"After all, the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect and the Fire Spirit Sect are one of the Twelve Great Immortal Sects jointly suppressing the entrance to the Western Demon Sect. It is impossible for them to turn against each other over a single disciple! But the disciple behind me is different. Even if you injure me, you absolutely must not harm her!"

Flaming Blade Duan River sneered, "Heh, must not harm her? Could she be a disciple of one of the Supreme Elders of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect? Those seniors haven't appeared for a thousand years, and none of their disciples are Tier Nine Cultivators!"

Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er looked at Duan River resolutely. "She is my Senior Sister Qu Wan'Er, the True Disciple of Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er, and she is the most valued True Disciple of my Senior Sister Qu Wan'Er! As far as I know, my senior sister has already started to impart some of her Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill Alchemy Technique to her!

"You can touch the disciples of other Earth Immortals of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect. You can touch the disciples of our Sect Leader, my senior brother. But do you really intend to touch the most valued disciple of Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er?"

Flaming Blade Duan River, who originally had a gloomy face, was taken aback upon hearing these words. The flames swirling around his Flame Saber even trembled slightly. "She... she is the disciple of Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er, and the most valued disciple at that? Even the Alchemy Technique for the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill has already started to be imparted to her?"

Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er's face remained calm. "The Western Region's Twelve Immortal Sect Alliance has nearly 1,000 Earth Immortal powerhouses. But among these 1,000 Earth Immortals, only Yellow Earth Immortal from Medicine King Valley and my Senior Sister Qu from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect can guarantee at least one success out of ten attempts to create the Immortal Ascension Treasure Pill!

"You should be very clear about my senior sister's status in the Twelve Immortal Sect Alliance, Brother Duan! And her relationship with the Alliance Leader of the Twelve Immortal Sect Alliance? You should be well aware of that too!

"If you dare to touch her disciple, it won't just be the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's Sect Leader who will step in. Perhaps several of our Supreme Elders will be mobilized. Not only that, but Alliance Leader Chen, the head of the Twelve Immortal Sect Alliance, will most likely get involved too!"

Lin Xuankong listened from the side, greatly shocked. He had always thought that Young Lady Lii Xiaolan's master was merely an ordinary Late-stage Third Grade Earth Immortal, but he didn't expect this Earth Immortal Qu Wan'Er to hold such a prestigious status in the alliance formed by the twelve Immortal Sects, all due to her Immortal Pill Technique! Moreover, judging by Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er's words, it seems that Qu Wan'Er has some kind of relationship with the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Sect Alliance? What kind of relationship? Could it be that of a scoundrel and a beauty...

Although Lin Xuankong was filled with doubt, seeing Flaming Blade Duan River's arrogance immediately deflate after Spiritual Crane Fairy Qu Qiao'Er's words made him feel slightly more at ease.

Flaming Blade Duan River's expression kept changing. Finally, he shook the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact in his hand. The weapon, which had been ready to strike, immediately disintegrated into dust-sized particles and fell into his palm.

Afterwards, this previously arrogant and overbearing Late-stage Third Grade Earth Immortal turned, his face gloomy, and started walking outside.

His voice echoed from ahead, "My master has always had a good relationship with Fairy Qu Wan'Er. If not for that, I would have definitely taken that girl's life. This time, I'll spare her out of respect for my master!"

Second Prince Chang Li of the Xianluo Dynasty, looking utterly astonished, glanced at Lii Xiaolan and then quickly followed Flaming Blade Duan River outside.

He never expected that an intense battle, on the verge of erupting, would be instantly extinguished by the mere mention of 'Qu Wan'Er'! He was even more shocked that his Martial Uncle, who had always been rampant and unchecked across the various Immortal Cities of the Central Divine Dynasty's Western Region, would actually swallow his pride... If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, how could he believe it? That was a dignified Late-stage Third Grade Great Earth Immortal, the Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Sect, and he just backed down like that?

Before leaving the private box's entrance, he couldn't help but glance back at Lii Xiaolan, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes.

What he coveted most was naturally Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er. However, he thought, if he could win the heart and body of a Female Cultivator skilled in refining Immortal Ascension Treasure Pills in the future, that would also be an excellent outcome!

At this moment, Lii Xiaolan looked at the two figures leaving the private box, slightly raised her chin, and snorted.

Lii Xiaolan, although kind-hearted, always held a grudge against evil. Now that Flaming Blade Duan River was attempting to leave in disgrace, she naturally wanted to vent her frustration.

Flaming Blade Duan River, who was walking ahead, halted his steps upon hearing that snort. His expression turned even colder. Yet, thinking of Lii Xiaolan as the direct disciple of Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er, the infamous Flame Saber didn't even utter a harsh word and continued walking, disappearing in an instant!

Lin Xuankong, observing this scene, wore a peculiar expression. His Young Lady Lii Xiaolan has truly latched onto a very influential backer! Hmm, not bad, really not bad! It's a pity that Medicine Immortal Qu Wan'Er, having suffered emotional trauma and possessing a peculiar temperament, holds a lot of resentment towards male Cultivators. Otherwise, Lan could introduce her, and everyone could benefit from her support... Err, no, that's not right! I, Lin Xuankong, have achieved everything I have today through my own tremendous hard work, never by relying on anyone else! Do I, Lin Xuankong, need to cling to that Female Immortal's coattails? Absolutely not!

Feeling a bit joyful, Lin Xuankong's thoughts wandered. He then noticed that the countless Cultivators outside the private box were almost dumbfounded!

Who would have thought that the perpetually violent and rampant Duan River, a Late-stage Third Grade Earth Immortal, after being metaphorically slapped in the face by a Female Cultivator, not only didn't retaliate but actually left in dejection!

"This Lii Xiaolan must not be an ordinary person! Flaming Blade Duan River, known for being half righteous, half evil, was helpless against her?"

"Perhaps Lii Xiaolan is also a Third or Fourth-grade Earth Immortal? Otherwise, how could this be possible!"

"I doubt it. I've memorized the names of over thirty Earth Immortals from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, and I can guarantee there's definitely no Earth Immortal named Lii Xiaolan!"

"Maybe she's a Female Earth Immortal newly joined to the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, so they haven't announced it yet!"

"That doesn't seem right! If a new Earth Immortal joins the Sect, enhancing their strength, why would the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect hide it? They would definitely publicize it extensively!"

For a while, the Cultivators, initially silenced by Flaming Blade Duan River's intimidation, started discussing loudly as soon as he left. No one could help it; the scene unfolding before them was truly astonishing!

At this moment, the female host from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect standing on the platform spoke, a touch of excitement in her eyes, "Fellow Daoists, there was a little interruption just now. Next, the auction will continue! Hmm, just now, the bid from our Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect's disciple, Lii Xiaolan, was 1,250. Does any other fellow Daoist wish to make an offer? Rest assured, disciples of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect are permitted to bid in our own auctions; everyone is welcome to compete freely!"

Upon hearing the host's words, the Cultivators' attention was instantly redirected, their gazes falling on the ten Elixirs she held in her hand.

"I bid 1,600 Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade!"

"I bid 2,100 Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade!"

Soon, fervent bids echoed from various positions within the auction hall.

Inside the private box, Lii Xiaolan playfully winked at Lin Xuankong.

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly and then cast his gaze outside.

Although Lan has a powerful backer, and Flaming Blade Duan River probably wouldn't dare confront her publicly... However, Late-stage Third Grade Earth Immortals, having lived for at least thousands of years, are old monsters with formidable abilities. I cannot be careless, lest Young Lady Lii Xiaolan be secretly targeted by him! This time, I must acquire a large quantity of Demon Pearls so Miss Xiao can quickly refine numerous Immortal Artifacts. Preferably, she can craft a set for Lan as well! And that Flaming Blade Duan River, I'm afraid, doesn't just intend to deal with Lan. As for the Female Cultivator who was bidding earlier, since he left a tracking mark on her, he definitely won't let things rest! A Late-stage Third Grade Earth Immortal... I wonder if I'll have the chance to use him to test the effectiveness of the Immortal Capturing Array!

Thinking of this, a determined expression appeared on his face.
