They all wanted to see who had the guts to make a move, knowing full well that there was an Immortal Monarch bidding.

Even the mysterious young man who made the initial offer, and the Cold Moon Immortal, were no exception.

Despite their background and their regard for that Traceless Immortal Grass, if there was an Immortal Monarch willing to compete, unless it concerned the strategy of their Sect, they would never easily confront an Immortal Monarch.

Only Elder Qiao on the auction stage was smiling broadly at this moment.

Initially, upon seeing the Immortal Monarch make a move, he thought the auction for the Traceless Immortal Grass would end there.

But the outcome, to his utter surprise, was that someone unexpectedly joined in halfway through under such circumstances.

For him, or for the entire Tongan Auction, this was undoubtedly a good thing.

As for whether this would provoke the Immortal Monarch or lead to danger for those bidding afterwards, it was entirely outside Elder Qiao's considerations.

In his serious opinion, only his personal interests and the interests of Tongan Auction mattered most.

So, after his initial shock, Elder Qiao quickly and excitedly shouted:

"Fifty million, is there anyone willing to bid higher? You must know, this is an Immortal Spirit Medicine capable of helping Cultivators comprehend the great Dao, and a primary material for refining Expelling Dao Pill, fifty million once! Fifty million twice...!"

In a VIP room engraved with the number "Eight," a tall man with a pale face, wearing a black robe, suddenly had a somber look.

His expression turned grim, his eyes sharp as if seeing through everything, abruptly facing the room where Zhu Fei was, a golden light suddenly shot out from his pupils.

"Hmm? Such a well-shielded and isolated Array, could it be home to some Array Master, or some ancient monster in disguise?"

The pale-faced man frowned, pondered briefly, but eventually shouted: "Sixty million Mid Grade Immortal Crystals!"

"Sixty million Mid Grade Immortal Crystals! It's already sixty million Mid Grade Immortal Crystals, is there anyone who wants to bid higher?"

Upon hearing the pale-faced man's bid, Elder Qiao on the high stage became increasingly excited.

His gaze, moreover, passed through many rooms, landing directly on the room where Zhu Fei was.

Zhu Fei secretly cursed Elder Qiao for being unscrupulous, for such shameless manipulation.

However, he also knew that even if Elder Qiao wasn't looking his way, many people participating in the auction might have already figured out his room's location.

Especially just now, when the spirit of the pale-faced man directly targeted his room, Zhu Fei felt immense pressure, and the tremor of the Array Formation Restriction he set up both inside and outside his room.

This was the strongest person he had encountered so far.

Almost without any reason, this thought immediately popped into Zhu Fei's mind.

Despite knowing that continuing like this would surely lead to detailed investigation by the other party, or even merciless pursuit, Zhu Fei simply couldn't bother with it.

He gritted his teeth hard at that moment and resolutely said, "One hundred million Mid Grade Immortal Crystals!"

It's not that Zhu Fei didn't know how to slowly raise the price, or that making such an offer was a huge loss.

But he knew better that to dispel the other's desire to continue bidding, or to shift their attention from the Traceless Immortal Grass to himself, he had to do so.

Unless the other's purpose for attending the auction was indeed for the Traceless Immortal Grass, and they didn't plan on acquiring anything else at the auction.

If that were truly the case, Zhu Fei had nothing to say and could only use more daring methods.

Yet, he knew better still, as a strong figure, and one with significant status, reaching this bidding point, he likely wouldn't continue to compete with him.

At least, at this auction, he would no longer compete with him.

Sure enough, when Zhu Fei shouted the bid of one hundred million Mid Grade Immortal Crystals, the entire auction hall instantly fell silent again.

No matter how Elder Qiao stirred, shouted, or tempted, no one spoke up again.

Helplessly, he could only strike the auction gavel three times in succession, signifying the conclusion of the auction item.

"Whew—"

When Zhu Fei saw Elder Qiao heavily strike the gavel for the third time, he finally let out a long breath.

He truly feared some accident might occur during this process, should it happen, even if he ultimately acquired the Traceless Immortal Grass, the Tongan Auction would conduct endless investigations and searches, like the West City Auction he encountered before.

Fortunately, none of that happened.

After using the dedicated transmission array in his room to hand over his Immortal Crystals to the auction, Zhu Fei finally obtained the Traceless Immortal Grass as he wished.

This was a plant entirely silver-gray, with three leaves, but without any texture.

The so-called traceless attribute of the Traceless Immortal Grass comes from this characteristic.

Upon carefully examining the Traceless Immortal Grass and ensuring that the Immortal Spirit Medicine was genuine and without any Divine Sense Imprint, Zhu Fei then placed it directly into the Spiritual Medicine area of the Divine Tripod Space.

Once Zhu Fei finished all this, he no longer paid attention to anything happening at the auction, instead focusing all his thoughts on how to leave the auction.

Zhu Fei was clear-minded, knowing that after this incident, those noticing him, were likely more than one.

Especially the Cultivator with the Immortal Monarch cultivation, for whom there might be intense murderous intent besides anger.

After all, having one's item snatched away, Zhu Fei wouldn't believe there would be no reaction or action from the other side.

It was more likely that the other side had already started investigating him by then.

No! I must leave before they uncover my identity and situation.

If delayed any longer, even if I desire departure later, it might not be so easy.

With this thought, Zhu Fei no longer hesitated.

He swiftly changed hand seals, using numerous materials to create a duplicate with identical appearance and aura, before concealing himself and quietly exiting the room through a secret passage barrier he laid earlier.

Once Zhu Fei exited, he rapidly changed his appearance and form, utilizing the route he memorized especially when arriving, finally escaping the auction venue before anyone noticed.
