Inside the tavern, everyone exchanged glances, and the stories behind the name Lin Tanyu spread rapidly.

An Intermediate Star Sea Level warrior who could slay a Star Sea Level Early Stage Qiu Huo!

Driving away the Evil Tiger Brothers, such a reputation was quite noteworthy among the younger generation, especially with the impressive feat of slaying a Star System Level Early Stage fighter—it was a rare occurrence among the youth.

By the time people came to their senses, they realized that the Lin Tanyu they were discussing had disappeared without a trace.

In a secluded alley with few pedestrians, Lin Mo walked slowly ahead with the Xuanyuan Sword on his back, suddenly stopping, furrowing his sword eyebrows, and musing, "I've already helped you; why are you still following me?"

Since leaving the tavern, Zhou Xinyue had been following him. Seeing Lin Mo stop, Zhou Xinyue hesitated, then quickly stepped in front of Lin Mo, her starry eyes shining brightly as she bowed slightly and said, "Thank you, Sir Lin Tanyu, for saving my life."

Zhou Xinyue knew well that offending the Evil Tiger Brothers meant suffering cruel treatment if caught, but what shocked her more was Lin Mo's ability to easily injure the Evil Tiger Brothers, proving his strong prowess.

"Oh, I accept your thanks; you can leave now."

Lin Mo raised his eyelids slightly, looking at the girl before him with a detached expression.

His words seemed to indicate that he didn't want Zhou Xinyue shadowing him. Zhou Xinyue bit her thin red lips, hesitated for a while, then formed a faint blue Primordial Power in her hand, revealing a blue Lotus in her palm, emitting a mild fragrance.

Seeing this blue Lotus, Lin Mo was slightly taken aback—this Green Origin Lotus was an exceptionally valuable Divine Grass beneficial for both elixir crafting and direct consumption.

"What are you doing?" Lin Mo asked, frowning.

"Sir Lin Tanyu, I obtained this Green Origin Lotus from the Evil Tiger Brothers... it was originally something they stole from others and cultivated at a Heavenly Pool to mature for future use, but I happened upon it and took it as a means of justice!" Zhou Xinyue explained slowly.

"Now, I want to give this Green Origin Lotus to Sir Lin Tanyu, as long as you let me stay by your side!"

Zhou Xinyue bit her silver teeth and said.

Lin Mo smiled faintly. If it were before, this Green Origin Lotus would be immensely tempting to him, but now it mattered little; he had millions of soul coins on him, and this Green Origin Lotus was worth at most tens of thousands.

Suddenly, a wave of Primordial Power arose, and Zhou Xinyue looked up, surprised, finding Lin Mo's figure gone from her sight. Given the strength of Lin Mo's spiritual power, avoiding detection from her was easy.

"This..."

Surprise glimmered in Zhou Xinyue's eyes. She had presented the Green Origin Lotus, yet Lin Mo showed no intent to seize it, indirectly proving his vast background, seemingly uninterested in this Green Origin Lotus.

"Sir Lin Tanyu, I will find you," Zhou Xinyue murmured, retrieving the Green Origin Lotus back to her Space Ring, with determination shining in her eyes, whispering, "Master, I will find a way to come back and save you."

Three days later, an auction event was held at the Refining God Pavilion headquarters, attracting various forces and lone wolves, adventurers flooding in like a stream upon hearing about the auctioning of Golden Principle Pearls.

These Golden Principle Pearls stirred quite a sensation, given their preciousness as treasures for comprehending Cosmic Laws, essential for every cultivator, prompting forces and cultivators to arrive knowingly.

The vast Refining God Pavilion headquarters was bustling, packed with thousands of people, chaotic yet lively. In the Klaka Star System, even minor forces and notable experts had seats, while others either stood or hovered in the air.

In the center of the Refining God Pavilion Square was a round high platform, where several important pavilion figures sat. Leading them was a burly, bearded middle-aged man, the Pavilion Master of a Refining God Pavilion branch, Luo Hong; along with four elders from the Refining God Pavilion.

All five were Star System Level experts; although no Primordial Power fluctuations erupted, the subtle suppression emanating from these experts enveloped the whole square, inducing unease.

"Everyone!"

Suddenly, Luo Hong stood up, saying loudly, "It's a great honor for the Refining God Pavilion and myself, Luo Hong, to have you come from afar!"

"I won't waste words; inviting you all and having you come matters deeply. Meanwhile, my Refining God Pavilion will auction ten Golden Principle Pearls, but the auction differs slightly, requiring treasures for exchanges instead of soul coins..."

For the Refining God Pavilion, soul coins were no longer crucial; trading treasures for Golden Principle Pearls proved more beneficial than exchanging for soul coins.

"Trading treasures?"

"Golden Principle Pearls are extremely precious; what treasures are needed for exchange?"

"Exactly! Why weren't we told earlier!"

Voices whispering spread among the crowd, pondering what treasures could exchange for treasures that aid understanding the Golden Principle Pearl.

However, large forces might boast fine collections, whereas the Refining God Pavilion aimed to exchange these treasures for the Golden Principle Pearls. Considering they had acquired a Mysterious Statue, the Golden Principle Pearls seemed less vital.

Having the Mysterious Statue in possession allowed sensing the existence of the Golden Principle through contemplation.

"Alright, I've said enough. If anyone wishes to exchange, simply come up on stage with your treasure!" Luo Hong announced loudly, his voice rumbling and spreading wide.

While people hesitated, one figure flew down from the sky, landing lightly on the high platform. Seeing this figure appear, Luo Hong and four elders squinted slightly, their expressions changing slightly.

"Who's this fellow from some force, daring to be the first on stage, risking embarrassment by lacking anything worthy?"

"He's Lin Tanyu... I saw him injure the Evil Tiger Brothers at the tavern three days ago!"

"Lin Tanyu... I seem to recall his name, hearing he slew Qiu Huo from the Golden Scale Clan three years ago!"

"What's happening? Isn't Lin Tanyu with the Refining God Pavilion? I heard three years ago he joined them in searching for treasure on Wuta Star."
