On the 60th birthday of the system, my son’s engagement was annulled!

Were they heading towards the Heavenly Blade Sect?
Lin Xuan was taken aback when he heard this.

Then he smiled calmly again.

If he were truly after the Heavenly Blade Sect, Lin Xuan wouldn't have engaged in such a pointless act.

This behavior is no different from children playing house.

"boom!"

Suddenly, Mi Zhu, the young master of the Heavenly Blade Sect, unleashed a powerful punch at Lin Xuan.

This punch was extremely powerful, but its range was very small, delivering a sharp penetrating force with a single point of the fist.

"boom!"

Mi Zhu's expression suddenly changed drastically, as Lin Xuan had actually grabbed his fist.

"This……"

Those standing behind Mi Zhu couldn't help but gasp at the sight.

Mi Zhu, a half-immortal, unleashed such a powerful punch, yet his opponent easily caught it, as if an old man were playing with a child.

Upon seeing this, Xuanwu the Great Immortal thought to himself, "Just as I suspected."

The group of powerful figures standing behind Xuanwu Daxian all looked on incredulously.

"So strong!"

"Who is this?"

This question popped into the minds of countless people.

"I've never heard of you in Shenzhou. State your name!"

Mi Zhu casually withdrew his fist, hid his hands behind his back, and looked at Lin Xuan, speaking calmly.

Lin Xuan simply chuckled.

My name is Lin Xuan.

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking, he closed the door to the ninth room in the Heavenly Rank.

The members of the Heavenly Blade Sect felt utterly humiliated.

"Young Master, what should we do now?"

"Send the message back to the sect and inform the sect leader."

How could Mi Zhu possibly swallow this insult? He immediately lowered his voice and said.

"Yes."

In the end, the Heavenly Blade Sect could only slink away from the Heavenly rank and move to the Earthly rank.

Lin Xuan and the other two then sat back down in their seats.

The crowd, who had been expecting a good show, fell silent. They never imagined that the Heavenly Blade Sect would actually back down.

The saying "skill breeds daring" is certainly true.

As for Lin Xuan's identity, everyone began to speculate.

"Now, this is the auction of Xuanwu Auction House. There are not many items in this auction, only one hundred in total. However, in addition to these one hundred items, our auction house will put three thousand more treasures up for sale in the Xuanwu Hall after the auction. Now, our auction will officially begin!"

A half-immortal realm expert flew out from the Xuanwu Auction House and explained to all the guests.

"This situation is actually quite normal. Judging from the situation, there are tens of thousands of guests here this time. If there were only one hundred items for auction, then those in the yellow and black rank would basically have no need to participate. Most of these people are here for the three thousand ordinary treasures."

Upon hearing this, Qingfeng immediately explained the situation to Lan Zhantian and Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan could understand this situation. As for the ordinary treasures Qingfeng mentioned, they were only relative to them, but they were still extremely precious to cultivators of the Myriad Manifestations Realm.

"The first item up for auction is a supreme-grade Dao artifact, the Divine Void Sword!"

The Xuanwu Auction lived up to its reputation; the very first item up for auction was a supreme-level Dao artifact, which immediately ignited the emotions of countless people present.

The auction rules of the Xuanwu Auction are quite peculiar. Some items do not accept Yuan Stones and require an equivalent exchange or the presentation of Yuan Stones!
Source Stones are naturally the evolved form of Yuan Stones, and are also the cultivation resources needed for those at the Half-Immortal level and above.

Lin Xuan didn't have many source stones in his hands; after sweeping through the entire Holy Clan, he only managed to collect about ten thousand.

The competition among the one hundred items was fierce, with most ending up in the hands of those in the "Heaven" position, and only a few being snapped up by bidders in the "Earth" position.

As for those in the Xuan and Huang positions, they were basically just there to broaden their horizons and make up the numbers; they had no chance to actually fight.

The auction was now more than halfway over, and Lin Xuan wasn't particularly interested in the items that had been brought out for bidding.

Although Lin Xuan is only a half-immortal, he possesses far more resources and treasures than many of my veteran true immortals.

"The next item up for auction is Soul-Forging Grass. This is a treasure that only matures once every 1,800 years. It is said to be able to rebuild a broken soul. It is a true treasure for fellow cultivators whose souls are injured. Its effects are extremely miraculous. The starting price for this auction is fifty source stones."

The conversion between Origin Stones and Yuan Stones is incredibly high; one Origin Stone can be exchanged for 500 million top-grade Yuan Stones, and even then, they are priceless and unavailable.

No half-immortal would exchange source stones for spirit stones, because to a half-immortal, spirit stones are not much different from ordinary stones on the roadside.

Fifty source stones is already a very large amount, and those in the Xuan rank are simply abandoned.

"Fifty-one."

Seeing that seven or eight breaths had passed and no one had called for a clap, Lin Xuan started it too.

This was the first time Lin Xuan had asked for a bid, attracting a lot of attention.

Many people thought Lin Xuan was just there for fun, as he didn't make a move on any of the more than eighty items up for auction.

Although Lan Zhantian and Qingfeng were somewhat surprised that Lin Xuan had asked them to take pictures, they did not ask any questions.

The Soul-Forging Grass was of no use to Lin Xuan, but he felt it would be very useful to Lin Fan.

Lin Xuan had already sensed that his son possessed a soul entity, but he didn't know what that soul entity was.

Lin Xuan intended to find out the truth before the Thousand Pride Tournament. Although the soul had provided Lin Fan with a lot of help, Lin Xuan dared not entrust his son's life to a stranger. If something were to happen to him, he would have no way to explain it to his wife.

"Fifty-two Originium Stones."

A sudden sound came from the room in the "Earth" position.

The voice came from the Heavenly Blade Sect.

The war between the Heavenly Blade Sect and Lin Xuan has reignited once again.

Lin Xuan merely glanced at the room of the Heavenly Blade Sect, his heart remaining completely unmoved.

"Fifty-three."

"fifty-four."

Fifty-five.

Fifty-six!

No matter how much Lin Xuan shouted, the Dao Sect would always add a Source Stone after it, just to annoy Lin Xuan.

"Hmph, you dare to oppose me? I'll show you the strength of my Heavenly Blade Sect."

In the third room of the Earthly Branch, Mi Zhu, the young sect leader of the Heavenly Blade Sect, sat in the main seat. His eyes were full of killing intent, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura. Although he was very angry, his years of cultivation made him seem like nothing had happened.

However, those familiar with Mi Zhu knew that Mi Zhu's heart was already filled with murderous intent.

"sixty."

Lin Xuan continued shouting upwards, seemingly unaffected by the amount of source stones.

I thought that ten thousand or so source stones within the Holy Race were nothing, but today at the auction, I suddenly realized that ten thousand or so source stones seemed to be quite a lot. So far, the highest-selling item is a sword worth eight hundred source stones, which is at the level of a quasi-immortal weapon.

"sixty one."

Sure enough, Mi Zhu immediately added another one.

"Lin Xuan, this can't go on. That guy is clearly determined to get back at us, like a mad dog clinging to us." Qingfeng looked at room number three in the Earth section, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

Lan Zhantian sat in his seat, but his eyes were fixed on the room of the Heavenly Blade Sect.

Lin Xuan merely gave a cold laugh.

"one hundred!"

The two words echoed throughout the entire auction hall.

Everyone marveled at this. Although Soul-Forging Grass was a great treasure, selling it for 100 source stones was still too high.

"What an idiot, spending a hundred source stones to buy Soul Forging Grass, utterly foolish."

One hundred and one!

Mi Zhu sneered inwardly, but still felt unsatisfied, so he immediately added another one.

Then a silence fell over the arena, as if Lin Xuan had given up.

"Damn it! Were those guys setting us up on purpose?!"

A half-immortal from the Heavenly Blade Sect suddenly spoke up.

Mi Zhu was also taken aback upon hearing this.

If Lin Xuan doesn't continue, then they will have to spend 101 source stones to buy the Soul Forging Grass!
This is a huge loss, and they also need to save the source stones for the real treasures later.

"One hundred and one Originium, for the first time!"

"One hundred and one Originium, for the second time!"

"The 101st one..."

By the time Mi Zhu arrived here, his heart was in his throat, and he hated Lin Xuan even more, wishing he could fly up and kill him immediately.

"One hundred and two."

Lin Xuan suddenly spoke again.

The whole place was in an uproar.

Mi Zhu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems this guy needs this Soul-Forging Grass."

Mi Zhu wanted to raise the price again, but the old man beside him immediately stopped him.

"Young Sect Master, if that person has reached his limit and we continue to raise the price, and he gives up, then this Soul Forging Grass will be stuck with us!"

Mi Zhu thought it made a lot of sense and ultimately chose to give up. After all, Lin Xuan had already gained forty or fifty more source stones, which was already a huge victory.

"Since no one else is bidding, this Soul-Forging Grass will be won by the esteemed guest ranked ninth in the Heavenly Rank."

"Hmph, that damned Heavenly Blade Sect, they're really asking for death!"

Lan Zhantian snorted coldly, stood up, and looked down at the three rooms below.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to act arrogantly."

Lin Xuan shook his head slightly.

Lin Xuan didn't really take the so-called Heavenly Blade Sect seriously.

At worst, it's just a True Immortal Realm expert known as the Sword Immortal overseeing things.

Lin Xuan is no longer afraid of True Immortals. Once Lin Xuan advances further, then the so-called Sword Immortal will be nothing more than that.

"Now comes the highlight of our auction, which I'm sure everyone is here for these treasures."

Upon hearing this, everyone perked up.

Several more half-immortal realm experts appeared on the scene, and the Xuanwu Immortal stood at the very back, in charge of the entire venue.

"This item will be a true treasure, a genuine celestial artifact, the Sky-Splitting Gauntlets!"

A pair of boxing gloves were placed on the table, gleaming with dazzling golden light and emitting an extremely sharp aura.

This is indeed a genuine celestial artifact.

It's unbelievable that the Xuanwu Auction House can even offer immortal artifacts. No wonder almost every major power has sent several half-immortals to the auction.

If such a treasure is auctioned off, then it certainly deserves some respect.

"These fists are genuine celestial artifacts, so I probably don't need to introduce them to you all further. Just take them home and study them carefully."

The Xuanwu Auction is that straightforward. Immortal artifacts don't need much explanation, as they are rare treasures throughout the entire Divine Continent. Every time they appear, they attract a group of powerful figures who fight tooth and nail for them.

"The starting price is 500 Origin Stones. Each bid must be at least 50 Origin Stones higher. You may now raise your bids."

As the words of the Xuanwu Auction House faded, the rooms in the "Heaven" tier were the first to be auctioned.

"Five hundred and fifty Origin Stones!"

"Six hundred!"

"Hmph, the Blood Robe Cult offered seven hundred."

"I, Chuyun Valley, offer eight hundred."

"The Golden Sword Sect offered nine hundred source stones."

"This is a fist fight. What are you doing getting involved, a sect that uses swords? Three Paths Palace, one thousand source stones!"

Five hundred source stones quickly surpassed one thousand, heading straight for three thousand source stones.

Lin Xuan crossed his arms and looked at the bidding, showing absolutely no interest in it.

Lin Xuan already has several immortal artifacts. He even received immortal artifacts as a reward from the system. Adding his own, he has quite a lot.

Furthermore, the quality of his own immortal artifact surpassed that of the so-called Sky-Splitting Gauntlets, which made Lin Xuan even less interested in the Sky-Splitting Gauntlets.

Qingfeng and Lan Zhantian also looked down on it.

After all, Bai Xiaosheng's former president was an incredibly ruthless person who could suppress the entire Divine Continent. Even when the Holy Clan attempted to unify the Eastern Continent, they never had the idea of ​​eliminating Bai Xiaosheng, fearing that the former president of Bai Xiaosheng would return.

Such a force naturally has immortal artifacts left behind. The immortal artifacts that can be kept after being selected by the Hundred-Knowledge Master are the best of the best, so naturally they wouldn't look down on those immortal artifacts.

"Three thousand six hundred Origin Stones!"

In the end, the Sky-Splitting Gauntlet was sold to the Blood Robe Sect, one of the eighteen major powers, for 3,600 Origin Stones.

"Next item: Immortal magic, the Seal of Ten Thousand Buddhas Facing the Sky!"

"This 'Ten Thousand Buddhas Facing the Sky Seal' is no ordinary immortal technique. It is said to have been created by the ancient gods and Buddhas of 100,000 years ago. Its power is extremely remarkable. Once mastered, it can even bring the miracle of ten thousand Buddhas shining upon the heavens!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became interested.

"The base price remains at 500 source stones, and each bid must be at least 50 source stones higher."

With the reserve price announced, everyone started bidding, but the bidding for the Thousand Buddhas Facing the Sky Seal was less intense than that for the Sky-Splitting Gauntlets.

The main reason is that the Sky-Splitting Gauntlets can directly increase a person's strength, but the Myriad Buddhas Facing the Sky Seal cannot.

Putting aside the difficulty of cultivating this immortal technique, even if one were to master it, if it were only a superficial understanding, it might not be as powerful as some supernatural abilities.

Moreover, cultivating immortal techniques requires a lot of time, but equipping an immortal artifact only requires a blood oath.

In this way, the allure of immortal techniques is naturally not as strong as that of immortal artifacts.

"These people don't know their stuff. I feel that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Facing the Sky Seal is much more valuable than that Sky-Splitting Gauntlet."

Qingfeng has sharp eyes and said with great certainty.

Lin Xuan smiled slightly, because Qingfeng was right. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Facing the Sky Seal was quite good, and it had already made Lin Xuan's heart flutter.
