Still, why should he tell anyone else about this!

Qu Qingfeng nodded slightly. "My master specializes in Artifact Refining. My junior sister Qu Qingling and I have followed him for many years, delving deep into Artifact Refining, and we're quite interested in this path. I'm curious, Mr. Mu, what Treasures have you refined? Have you personally refined any Magical Artifacts of a certain Grade?"

Next to her, Qu Qingling, as well as Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er floating in mid-air, all fixed their gazes on Lin Xuankong.

Seeing her question, Lin Xuankong couldn't help but show a slight hint of embarrassment. My skill in Artifact Refining is undoubtedly excellent, but personally refining Magical Artifacts? Forget Magical Artifacts, I haven't even refined Battle Armor. My time is usually spent either on Cultivation or eating; where would I find so much time? With Xiao Xiuyi, that 'skilled worker,' around, why would I ever need to lift a finger!

"Oh, I mostly focus on theoretical research. As for actual refining... there hasn't been much!" Lin Xuankong said.

Upon hearing this, Qu Qingfeng's pretty face froze slightly. Then, she shook her head, losing interest in conversing with Lin Xuankong.

Beside her, Qu Qingling, and Qu Qiao'Er flying in mid-air, also showed a change in expression, no longer having any interest in looking at Lin Xuankong.

Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er furrowed her brows slightly and spoke, "Lan, since he is your friend, bring him to our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's private box! Qingfeng, Qingling, stop wasting time chatting idly with him. Let's head into the auction hall. It's probably about to start. This time, Sister Wan'Er wants me to help her auction three kinds of Spirit Grass for Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills. We absolutely cannot miss it!"

Seeing the expressions of the three, Lin Xuankong felt somewhat bitter. These Female Cultivators from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, including that Earth Immortal, Spiritual Crane Fairy, are so pragmatic. They turned cold to this extent the moment they heard I hadn't refined any Magical Artifacts. If I hadn't claimed to be Lii Xiaolan's 'fellow townsman,' they probably would have stormed off on the spot...

Beside him, Lii Xiaolan saw Lin Xuankong being ignored by the three and furrowed her brows slightly. However, as she was accompanied by her martial aunt, who was at the Third-Grade Earth Immortal Realm like Qu Wan'Er, she couldn't act out, though her expression had already turned cold. If it weren't for her usually decent relationship with these two senior sisters and Qu Qiao'Er, knowing her temper of always protecting her husband, she probably would have sent them flying with a slap each by now!

At this moment, a man's voice suddenly sounded from not far away, "Oh, it's Spiritual Crane Fairy. Duan River greets you!"

The group turned to look and saw a white cloud floating towards them, upon which stood two Male Cultivators.

One of them was Chang Li, the Second Prince of the Xianluo Dynasty, whom they had seen outside the Fuyuan Immortal Inn before, a man possessing a unique bloodline. Currently, a small Earth Dragon Demon was coiled around his right wrist.

The petite Earth Dragon, about the thickness of an index finger, continuously emitted powerful waves, forming large amounts of gem-like Immortal Yuan Fluctuations around it and Chang Li. This was clearly the Initial Tier Demon King Realm Terrain Dragon that Second Prince Chang Li had been stepping on previously.

When a Demon enters the Initial Tier Demon King Realm, it becomes akin to an Initial Tier Earth Immortal. Not only can it easily transform to be thousands of zhang in size, but it can also shrink to the size of fine dust with a single thought! Transforming into a creature as thin as a finger was an exceedingly simple matter for it now. If it wished, it could likely turn into a speck of dust at any moment, even drifting into a human's nostrils and lungs to attack them from within...

The Earth Immortal Realm signifies a Human Race member Transcending Mortality and Becoming Immortal; similarly, the Demon King Realm signifies a Demon Transcending Mortality and Becoming Immortal. Their possessed strength and methods of attack become incredibly varied, far beyond what Low-Tier Demons can compare to!

Moreover, unlike human Cultivators, Demon Kings often possess naturally enormous bodies, which become even more terrifying when they enlarge themselves. Some Demons, in their original form, can reach several hundred zhang in length. For example, this type of Earth Dragon, at Tier Nine, already has a body over two hundred zhang long. Upon becoming an Initial Tier Demon King, once it activates its Demon Body, it can directly transform into a ten-thousand-zhang Earth Dragon.

Its destructive power during an attack is terrifying. It's said that when it rolls over, the land can collapse, easily destroying a small country. This can trigger violent tremors across thousands of miles, bringing horrifying disasters. Generally, only the unique rock formations deep within Boundaryless Mountain can withstand the rampage of such a Demon!

At this moment, even though this Initial Tier Demon King Level Earth Dragon had transformed into such a miniature, harmless-looking dragon, the Immortal Yuan Fluctuations it emitted still caused the surrounding Cultivators' expressions to change slightly. They quickly made way, not daring to approach the two men. The various Spiritual Birds and Exotic Beasts ridden by these Cultivators were so intimidated by the Earth Dragon's Immortal Yuan Fluctuations that they tucked their tails and dared not make another sound! Spiritual Birds and Exotic Beasts, unlike human Cultivators, possess a Demon's keen senses, making them more easily suppressed and influenced by the bloodlines and strength of powerful Demons and Cultivators!

Of course, it wasn't just Chang Li's Earth Dragon that made these Cultivators and their spiritual creatures extremely wary!

The tall, dark-skinned Cultivator beside Chang Li also had his body emit powerful Immortal Yuan Fluctuations. These fluctuations continuously formed illusory flame clusters of various shapes and colors, rapidly rotating around him! This was clearly a Cultivator who practiced Fire Attribute Immortal Techniques.

And, unlike Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er's rather restrained Immortal Yuan Fluctuations, this Cultivator was clearly quite ostentatious. The Immortal Yuan Fluctuations emanating from his body were extremely intense. Even from over a hundred feet away, Lin Xuankong, at the Ninth-Layer Perfection Realm, could still clearly sense the oppressive feeling and threat from those Fire-Attribute phenomena and fluctuations!

He's not an Initial Tier Earth Immortal, and definitely not a Mid-First Grade Earth Immortal like Galo Bodhisattva. He must be at least a Second-Grade Earth Immortal!

Lin Xuankong secretly activated the Eighth Celestial Eye to look, and his expression couldn't help but shift.

[Fire Bloodline Duan River: Remaining Lifespan 1,926 years and 97 days

Earth Immortal Third-Grade Late Stage, Immortal Yuan Amount 2,989/3,000

Path of Fire Comprehension Spirit Level, Cloud Qi Technique Comprehension Spirit Level, Cultivation Comprehension Upper Grade Low

State: Excellent]

This Cultivator practicing Fire Attribute Immortal Techniques was indeed a powerful Earth Immortal of the Third-Grade Late Stage!

Lin Xuankong had slyly checked Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er's information earlier; her attributes were:

[Spiritual Radiance Bloodline Qu Qiao'Er: Remaining Lifespan 2,127 years and 81 days

Earth Immortal Third-Grade Mid-stage, Immortal Yuan Amount 2,699/3,000

Path of Thunder Comprehension Spirit Level, Artifact Refining Technique Comprehension Spirit Level, Cultivation Comprehension Upper Grade Middle

State: Excellent]

Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er herself was an Earth Immortal at the Third-Grade Mid-stage, already ranking as the second most powerful Earth Immortal Lin Xuankong had ever encountered, only two grades weaker than Wine Immortal Chi Liuxia. Yet this Duan River was at the Earth Immortal Third-Grade Late-stage, even stronger than Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er!

Moreover, this Duan River, an Earth Immortal at the Third-Grade Late Stage, arrived with Second Prince Chang Li of the Xianluo Dynasty. Their relationship is clearly good. And that fellow Chang Li has repeatedly harassed my Third Lady Xiaoo Ying'Er...

As Lin Xuankong was thinking this, Chang Li glanced at Lin Xuankong, a trace of coldness in his eyes.

Just days ago, this bastard made me lose significant face in front of tens of thousands of cultivators outside the Fuyuan Immortal Inn! Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er repeatedly rejected me, refusing even to meet me, yet she alone invited this fellow into the Fuyuan Immortal Inn! Who knows how many cultivators are now secretly gossiping that I, Chang Li, am inadequate, far inferior to this Mu Shiba! I was just pondering how to deal with him recently, how to regain my standing before a large crowd of cultivators. And now, what luck, I've run into him at the auction. Perfect... Before I kill him, I'll first find a way to thoroughly humiliate him at this auction and vent this bitter resentment!

While Lin Xuankong and Chang Li were each lost in their own thoughts, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er carefully sensed Duan River's Immortal Yuan Fluctuations. A look of astonishment appeared in her beautiful eyes, followed by a touch of respect on her face.
