Chapter 316: I Will Help You
Lian Hua was in a dilemma.
She felt ashamed and blamed herself for letting Victor see her naked body, but she could not get angry. It was very strange.
She knew that Victor already had a woman he liked, so although she provoked him with her words, she knew when to stop.
However, now, her body was naked. Lian Hua suddenly had a strange thought that said she had won this time.
“What am I thinking…”
Lian Hua clutched her clothes tightly as she squatted on the ground. She could not help but sigh as she recalled the experience she had with Victor.
“How is that possible?”
Lian Hua thought of herself as a peerless beauty. Even compared to Ye Lingxuan, Lian Hua did not find herself the slightest bit inferior. However, Lian Hua was not confident that she would definitely be able to move Victor’s heart.
If Victor was a lecherous person, he would not need Lian Hua to seduce him. Just based on her looks, Victor would have long become her subordinate.
However, Victor was not one of them.
She was also glad that he was not one of them. Otherwise, she would still be trapped in Carefree City, a place where she would never see any hope in her life.
Meanwhile, on Victor’s side.
Following the guards, Victor arrived at the city lord’s mansion. As Victor did not want to reveal that he had visisted the city lord, the two of them came to the city lord’s mansion through a tunnel in the city.
As soon as they entered, Victor was shocked by a shocking aura!
“The completion stage of the nascent soul realm is more than twice as strong as the sect master of the Fire Sect.”
Even if they were cultivators of the same realm, there were obvious differences in their strength.
For example, Victor, who was only in the early stage of the core formation realm, was basically invincible against the cultivators in White Dragon City.
The reason was very simple.
Although they were in the core formation realm, they did not acc.u.mulate enough spiritual power to catalyze the golden core.
On the other hand, Victor’s core quality was the fourth grade, the purple gold core!
Black gold, green gold, red gold, purple gold, were the qualities of the core.
However, most of the cultivators often overlooked this point. At least in White Dragon City, most people had a black gold core, while Chang An had the superior green gold core.
As for the city lord, although he had long since broken through to the nascent soul realm, his aura was probably red gold.
Although it sounded like there was not much difference, in reality, the quality of the core would essentially affect his future development!
Quality red gold and below could not reach the nascent soul realm; quality below purple gold could not reach the soul formation realm. From the moment he reached the core formation realm, his future was already set.
Therefore, even though Chang An was already half a step into the nascent soul realm, he still could not breakthrough. The reason was that the quality of his core formation was not high enough.
There were only two ways to change the quality of his core.
The first way was to use some extremely rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures to forcefully increase the quality of his core.
As for the second way, it was to break his golden core and cultivate again!
Most people would usually choose the first way. They would exhaust themselves and search throughout their lives in order to find such treasures. The reason was very simple.
The second way was too dangerous.
Not only did they have to relive the pain they experienced when they formed their gold core, but most people would fail in the process of breaking their gold core. From then on, there would not be any chance for them to advance!
Therefore, rather than taking risks, it was better to maintain the status quo. At the very least, core formation realm cultivators were still quite popular in the Eastern Plains.
Speaking of which, Victor followed the guards to the city lord’s mansion. Victor finally met the famous city lord of White Dragon City, Wei Heng!
However, his current state was like an injured lion. Although he did not have long to live, his power was still there.
“City lord, he’s here.”
“Got it. You can leave now.”
Wei Heng waved his hand and dismissed him. Then, he opened his turbid eyes, which shot out a sharp gaze, and looked Victor up and down.
“What… is your name?”
“Lin Bei.”
At this moment, Victor chose to conceal his ident.i.ty because he did not trust Wei Heng.
A person who raised his children to become parasitic worms was not worthy of Victor’s trust.
“Lin Bei? Hehe, Zhang Huang said that you have something to talk to me about, are you willing to talk about it in detail?”
“Of course.”
Victor nodded and explained, “City lord, I believe that you will be very happy to see Miss Wei Zihan become the city lord. Of course, if you are not willing, just pretend that I did not say anything.”
“Continue.”
“In a contest of martial arts, I have full confidence in winning. However, in the business segment, Miss Wei Zihan has no foundation and no background. It won’t be wrong to say that she’ll have a definite loss.
“But now, I have a way to solve this problem, but I need the city lord’s help.”
“How?”
“An auction! Whether it’s me or Miss Wei Zihan, our fame is not enough to attract others to partic.i.p.ate in the auction. However, the city lord is different. In the entire Central Plains, who doesn’t know the city lord of White Dragon City?
“Therefore, as long as the city lord is willing to hold an auction in his own name, I have the confidence to surpa.s.s others.”
“Auction?”
Wei Heng was a little shocked by Victor’s idea.
When Zhang Huang looked for him, Wei Heng was already prepared to take out one million spirit stones to help Wei Zihan. However, he did not expect that Lin Bei had really prepared everything. Moreover, it sounded pretty good!
“That’s right. An auction. In the name of the city lord of White Dragon City, an auction will be held seven days later. All cultivators will be invited to partic.i.p.ate. The city lord will naturally be able to auction off some treasures as a catalyst. This way, regardless of whether someone comes to buy or sell, it will be a considerable income for us.
“However, I hope that the city lord will release this news now to avoid arousing suspicion from others.
“The city lord can rest a.s.sured that you can entrust Miss Wei Zihan to handle the matter of the auction.
“As for me, I will also take out a very precious treasure to be auctioned off. The spirit stones obtained will be included.”
Victor bowed and revealed his entire plan.
Facing Wei Heng, Victor had no need to hide anymore.
After all, Wei Heng was a force that was worth fighting for. If he was willing, it was not impossible for Wei Zihan to take over the city lord’s position!
“Yes… Your idea isn’t bad. I agree. I will use the excuse of purchasing healing pills to hold an auction. I hope that you and Zihan won’t disappoint me.”
“City lord, don’t worry. I will definitely let you obtain a satisfactory answer.”
After saying that, Victor bowed and left the city lord’s mansion.
“This trip was not in vain.”
Victor’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile.
This time, not only did Victor get Wei Heng’s help, but he also found out about Wei Heng’s att.i.tude. As expected, he was optimistic about Wei Zihan inheriting the city lord’s position.
This way, Wei Heng would naturally take action to help them deal with some potential threats.
As for the treasure that Victor mentioned, he naturally would not give it away for free. Of course, he would ask Wei Zihan to compensate him with the same value after the event.
“Everything is ready, we only need one more important factor.”
