The scenery inside the Painting of the Nine Immortals was picturesque and spiritual.

A golden dragon's scale was suspending in midair, emitting a shocking amount of prowess that only belonged a dragon - terrifying and powerful.

Though this dragon's scale was almighty, it was merely one dragon's scale. How was that enough to stop the immortals living inside the painting?

"This young man sure is lucky to get this treasure. It's just that the item has been fiddled with. If he touches it, he will be attacked." Liao Cang Qiong faintly grinned and scanned the item with his Qi. He found three different inhibition spells set up on the dragon's scale.

The Pioneer of Ancient Arrays, Feng Qing Ming, also discovered them. He was the Immortal of Arrays after all. All inhibitions are harmless to him.

"I am guessing that he threw this item in here because he wanted our help dealing with the inhibitions set on it." Feng Qing Ming smiled lightly and correctly guessed Ling Xian's intention.

Liao Cang Qiong nodded as well, "There are three inhibitions spells set on it. I do not know the details but I can feel that all of them are meant to harm the user."

"It's not a big deal. These spells are the type that can't accomplish much." Feng Qing Ming brandished his hand. He didn't think highly of these inhibition spells.

It was a mystery what the the Mu Clan ancestor would think if he heard this.

To know that all these of the seals he placed on the treasure were from the techniques he acquired many many years ago. It must have cost him great fortune and luck to get learn these techniques. Today, in order to plot against Ling Xian, he had to use them on the dragon's scale despite the agony.

Yet right now, these arrays were being called "spells that can't accomplish much". If he heard this comment, he would be puking blood from anger.

"To you, of course they are ineffective and weak techniques." Liao Cang Qiong chuckled, "Alright, let's not waste more time. Hurry and break the seals."

Feng Qing Ming nodded and began to manipulate his spiritual energy. His giant sleeve lightly brushed against the scale and all three inhibitions broke.

Yes, it was just that simple.

Don't forget, he was known as the Pioneer of Ancient Arrays. Everything related to arrays were as easy to him as eating and drinking.

These three inhibition spells were broken by him without him having to exert much effort.

"You sure live up to your title of being the Pioneer of Ancient Arrays, you really are something." Liao Cang Qiong complimented. He flapped around his sleeve and sent out the gold dragon's scale out of the Painting of the Nine Immortals.

The seals were broken. Naturally it was time for the treasure to go back to its owner.

Inside a motel room, a palm sized dragon's scale emerged, emitting an infinite amount of heavenly light.

Seeing this, Ling Xian's lips revealed a satisfied smile. Without even needing to use his Qi, he knew that the inhibition spells on the dragon's scale had been broken. Or else the two immortals wouldn't have sent it back out.

"The Mu Clan ancestor, you sure gave your enemy a wife and lost your soldiers as well. Not only did your plot against me failed, but you allowed me get my hands on this valuable dragon's scale." Ling Xian shook his head with a smile, with his face carrying some traces of sarcasm.

Immediately, he placed the dragon's scale into his storage pouch.

Though this item was extremely valuable, to him right now, he had no actual use for it. Plus, other than the inhibition spell on the dragons scale, he had two more issues to deal with.

Therefore, as Ling Xian was putting the dragon's scale away into his storage spell, he took out a black scroll and a flaming red pearl.

They were the Technique of the Physical Body and the Fire Taming Pearl.

These two items, along with the dragon's scale, were the most expensive items to come out of the auction. Therefore, the Mu Clan ancestor fiddled with them as well.

"Playing it evil behind my back once wasn't enough? You had to resort to doing this again. How stupid."

Sensing the concealed poison on these two items, Ling Xian laughed. Since he already had the Flame of Purity, the enemy of all poisons, what poison could hurt him?

Unless the poison was the type that could kill even real immortals, nothing poisonous could pose a threat to him!

Therefore, when he realized that the items he acquired were laced with poison, he naturally smiled and let it go.

"I am guessing that other than poison, you have no other strategies to use against me." Ling Xian's face was full of teasing as he inhaled the poison on the weapons.

Then, the Flame of Purity began to burn inside his body. As if it saw a giant prey, the flame pounced and swallowed the poison until nothing was left.

Now, all the traps involving the three treasures were completely destroyed!

One had to admit that, running into such an insane person like Ling Xian, the Mu Clan did have some really bad lucks.

If it were any other person, the first trap from the invitation would've ended everything. None of he three traps that occurred after wouldn't be needed.

What a pity though. The opponent the Mu Clan chose was Ling Xian, a common known insane of a being in Yunzhou.

Poison was completely useless against him and inhibition spells were ineffective against him. A demon like this was not someone the Mu Clan could plot against.

"Three treasures, and three traps. I bet that the Mu Clan ancestor must have a cunning smile after realizing that I took all the three treasures."

Ling Xian revealed a sarcastic grin, "I sure wonder though, when I stand in front of you completely harmless, how great your facial expression will be."

This was something already certain for Ling Xian.

The Mu Clan ancestor was extremely confident and was certain that Ling Xian would collapse before the treasures. Yet now, all three seals were broken, which meant the ancestor's plans and hopes had all failed. How could the expression on his face not be fun to watch?

When he imagined the Mu Clan ancestor's expression, Ling Xian's eyes flashed with high expectations. He mumbled to himself, "I cannot wait for the day I get to see it happen. As for now, why don't I count my gains first."

Then, he glanced at the Flaming Red Pearl. However, he merely glanced at it before putting it back to his storage pouch.

The effects of the Fire Taming Pearl didn't need much explanation and to Ling Xian, it wasn't all that useful. Unless he was engulfed in a sea of fire, the usefulness of the treasure could truly be tested. Under a normal circumstance, it's pretty much useless.

Therefore, Ling Xian didn't waste another second on it. He turned to focus all his attention on the black scroll.

The Technique of the Physical Body.

Evaluating it one on one, it couldn't be compared to the dragon's scale. However, in terms of practicality, it far surpassed the dragon's scale. To Ling Xian especially, it was a rare treasure that was of great use to him right at this moment.

Don't forget, the entire reason as to why he came to Yuezhou was to seek after the fortune. If he wanted to snatch it, then he must join the Shang Qing Sect and earn the top management's trust in order to accomplish his goals.

However, the Shang Qing Sect was one of the most powerful forces in Yuezhou. How could it be that easy to join? Honestly speaking though, with Ling Xian's mighty capabilities, he could most definitely join the Shang Qing Sect.

But so what he could join it? Other than being a guest who required a few days of stay, he could not do anything else.

What did it mean to be a guest? A guest was merely someone who was stopping by. Would the important figures of the Sect share their secrets with a guest? In other words, if Ling Xian joined the Shang Qing House as a guest and did not acquire everyone's trust before attempting to achieve his goals, he would garner much suspicion.

Therefore, the only way out of this situation was to join the Shang Qing Sect as someone who wished to be a disciple. That was the only way for him to earn trust little by little and then to get the chance to get in contact with the great fortune he was seeking after.

It was because of all this, did Ling Xian's eyes begin to shine when he saw the Technique of the Physical Body being auctioned off. It was because of all this, did he so impatiently snatched it away from everyone else.

It was all because this technique suited him far too well. It would grant him with the perfect disguise and allow him to join the Shang Qing Sect as a loyal disciple!
