Please enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They pulled open the wooden door, gesturing for them to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng dismounted from the cow, leaving the dark-colored ox outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Yutu calmly extended her hand, gently leading the porcelain doll inside:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let your boss come to see me, just say the name ’Ruan Yutu’. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two attendants exchanged glances, one respectfully nodded and left, while the other invited them to a spacious room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single further question was asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of hurried footsteps came from outside, as a middle-aged man, wearing a black robe and with a large belly, came trotting in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze briefly swept over the translucent porcelain doll, landing on the girl who looked like an immortal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Ruan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rotund middle-aged man took off his hat, cautiously inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it’s me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man pondered momentarily, awkwardly performed a salute, then asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where do you come from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From the tranquil bamboo forest, then to Jin City, passing through Windmill Village, and finally Yingtian City.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing ’tranquil bamboo forest’, the man’s eyes and brows relaxed, evidently having confirmed Ruan Yutu’s identity,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he nodded and bowed, face full of smiles:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my! It really is you, why did you personally come...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s expression suddenly stiffened, voice lowered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Miss Ruan, are we ready... to take action?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No rush, wait for the notification.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Yutu casually replied:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I was merely passing by, just to pick up a map of the World Plateau, that’s all.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man nodded, promptly instructing the attendants to fetch the map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting, he couldn’t help but ask:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You just said you came from Windmill Village?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng glanced up, recalling Windmill Village, the place they passed not long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Yutu wondered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is there something wrong with that village?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man wiped his sweat, face showing uncertainty:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Perhaps it’s not the same Windmill Village...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the translucent child suddenly raise its head, voice crisp:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Continue.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man was momentarily stunned, instinctively looked at Miss Ruan, seeing her nod, he continued with a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s a Windmill Village nearby, but half a year ago it was destroyed by a white snake, leaving no survivors, only ruins, and those ruins are quite mysterious...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng and Ruan Yutu exchanged a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruins?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The former furrowed his brow slightly, tapping the table with his knuckles:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me, how exactly is it mysterious?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man glanced at the porcelain doll-like boy, a curiosity rising within him regarding the child beside Miss Ruan, who could it be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be Governor Su’s...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze flickered, he explained in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"People who’ve entered the ruins have never emerged—there was a Celestial Human who entered, eventually also vanished without a trace.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even the Divine Spirit took note of the matter, yet ultimately chose not to enter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rumor has it, the Deity’s spiritual sense frantically warned, thus they ultimately decided against it, and with time, it became a forbidden zone for life...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Yutu’s expression changed, Zhang Fusheng’s face also grew increasingly solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The plump man glanced at the box before bowing slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The map retrieval is still pending, I’ll go check on the situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, he squeezed his corpulent frame through the wooden door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Footsteps gradually faded away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Golden Auction House spans all over the south and north, each being a chess piece laid by Master, every province, every plateau city auction house, prepared for the day of uprising and independence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng nodded peacefully, slightly squinting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ve been pondering about that Windmill Village...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ruan Yutu’s expression likewise turned perplexed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Zhang Fusheng did not idle, his thoughts diving into the Divine Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Divine Realm, at the far west of the human realm, rested an ancient Buddhist Temple—’Leiyin Temple’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng entered the illusory Leiyin Temple, where four Arhats and thirty-six Vajras remained motionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scripture banners fluttered above their heads, solemn and majestic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the Buddha statue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It still sat majestically in place, the Buddha statue was solemn, while the weasel within already perished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weasel had died at the very instant Yellow Eyebrow’s will descended, its spirit and soul completely collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellow Eyebrow has since hidden within the ancient stars in self-seclusion,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>leaving behind, naturally, nothing but an empty shell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, a hundred thousand monk bones encircled ’Leiyin Temple’, chanting scriptures for several days,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>finally clearing away the lingering Buddha charm of the Yellow Skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me see...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Step by step, Zhang Fusheng walked to the Merit Box, reached out and grasped it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Merit Box swayed, transformed into an ordinary pouch, with the letters ’Human Species’ on it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The legendary Human Species Bag...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Fusheng was quite apprehensive about this object, the slightest trace of Yellow Eyebrow’s true spirit was asleep, hidden within, even until today.\u003C\u002Fp>",951,"2026-06-08T09:33:25.352Z",1,"novelbin.me","a38b7fbc3d26e14bd1f73612e9612223a4a01d1bf0a69e6cf3adab3794a8079b","secret-buyer-chapter-393","secret-buyer-chapter-193",547,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsecret-buyer-cover.jpg"]
