit stones and other resources."

"Otherwise, we would have stored these stone carvings away instead of putting them up for auction."

As members of the Treasure Pavilion, they are very knowledgeable about valuable items. Even if they don't know exactly what these items are, they will collect them and send them back to headquarters for investigation.

But since the sellers wanted to acquire these resources through auction, they had no choice but to comply.

However, Su Yun frowned slightly upon hearing this.

"What does this mean? Is it necessary to auction it off?"

One trader said, "They probably thought someone would recognize the value and drive up the price to get more resources."

"is that so……"

Su Yun frowned, feeling that something was not quite right.

He pondered for a moment and then asked, "Who is this person?"

"This……"

The trader smiled and continued, "Fellow Daoist, our identity information during transactions is kept confidential by our employers and cannot be disclosed to others. Please understand."

"Ok."

Su Yun had no choice but to give up.

"Alright, fellow Daoist, let's continue our trade if there's an opportunity in the future."

The traders stood up.

Su Yun also came to her senses and did not linger any longer.

After saying goodbye to the other party, I returned to the previous place and redeemed 10,000 spirit stones with the token.

The portly cultivator leaned closer and whispered, "So, are you sure they come from the same source?"

"Ah."

Su Yun nodded.

"That's right."

The fat monk grinned.

"How are you going to thank me, Fatty? If I hadn't found out about this at the auction yesterday, you would have missed it entirely."

Su Yun didn't have time to chat with him.

He was still pondering what the trader had just said.

He always felt that the other party's desire was not simply about acquiring more resources.

"Who could it be?"

The other party put it up for auction probably has a basis in their knowledge that this item is definitely valuable, and if someone recognizes its worth, the price could be very high.

Or perhaps the other party is gambling, simply wanting to take a chance.

But Su Yun believes the former is more likely.

"In other words, there's a high probability that the other party knew the characters on the stone carving!"

Thinking of this, his heart skipped a beat, and a bad thought popped into his head.

"Could it be that someone is deliberately using this method, holding an auction here to see who will buy the remaining stone carvings, and thus identifying their target..."

"After all, only cultivators who know the contents of the Spirit Nourishing Technique stone inscription, or who also have other Spirit Nourishing Technique stone inscriptions, will most likely buy it!"

"Even if that's not the case, the other party didn't suffer any losses..."

Su Yun thought to himself.

This thought made his hair stand on end!

If that's the case, then it makes sense why the other party insisted on specifying the auction.

This person is searching for a target, wanting to obtain the remaining stone carvings!

Su Yun's heart started racing.

In the end, he shook his head and muttered to himself, "I hope I'm wrong, that I'm just overthinking it."

This idea has no basis and is just a bold guess; it should not be taken seriously.

However, his intuition told him that something was amiss.

He turned around and glanced at the other cultivators in the Treasure Pavilion, only to find that no one was staring at him.
