Spiritual Crane Fairy, who continued to emit various small spiritual crane illusions, slightly cupped her hands and said, "I never expected the esteemed Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Sect, Flaming Blade Duan River, to come to our Spiritual Crane Immortal City. As the host of this auction, Qu Qiao'Er was unaware of Brother Duan's visit and did not greet you from afar. I hope Brother Duan does not take offense! I never imagined that in just eighty years, Brother Duan had already advanced to the Late Stage of Earth Immortal Third Grade. This astonishing Cultivation Speed truly surprises and makes Qu Qiao'Er envious!"

Duan River, surrounded by flames, hid a trace of passion in his eyes. He glanced at the alluring figure of Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er, then revealed a calm expression and cupped his hands, saying, "Fairy Qu is too modest! Duan He only managed to advance from the Mid-Grade to Late Stage of Earth Immortal Third Grade after an eighty-year seclusion. It was merely a stroke of luck! However, Fairy Qu initially took just over six hundred years to cultivate from an Initial Tier Earth Immortal to Third-Grade Earth Immortal. This Cultivation Speed ranks among the top ten in the entire Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, and even the whole Central Divine Dynasty's Western Region!"

Upon hearing this, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er couldn't help but show a smile. If it were an ordinary Cultivator praising her, this fairy who had cultivated for nearly seven or eight hundred years wouldn't be much pleased. But the other party was the Vice Sect Leader of one of the thirty-two Immortal Sects of the Central Divine Dynasty's Western Region, the Fire Spirit Sect. Furthermore, Duan River was a veteran Earth Immortal, already at the Late Stage of Earth Immortal Third Grade. Receiving praise from such a person was naturally a cause for joy!

"I wonder what treasures Brother Duan plans to auction at this event in Spiritual Crane Immortal City?" Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er asked with a smile.

At this moment, the expression of this Third-Grade Earth Immortal Fairy was evidently much friendlier and kinder than the disdainful look she showed toward Lin Xuankong earlier!

Lin Xuankong didn't mind this. In this Cultivation World where martial strength was paramount, the strong were naturally respected by everyone, while the weak were ignored! His current strength, in the eyes of outsiders, was nothing more than that of an unremarkable Ninth-Layer Perfection Cultivator. It was entirely normal for these Earth Immortals to look down on him. It wasn't that Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er was purposely targeting or looking down on him! Hmm, any Earth Immortal Powerhouse would probably act the same in front of any Transcendence Cultivator!

Standing beside Lin Xuankong, Lii Xiaolan couldn't help but furrow her brows slightly. She looked at Lin Xuankong with some guilt, evidently feeling distressed because her husband was being neglected.

Lin Xuankong smiled and shook his head at Lii Xiaolan, indicating for her not to mind.

Seeing Spiritual Crane Fairy so friendly and kind, Duan River couldn't help but laugh. "I'm here mainly to help my junior nephew Chang Li acquire some Demon Pearls. Although he hasn't officially joined my Fire Spirit Sect, he has been cultivating under one of my junior brothers for years and is the most talented disciple under my junior brother, having cultivated from Transcendence First Layer to Ninth-Layer Perfection in just twelve years! This time, Chang Li plans to join Fairy Qu's Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect... But with the intense competition among the disciples of various Immortal Sects, I need to make some preparations for him!"

Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er nodded slightly, looking at Chang Li with admiration, and said, "I have indeed heard of him. It is said that among the forty thousand Tier Nine Cultivators in the initial assessment, he ranked in the top three! Those forty thousand Tier Nine Cultivators are all top geniuses among billions. Ranking in the top three among so many genius Cultivators demonstrates that his Talent is naturally far superior to others. He is a truly unmatched genius among billions! Yes, truly a man worthy of his reputation. Not only is his Talent far superior, but he is also exceptionally handsome!"

"Fairy flatters me," Chang Li smiled and slightly cupped his hands towards Spiritual Crane Fairy. "I often hear my senior uncle mention Fairy. Fairy also took only twelve years to cultivate from Transcendence First Layer to Ninth Layer. Such Talent is far superior to mine!"

Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er's two female disciples, Qu Qingling and Qu Qingfeng, glanced at this refined and graceful Chang Li with admiration in their eyes. As female disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, they were naturally very informed about the initial assessment situation some time ago and had long heard of this unmatched genius among billions! Although their Talents were also quite impressive, they were still far behind Chang Li!

Lii Xiaolan felt a bit suffocated at hearing this. Humph, taking twelve years to cultivate from Transcendence First Layer to Ninth-Layer Perfection... My husband, despite all sorts of medicinal shortages, still took just over three years to cultivate from a near-death state to Transcendence First Layer, then rapidly advanced to Ninth-Layer Perfection! Twelve years compared to three years—that's a huge difference! If my husband weren't so low-key, he would reveal his true talents right now and astonish everyone, including my senior aunt, those two senior sisters, and this Chang Li along with that little Flame fellow, making their jaws drop in amazement! Humph!

However, at this moment, Lii Xiaolan still didn't know that Lin Xuankong's Vigorous in Old Age Life Plate allowed his Cultivation Speed to continuously improve with his increasing age. At sixty, he could increase his speed sixty times! When he reached seventy, eighty, ninety, or even a thousand years old, the Cultivation Speed of so-called unmatched geniuses like Chang Li and Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er wouldn't even come close to Lin Xuankong's!

Spiritual Crane Fairy's female disciple Qu Qingfeng, pretending to be curious at this moment, interjected:
