This truly shocked him, and judging by the situation, it seemed like seventy billion was not the limit for the other party. If he continued to follow through, an uncontrollable situation might arise.

"Hmph, so what if you hold it for now!"

The middle-aged man sneered, "I'll let you relish in your moment of triumph, but eventually, I will personally reclaim the King Stele!"

He had decided not to continue bidding, but to wait for the auction to end and then seize the King Stele by force.

After all, they were already mortal enemies, and killing and robbing were things they wouldn't hesitate to do.

Indeed, at seventy billion, such an outrageous price silenced everyone; no one was placing any bids.

In the end, the King Stele went to the Green-clothed Elder.

Upon hearing the final confirmation, the Green-clothed Elder also let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the item was finally in hand.

"Could they have just given up like that? It doesn't seem to fit their style!" The beautiful young girl was puzzled.

"This indeed doesn't fit their style. I suspect they're planning to rob it midway, trying to take the King Stele without spending a dime."

The Green-clothed Elder sneered, as he was all too familiar with their tactics.

For people like them, how could we not have defenses against them?

Saying this, a cold smile appeared on the corner of the Green-clothed Elder's lips because everything was going according to his plan.

As the final piece, the King Stele, was auctioned off, the entire auction came to a conclusion.

Several prominent figures stood up, preparing to leave.

At this moment, the auction elders spoke again: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's like this, that place is about to open again."

Upon hearing this, the ordinary martial artists showed puzzled expressions because they couldn't understand.

However, the elders of the major forces froze, then their pupils shrank sharply, and their faces showed shock.

They halted their steps and looked towards the rear.

"Is this true?" asked the elder of the Shen Family.

"This is news brought by the dean," said the auction elder.

However, those prominent figures frowned even more because now they could ascertain that there was a high probability this matter was true.

Nevertheless, the ordinary people around grew more confused the more they listened, standing there dumbfounded.

Lin Xuan was also astonished, his brow slightly furrowed, unable to understand either.

"What is that place? What matter could make so many prominent figures show such solemn expressions?"

He was very curious, realizing there were too many things he didn't know about this world.

Below, the prominent figures pondered for a moment, then resumed their steps, but this time, they weren't heading toward the exit but toward the auction elder.

"If the matter is true, it seems we need to discuss this thoroughly."

The elder of the Shen Family was the first to head over, followed by the elders of the Murong Family and the Green-clothed Elder, with the experts from the Sixth Grade Sect trailing behind.

These people could understand, and they naturally knew what that place represented.

Others, however, did not comprehend it, each showing a puzzled expression, but they knew they likely didn't have the qualification to know about this matter.

With endless curiosity, everyone left the auction unwillingly, not daring to act recklessly in front of so many prominent figures.

Lin Xuan was also very curious and wanted to go down and listen, but he knew it was impossible.

Those involved in this matter were supreme experts, and with his current status, he couldn't participate, but he thought that if there was something urgent, the Immortal Martial Academy would notify him.

Thinking this, he settled down and patiently handled the auction affairs.

At this moment, remaining at the auction, besides people like Lin Xuan who were insiders, there were also the younger generation from major powers.

It happened that as Lin Xuan and Wang Li just walked out, they saw Shen Yulong and others.

Seeing Lin Xuan come out, the cold young man from the Shen Family sneered, "I didn't expect you would dare to appear before us?"

"How daring, I advise you to hide away. With your level in alchemy, you're nowhere near enough in front of us!"

The cold young man was extremely arrogant.

"With you alone, you dare to be cautious of our Brother Xuan?" Wang Li snorted, his eyes filled with disdain.

"I can't, but our Brother Tianyu can crush him with just one hand!"

"What big talk, aren't you afraid the wind will blow you up!" Wang Li sneered, "A defeated opponent still daring to boast, if I were you, I would have long banged my head to death."

The two exchanged taunts, the atmosphere was a bit tense, yet neither Lin Xuan nor the handsome young man spoke, but the air grew increasingly cold.

However, the handsome young man had a face of arrogance; he turned to Shen Yulong and said, "Let's go, I came to Wind-Seeking City this time to witness the King Stele and to spar with some Seventh-grade Elixir Masters."

"For other matters, I'm not interested and aren't worth my interest."

He was very haughty, not regarding Lin Xuan at all.

At this time, Lin Xuan also spoke in a deep voice, "Exchange? Why don't we exchange!"

He really could not stand these people's attitude; they all acted like they were big shots, unknowingly thinking they were Pill Kings.

Just as well, Lin Xuan recently had new insights in alchemy and could use them as whetstones.

"Exchange with you? Are you worthy?" The handsome young man Shen Tianyu showed disdain.

"Whether I'm worthy or not, you'll know by trying!" Lin Xuan said coldly.

"Really ridiculous, a deceptive Sixth-grade Alchemist, how can he compete with our Brother Tianyu? Truly seeking death!"

"You must know, our Brother Tianyu is a genuine Seventh-grade Marking Pill Master, a seer figure!"

"I dare assure you, if you dare to bet, you'll surely lose so badly you'll be crawling on the ground!" The cold young man was very arrogant.

Generally, those at the level of Seventh-grade Marking Pill Master would be referred to as Elixir Masters, remarkably skilled in alchemy, highly revered by all major forces as distinguished guests.

No one expected that this handsome young man was a genuine Seventh-grade Alchemist!

Yet Lin Xuan sneered, Seventh-grade Alchemist so what, he now possessed the Ten Thousand Beasts Tripod, fully capable of refining Seventh-grade Elixirs, and the success rate was even higher than that of a genuine Seventh-grade Marking Pill Master.

It could be said that he had long reached the Grandmaster Realm.

Thus, Lin Xuan was completely unfazed by the other party, even if the other dared to provoke, he was entirely confident he could vigorously strike back, showing them what truly being an Elixir Master meant!

"Oh? There's an Elixir Master battle? I won't miss such a good event." Murong Qingcheng, as if a fairy, floated over, a faint smile on her lips.

She naturally knew Shen Tianyu's abilities, but she believed more in Lin Xuan and thought that if there were a real competition, Lin Xuan would never lose!

"Has Brother Tianyu made a move?"

At this time, the young generation from the Divine Bird Palace also approached. Seeing Lin Xuan, their expressions changed markedly.

Because they had life-and-death conflicts with Lin Xuan before, but since his identity had changed, they dared not act rashly, but the hint of killing intent in their eyes was undisguised.
