Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er saw him say this and knew that this matter would probably not be resolved peacefully this time. She sighed quietly and tried to persuade, "Actually, they are just a few pieces of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade, Brother Duan. Why be so angry? If the amount of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade brought this time is not too much..."
Flaming Blade Duan River waved his hand, his expression growing even colder. "Fairy, you are completely wrong! Do you think I, Flaming Blade Duan River, could possibly lack a mere thousand-odd Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade? It's just that the reputation of my Flame Saber is more or less known throughout the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region! This female cultivator bidding for thirty-six Spirit Talismans must have heard of it! Since that's the case, yet she still dares to disrespect me, and in front of thousands of cultivators from various places at that, how could I, Flaming Blade Duan River, possibly swallow this insult!"
After saying that, he chanted spells continuously, and the Immortal Yuan around his body fluctuated endlessly. A few breaths later, the twenty red flame clusters on his right shoulder suddenly blurred. As his chanting continued, those twenty red flames became increasingly illusory and smaller, eventually becoming tens of times smaller than grains of sand, completely invisible to the naked eye! If it weren't for Lin Xuankong possessing the enhanced vision of the Eight Gates Celestial Eye, which could easily magnify things before him, he definitely wouldn't have been able to see those twenty minuscule flames!
In the next moment, Flaming Blade Duan River slightly raised his hand. Immediately, those tiny flames rapidly flew out of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's private box, heading towards the box of the female bidder!
"Twenty Bone-Burning Flames are flying over; at least a few of them will land on her. As long as one flame lands on her, even if she flees hundreds or thousands of miles away, she won't escape my tracking! As soon as she leaves the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's auction hall and reaches a secluded place, it will be the moment of her demise! Hmph, I want to see just how strong this person, who dares to disrespect me, Flaming Blade Duan River, really is, and if her strength matches her courage!"
After Duan River finished speaking, he looked at Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er. "Rest assured, Fairy. When I, Flame Saber, kill, it is always clean and efficient. Even the bones will be melted away instantly, causing no significant disturbance, and it won't trouble your Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect!"
Upon hearing this, Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er frowned. Though dissatisfaction showed in her eyes, she merely nodded slightly, sighed, and said, "Brother Duan, just make sure to keep it from becoming widely known. After all, this is the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's auction, and this Spiritual Crane Immortal City is also ours!"
Flaming Blade Duan River nodded slightly, the killing intent in his eyes already chilling to the extreme.
Seeing this, Lin Xuankong squinted his eyes.
Damn it! What kind of person is this! If you don't care about the thousand-odd Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade, then just keep bidding! What kind of skill is it to try and scare others by dropping your name? It's getting more and more shameless! And he speaks so audaciously, clearly thinking he's entirely in the right!
Heh, is Flaming Blade Duan River's reputation so resounding? Anyway, I've been in the Great Xia Dynasty for so many years and have never once heard of him! Besides, this so-called Bone-Burning Flame he mentioned is clearly a tracking method. A grand Third-Grade Earth Immortal's tracking method actually requires releasing twenty little flames? Are Third-Grade Earth Immortals' tracking methods so pathetic? If I were to track someone, a single, imperceptible wisp of red light could easily follow them for thousands, even tens of thousands of miles. And after achieving the Seventh Celestial Eye, I can even track multiple targets simultaneously! Tsk tsk, a Third-Grade Earth Immortal... I just wonder how powerful this fellow's Immortal Techniques are? Of course, being a Late Stage Third-Grade Earth Immortal, his Immortal Techniques shouldn't be weak. Additionally, his Golden Core's power should be able to contend with a Third-Grade Cyan Nether Immortal Sword. However, if one adds the Immortal Capturing Array formed by twenty-four Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts...
Lin Xuankong pondered secretly, while Lii Xiaolan next to him frowned deeply. This young lady, who had helped the elderly Lin Xuankong back then, was naturally an extremely kind-hearted woman. Now, seeing this Flaming Blade Duan River harboring murderous intent over a simple bid, she naturally felt extreme revulsion!
Too bad I can't beat him, otherwise, I'd definitely give this guy a good thrashing! What's most irritating is that Chang Li, who is always by Flaming Blade Duan River's side, seems to be frequently harassing Sister Ying'Er at Fuyuan Immortal Inn recently. Luckily, Sister Ying'Er has always been devoted to her husband, otherwise... One takes on the attributes of one's associates. With a martial uncle like that, this outwardly refined and gentle Chang Li is no good either; he's sanctimonious and extremely hypocritical!
At this moment, the auction of the thirty-six Late-Grade One Spirit Talismans on the stage had concluded, and an Immortal Servant of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect delivered them to the private box of the female bidder.
Seeing this, Chang Li and Flaming Blade Duan River's expressions grew even more sinister. Judging by their faces, they seemed to wish they could rush out of the box and snatch those Spirit Talismans immediately!
Qu Qingfeng and Qu Qingling, who had initially been quite close to Chang Li, exchanged a glance upon seeing this. A trace of disappointment surfaced in both their eyes. They admired Chang Li's talent and strength; after all, he was a truly exceptional prodigy among forty thousand talented cultivators! But so what if one was a prodigy? Such petty-mindedness and such a venomous nature made him someone not worth associating with!
Qu Qingfeng thought to herself: Truly, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. I had heard that the cultivators of the Fire Spirit Sect were quite domineering and initially thought it was just a rumor. Now it seems the people of the Fire Spirit Sect are more than just domineering; they are domineering, sinister, vicious, and shameless! Luckily, my sister and I haven't gotten too deeply involved with this Chang Li!
After silently sighing, they both moved a bit closer to Lii Xiaolan.
Next, the auction continued.
However, the thirty-six Spirit Talismans, which served as the opening act, were clearly the most attractive treasures in the first half of the auction. Although the following dozen or so auction items were also good—including a set of magical artifacts designed to deal with several Ninth-Layer Perfection cultivators, a Tier One Celestial Demon Bone that auctioned for two thousand Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade, and some medicines claiming to greatly restore True Qi—none matched the initial excitement.
Basically, the various treasures and Spirit Medicines appearing in today's auction were all items that could help cultivators display greater combat strength during the disciple recruitment ceremony!
As the auction gradually entered its second half, some of the truly valuable items began to appear.
"Ladies and gentlemen, next I will introduce to you an extremely magical elixir!"
Standing on the stage, the host from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect suddenly took out an elixir, pulsating with mystical runes, from the Ghost Frog Pouch at her waist.
"As everyone knows, whether it's the Spirit Platform Buddhist Sect or our Central Divine Dynasty, elixirs that can increase lifespan are extremely rare!
"Typically, Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines can only increase lifespan by sixty or seventy years at most. Even the Primordial Life Water blessed by the Smiling Bodhisattva of the Spirit Platform Buddhist Sect can only extend lifespan by a maximum of seventy years per Purification Bottle!
"Moreover, these elixirs and Primordial Life Water can only be consumed eleven or twelve times—or eleven or twelve bottles—before their efficacy drastically reduces! This means that normal elixirs can usually only extend a cultivator's lifespan by seven or eight hundred years at most!
"For Transcendence Realm cultivators, an increase of seven or eight hundred years in lifespan is naturally a great boon, but such an increase in lifespan is rather mediocre for Earth Immortals!
"The elixir I've heard of that provides the greatest increase in lifespan is the Longevity Immortal Pill, refined by the Alchemy Master of the Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect, the second largest Immortal Sect in the Central Divine Dynasty. It's said that one pill can increase lifespan by five hundred years!
"Unfortunately, that elixir is monopolized by the Ten Thousand Peaks Immortal Sect, and usually, to purchase one pill, it costs at least twenty thousand Profound Truth Jade!
"But now,
"Our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect has a mysterious cultivator who has brought one hundred Turtle-Poria Elixirs!
"According to him, he obtained this incredibly magical elixir from an Immortal Ruins. This elixir can extend lifespan by about two hundred years, and it remains effective even after consuming thirty pills!"
As soon as the female cultivator said this, the entire auction hall fell silent.
Every cultivator's gaze fixed on the elixir in her hand.
