The Founder of Qi Cultivation, Reincarnates?

The Soul Nourishing pill that was going to be auctioned here, the very pill that caused everyone young man and woman in this city to become frenzied, was in fact Long Feng\'s own. It was one of the few he had given Little Xiao back on the ship. Unbeknownst to him, Lan Yu Ze had sneakily pocketed one and then came here to sell it for little to nothing.

Perhaps several thousand high-grade spirit stones were a lot for someone like Lan Yu Ze, but the true worth of that pill was several times greater than the price he sold the pill for.

Long Feng was so livid when he found out his anger was unable to pass. It would just spike every time he thought about it causing him to want to beat the crap of Lan Yu Ze.

"Look here you fucker, I couldn\'t care less about pills like that since they don\'t have an effect on me the same way it does to you backwards bastards. What I\'m angry about is that you dare sell what\'s mine, you better find a way to retrieve it."

Looking through his hand Lan Yu Ze said nervously.

"But-But how am I going to do that? I\'m nowhere near wealthy enough to win a bidding war against the people here vying for it."

"Then steal it."

Long Feng said with a deadpan look on his face.

Lan Yu Ze shivered.

"N-No, that\'s impossible for me, I\'ll be killed if I try something like that!"

"And you think I won\'t kill you myself?"

"Ah, no wait! I\'ll do it, I\'ll do it!"

Seeing Long Feng\'s eyes filled with killing intent, Lan Yu Ze released a cry of terror.

"Where do you think you\'re running off to!"

Long Feng grabbed Lan Yu Ze\'s collar before he could run away and started another round of slapping,

Lan Yu Ze was sad and depressed. He wanted to cry but no tears came out.

Some distance away from them was Shiming. His gaze was on Yang Su and the others.

He snorted before looking away from them.

"Young Master, are we really going to be able to retrieve this pill?"

The person who said this was actually Tengfei, someone who had entered the Celestial Academy at the same time as Shiming.

With folded arms, Shiming responded.

"It isn\'t a question whether we have to or not, we have to. If someone else gets it we\'ll just steal it from them. If I can get that pill we\'ll have a bigger advantage while we\'re inside the Hidden Fragmented Realm."

At the booth, Lu Shin leaned over to Jun and whispered.

"Is that really him?"

Jun nodded as he watched Dai Hee approach with a smile, not realizing Lu Shin\'s ugly expression.

\'God damn it!!\'

Lu Shin screamed internally. He then placed his face in his hand, not believing there were such coincidences in the world.

"How can it be this guy, this can\'t be happening."

At the same time Dai Hee floated down into the booth, Jun realized his reaction asked.

"Brother Shin, have you met brother Dai before?"

Everyone hearing that turned to Lu Shin, including Dai Hee himself.

Lu Shin\'s hands slid down his face as he lifted his head up. He then said while glaring at Dai Hee.

"Of course I met him before, he destroyed the carriage my sister and I were in order to try to court my sister."

"I-"

Dai Hee hearing this was completely speechless.

Jun, Yang Su, and the others of the group who knew Dai Hee\'s real identity understood what was going on, but Fuangu, Moa Wen, and Yuwei all looked at Dai Hee with strange expressions.

Dai Hee seeing this hurriedly said.

"I-I did no such thing! I explained before it was an accident, didn\'t I give the Fire Spirit Stones as an apology why are bringing this up again?"

Lu Shin hearing this yelled with wide eyes.

"You won\'t be able to bribe me! I\'ll never hand my sister over to you, you perverted bastard!!"

In his anger, Lu Shin stood up and pointed at Dai Hee.

Meanwhile, Dai Hee was becoming increasingly frustrated at Lu Shin\'s accusation.

Only Jun and the others actually knew Lu Shin\'s actions had nothing to do with their carriage being destroyed, but because they had told him and Lu Yue that Dai Hee was truly Li Shen but had lost his memories.

But now they were second-guessing themselves if it was truly a good idea to tell Lu Shin. However, they could use the help given the situation they were going to get themselves in after obtaining the Soul Nourishing pill.

Lu Shin was still the number one genius between the Star Bound Continent and their Maple Continent after all. And he was from the Profound Sword Sect as well, when entering the Hidden Fragmented Realm it was better to join forces given their biggest enemies would be those from the Fire Bound and Water Bound Continent.

To calm things down, Jun stepped up to mediate.

"Brother Dai, I\'m happy you\'re able to accompany us. This is my elder brother Yang Su, this is brother Chen, brother Yin, brother Li Wen, brother Fuangu, brother Mao Wen, sister Yuwei, sister Lihua, and that\'s Mu Fan. I guess you\'ve already met brother Lu Shin and sister Lu Yue."

Dai Hee nodded but when he heard Lu Shin\'s name he did a double take. He recognize it as the name that was on top of the newly built Chosen Ranking Board he once saw in the center of the city.

\'Surely this idiot couldn\'t be that outstanding individually.\'

Dai Hee thought to himself as he cupped his fist and greeted everyone.

Yang Su seeing Dai Hee bowing towards them was reminded he wasn\'t Li Shen, at least he wasn\'t yet. He and the others of course were feeling conflicting emotions.

Though the person who might have the most conflicting emotions was Lu Yue. Her eyes hadn\'t left Dai Hee since he came.

It was hard knowing that someone who was supposed to know you have no memories of you and treated you like a stranger. It was a truly depressing feeling.

The only person who didn\'t have these underlying feelings was Lu Shin for obvious reasons, as well as Fuangu, Mao Wen, and Yuwei.

Jun directed Dai Hee to an empty seat, and as soon as Dai Hee sat down Tai appeared out of nowhere in his lap.

"Meow."

Dai Hee was first taken aback, but he soon smile and began patting Tai.

"And I\'m sure you\'ve met brother Tai already."

Jun said from the side, though Dai Hee didn\'t hear him and he was too busy petting this golden fur cat; for some reason, it was quite addicting.

Said cat in question found a comfortable position in his lap and then laid down.

Dai Hee soon slowed down on the petting sometime later and then looked up. His gaze swept towards two directions he felt someone gaze on him.

On the third floor similar to them where Anang was, and then towards the ground floor where Long Feng was.

He looked at Long Feng confused for a moment, it was after seeing the little boy next to him Dai Hee remembered where he had seen these people from.

An annoyed feeling immediately well up in his heart.

After clicking his tongue Dai Hee looked away and turned to the entrance. Seeing the influx of people wasn\'t slowing down, a nervous expression soon appeared on his face.

\'All these people are likely after the Soul Nourishing pill as well, will I really be able to obtain it? It\'s not that I\'m lacking in Spirit Stones to outbid everyone, if I ran out then I might use those piles of Divine Fire Spirit Stones. However, what I\'m concerned with is if I\'ll even be able to exit this place without being attacked by everyone here.\'

As if reading his mind, Jun leaned over to Dai Hee and said.

"Brother Dai, if you\'re worried about keeping that pill with all these people here, then you don\'t have to worry I\'ll help you fight them off."

Dai Hee hearing this turned to look at Jun who was giving him a wide smile with surprise.

"Brother Jun, if you\'re serious then I don\'t think I can receive such help from you. You\'ll be caught up in massive trouble because of me and I don\'t think I can live with myself if you end up hurt."

Jun was seen waving his hand dismissively before saying.

"Don\'t you think of me as a brother, brother Dai? Well, I do, and I wouldn\'t just stand by while my brother is in trouble, I\'ll definitely help."

Dai Hee hearing this felt a warm feeling rise up in his heart. He never had someone willing to help him so much, after all, if Jun helped him wouldn\'t that mean he was becoming enemies with everyone here who is also after the pill?

However, Dai Hee suddenly thought of something and asked confused.

"But brother Jun, don\'t you want the pill? And I\'m sure your friends attend this auction to obtain the pill as well."

Jun still smiling said reassuringly.

"Brother Dai doesn\'t have to worry, I\'m willing to allow brother you to have this pill. My friends are your friends as well so their decision is the same as mine."

"Really?"

Dai Hee asked skeptically as he turned around to glance at Fang Chen and the others behind them. He then glanced at Lu Shin.

Surely he wouldn\'t give up on a pill as precious as this.

Lu Shin having seen Dai Hee glance toward him spat out.

"Do you think I need some pill to cultivate when I have my heaven-deifying talents? If I take that pill that\'s me eating some side dish, if others eat it that\'s them trying to catch up to me."

For some reason when Dai Hee heard Lu Shin speak he couldn\'t help but scowl.

Dai Hee then heard Jun say.

"Brother Dai, don\'t worry, you can confidently bid on the pill. If anyone tries anything we\'ll step in to help you."

Dai Hee hearing this was really grateful, but Jun said \'we\' so did that meant they would all help him?

\'Why would they go that far to help me?\'

As much as Dai Hee was grateful for the help, he was beginning to get suspicious as to why they were willing to help him this much. Though Dai Hee didn\'t voice his thoughts and merely waited for the auction to start.
