Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

"Is this guy also at the Spirit Soul Realm?"

Hearing the sound, Lu Feng looked over and couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.

The old man in black robes possessed a remarkable aura of Yuan energy. Even from hundreds of meters away, he could still clearly feel the powerful, invisible pressure emanating from him!

This clearly shows that the opponent's Yuan Power cultivation has already reached the Spirit Soul Realm level!

However, compared to Jin Buhuan, who was at the third level of the Spirit Soul Realm, the old man in black robes in front of him was still slightly weaker, only at the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm.

"So the Five Great Elders didn't die after all...!"

Jia Youqian took a deep breath, then gently waved his feather fan, seemingly with some emotion.

"Brother Jia, what is the background of this 'Five Wonders Elder'?"

Lu Feng, standing to the side, was also somewhat curious.

Although Jia Youqian's Yuanli cultivation was far inferior to his, only around the third level of the Opening Meridian Realm, the other party was, after all, the young master of the Tianxia Merchant Guild, a quasi-seventh-grade power. His experience in the martial world and his insights were likely not low.

"This man is called the Five Absolutes Elder. Don't be fooled by his current strength. In his early years, he was just an ordinary bodyguard at the Jiangnan Escort Agency in the capital. He was not even as good as a Body Refinement Realm martial artist. But later, he somehow found a powerful opportunity and thus changed his fate against all odds."

Faced with Lu Feng's curiosity, Jia Youqian slowly explained, "Besides that, there are rumors about the sudden death of the Five Great Elders. Some rumors say that the Five Great Elders were hunted down and killed by a powerful force in the Eastern Xuan Region, while others say that he died of old age. There is even a rumor that the Five Great Elders secretly practiced demonic arts and eventually died from demonic possession."

At this point, Jia Youqian spread his hands outwards again, seemingly somewhat helpless.

Although many rumors in the martial arts world say that the Five Great Elders are long dead, he is actually alive and well, which shows that the rumors in the martial arts world are not credible!

"I didn't expect this old man to be quite famous..."

"He's more than just famous; the blood on his hands is countless. Even the Jiangnan Escort Agency, which used to employ him, doesn't dare to make a fuss, fearing his enemies will come knocking!"

Jia Youqian looked on with a sigh.

"Is that so?"

Lu Feng touched his nose, his gaze returning to the Five Elders below. A smile played on his lips. "However, judging from his appearance alone, this old man doesn't seem like a vicious and ruthless person..."

"Brother Lu, you're joking! This old man is far more difficult to deal with than he seems!"

Seeing Lu Feng's nonchalant attitude, seemingly disregarding the Five Great Elders, Jia Youqian looked helpless and then reminded him, "The reason this old man is called the Five Great Elders is simply because he's engaged in almost all five vices: prostitution, gambling, drugs, and murder. As for those enemies who offended him in the past, their graves are now overgrown with weeds!"

"I see."

Faced with Jia Youqian's reminder, Lu Feng merely nodded slightly, not paying any particular attention.

After all, a mere Five Great Elders wouldn't be enough to scare him out of his wits, especially since the other party was in a state of near death, and even with the cultivation of the Spirit Soul Realm, he couldn't unleash his peak strength.

...

Meanwhile, the auction for the "Dragon Elephant Killing Wheel" continues.

After all, a fifth-grade spiritual treasure is not an ordinary weapon that is commonplace; its value is still quite high, and even some experts at the Spirit Soul Realm would be tempted by it.

"One million once, one million twice, is anyone else going to raise the price?"

After the Five Elders opened the bidding, the scene fell silent. Jin Buhuan on the auction stage frowned slightly and immediately spoke up.

After all, a mere one million low-grade spirit stones barely offset the cost of a fifth-grade spirit treasure, and there's hardly any profit to be made. As for Jin Buhuan's commission, it's naturally very small as well.

"Fellow Daoist Jin, it seems that apart from myself, no one else is interested in this Dragon Elephant Killing Wheel. Please end the auction and continue to the next round."

Seeing the deathly silence around him, the Five Great Elders withdrew their gaze and looked at Jin Buhuan again, their tone still calm and composed, without the slightest humility.

Although his Yuan Power cultivation was not as good as Jin Buhuan's, only at the first level of the Spirit Soul Realm, as a fellow Spirit Soul Realm martial artist, it would not be so easy for the other party to threaten him with force!

Faced with the urging of the Five Elders, Jin Buhuan was slightly annoyed, but he did not refute it and could only wave his hand dismissively.

After all, the Dragon Elephant Killing Wheel can no longer fetch a higher price, but the auction must continue.

"Wait!"

Just as Jin Buhuan was about to announce the auction results, a cheerful male voice came from afar, causing everyone present to pause and look up.

"I'll raise the price by another 100,000, making it 1,100,000!"

Inside the VIP room, the man in the tight-fitting clothes spoke slowly, while Li Wenyang remained lying on the sofa watching the show.

After all, such a trivial matter as bidding doesn't require him, the young master of Yinyuan Pavilion, to personally intervene; he only needs to be responsible for paying the money at the end.

"He's a big shot in the VIP room!"

"Even these people have joined the bidding, could this 'Dragon Elephant Killing Wheel' really be that valuable...?"

"But this thing looks like a piece of junk, doesn't it? And its spiritual energy reaction is so weak, it doesn't seem like a fifth-grade spiritual treasure at all...!"

"It's hard to say. After all, the world of these rich people is beyond the understanding of a mere rogue cultivator like us..."

Upon seeing the man in the tight-fitting clothes make his bid, the group of independent martial artists below the stage began to whisper and discuss among themselves, clearly having become spectators, waiting to see how the situation would develop.

After all, one million low-grade spirit stones is no small sum, and most of the rogue cultivators present are only at the Qi Condensation Realm, lacking the financial resources to participate in the bidding. They can only watch from the sidelines for now.

"I'll offer 1.2 million!"

His gaze swept towards the VIP room where the man in the tight-fitting clothes was. The Five Masters Elder's eyes flickered slightly, as if a trace of killing intent flashed across them. The next moment, he spoke again in a deep voice.

"One million three hundred thousand!"

"you...!"

Before he could finish speaking, the man in the tight-fitting clothes raised the price by another 100,000, which made the old man of the Five Wonders' face darken and suddenly look ugly.

"Are you perhaps here to deliberately cause trouble?"

Suppressing the overwhelming killing intent within him, the Five Great Elder's gaze swept coldly over the VIP room where the man in the martial arts attire was located. His tone turned icy and murderous, "I don't want to see blood today. I advise you, sir, not to seek your own death...!"

Although the opaque floor-to-ceiling windows prevented him from seeing the man's face clearly, he could tell from his voice that the man was not very old and that his Yuan Power cultivation was not as good as his own.

"Young Master, this old man seems to be threatening us?"

Inside the VIP Dragon Room, facing the threat from the Five Elders, the man in the tight-fitting clothes frowned slightly, then turned to look at Li Wenyang on the sofa behind him.

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Wenyang could no longer sit still. She stood up abruptly, her face flushed red, like a rooster that had been provoked.

"Damn it! A nobody cultivator from some remote little country in the Eastern Xuan Region dares to threaten me in public!"

Li Wenyang rubbed his hands together, then glared angrily at the Five Elders not far below, seemingly wanting to establish his authority. "Normally, in the pavilion, apart from Father and Sister Haitang, no third person has ever dared to give me the cold shoulder..."

"You step back now. This young master is going to show this blind old fool the power of the Hidden Origin Pavilion!"
