"If you bid again, you'd better watch out when you leave Mucheng!" the woman said coldly, her icy gaze sweeping over everyone before she shouted out "Ninety million!"

The price had almost exceeded the value of the silver phoenix soft armor. Seeing this, the old auctioneer was all smiles. However, after hearing the threat in the middle-aged beauty's powerful words, he frowned and quickly said, "Esteemed guest, our auction adheres to the principles of fairness and impartiality. Please do not intimidate other guests during the auction!"

Chapter Thirty-Eight Bidding

Hearing the old auctioneer speak up and help her out of the predicament, the woman with the ghost face breathed a slight sigh of relief. The beautiful young woman glanced back at the old auctioneer with sharp eyes for a few breaths, and seeing that he was not afraid at all and met her gaze, the beautiful young woman finally gave a slight cold snort, sat back down in her seat, and stopped bidding!

Finally, the silver phoenix soft armor was sold for 900,000 gold coins to the masked woman. Seeing this, the surrounding onlookers sneered, all watching the masked woman with expressions of anticipation. The beautiful young woman might not dare offend the auction house, Blood Sect, but that didn't mean she wouldn't dare offend this mysterious masked woman. Just wait, once they left Mu City, she would definitely come looking for them.

Xiao Xuanyuan had originally planned to bid for the silver phoenix soft armor and give it to the women beside him. After all, since the armor appeared, the women's eyes had been shining with anticipation, and they had even been urging Xiao Xuanyuan to bid on it! However, he shook his head. He had his own plans. The other party was determined to get the silver phoenix soft armor, and he didn't need to fight to the death with them, lest he suffer heavy losses and not have the confidence to ask for the "Golden Dragon Beard" elixir later.

Having obtained the silver phoenix soft armor, the woman with the ghost mask was not in a hurry to leave. She remained in the auction house, seemingly unafraid of the beautiful young woman's threat.

Xiao Xuanyuan, who was coldly watching all this, chuckled a few times and muttered to himself, "Interesting, very interesting. I wonder if I could watch a show, brother?"

The auction continued, with the elderly auctioneer skillfully bidding on various items, consistently creating a highly enthusiastic atmosphere. As soon as one item was sold, another was immediately put up for auction. Frankly, the Blood Sect's auction this time offered a remarkably diverse and abundant array of items!

After auctioning more than ten items, the old auctioneer's expression became more serious this time, and even the maid who brought the items up this time was a very attractive person.

After the maid brought out the items, the old auctioneer slowly scanned the auction hall with his eyes, and said with a slightly serious expression, "The items to be auctioned this time are treasures specially brought out by our Blood Sect."

After a pause, looking at the eager gazes of the audience, the elderly auctioneer continued with a satisfied expression, "This item is a rare and precious spiritual herb called Golden Dragon's Beard. It's a spiritual herb needed by alchemists to refine high-grade pills. As you all know, rare spiritual herbs are priceless and hard to find; finding one is a matter of luck. As for the effects of Golden Dragon's Beard, let me elaborate. Even when eaten raw, it has the effects of promoting tendon healing, stopping bleeding, nourishing the soul, and restoring vitality..."

The elderly auctioneer gave a warm introduction, and then began the bidding: "Starting price: 150,000 gold coins; each bid must be at least 500 gold coins!"

If someone were to look directly into Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes at this moment, they would see two deep blue lights flashing within his pupils.

The Heavenly Eye, Xiao Xuanyuan's mysterious Heavenly Eye skill, has the ability to see through everything. Currently, apart from Xiao Xue, whom he cannot see through, there is no one on the Dou Qi Continent whose background he cannot investigate as long as he activates the Heavenly Eye!

After a brief scan by the Heavenly Vision Divine Eye, the information about the Golden Dragon Beard spiritual herb entered the mind: Golden Dragon Beard, a thousand-year-old, rare-level spiritual herb, with effects such as calming the mind and soul, promoting muscle growth and stopping bleeding...

"A thousand years old, I've struck gold this time..." Upon learning the situation, Xiao Xuanyuan was overjoyed. He never expected to find such a bargain here. You must know that in the Dou Qi Continent, spiritual herbs have always been scarce items for alchemists, let alone rare ones. Here, spiritual herbs are medicinal materials, which are divided into several levels, from low to high: common, rare, precious, holy, and legendary.

Rare-level medicinal materials are generally extremely rare and precious. Compared to rare, sacred-level medicinal materials are extremely rare. Moreover, a golden dragon whisker spiritual herb that has reached the age of over a thousand years can barely be squeezed into the sacred-level. As for legendary-level spiritual herbs, it probably refers to the peak level of the ninth grade. These kinds of pills have already possessed their own intelligence. As long as they have enough spiritual power, they can even transform into human form.

Hearing the old apothecary's explanation, Xiao Xuanyuan's mouth was practically watering. He stared longingly at the Golden Dragon Beard Elixir held by the beautiful young woman on the stage, wishing he could rush up and snatch it for himself. However, Xiao Xuanyuan knew that doing so would be unwise. The Blood Sect's ability to hold a place and gain a foothold in this Dusk City and the Black Corner Region was undeniable, given its profound foundation and strength.

What is his strength now? He's only a seven-star Great Dou Master. Facing such a behemoth would be a thankless and exhausting task. He'd probably only be able to save his life by running into Canaan Academy and hiding there. Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan stroked his chin, deciding to plan carefully and find another opportunity to strike.

Soon, the price of the Golden Dragon Beard Elixir, which originally had a starting price of 150,000 gold coins, was driven up to 200,000 gold coins by a group of knowledgeable experts. Moreover, the price was still fluctuating in increments of 15,000 gold coins, surging towards 300,000 gold coins like a tidal wave.

Xiao Xuanyuan took a deep breath, remaining seated and unmoved. Since rare pills like the Golden Dragon's Beard are typically discovered several hundred years ago, they already have a certain market price, around five or six hundred thousand gold coins. Moreover, the bidding is still fierce; intervening now would only be a waste of time. It's better to wait and see how high the price of the Golden Dragon's Beard will rise.

"Five hundred thousand!"

"Five hundred and one thousand..."

"Five hundred and fifty thousand!"

…The price kept soaring, eventually breaking through 600,000 and stopping at 630,000. At this point, the bidding frenzy began to subside, and more and more people gradually gave up bidding. Until the price reached 700,000 gold coins, only two people remained!

At this moment, Xiao Xuanyuan looked up and saw one of them was the beautiful young woman, and the other was a strange man with a purplish-blue face.

Xiao Xuanyuan frowned slightly. He secretly activated his Heavenly Vision Divine Eye and learned everything about the other party. He nodded slightly, feeling somewhat confident. He stood up, raised his bidding paddle, and shouted, "Eight hundred thousand gold coins!"

After Xiao Xuanyuan jumped the bid by 100,000 in one go, both of them raised their eyebrows and looked at where Xiao Xuanyuan was. When they saw that he was just a young man of about 20 years old, their expressions immediately turned ugly. They cursed inwardly, "How can even these greenhorns be allowed to enter this Mucheng Auction?"

Xiao Xuanyuan was unaware of what the two were thinking, but even if he did, he wouldn't care at all. A greenhorn? Heh heh, he's only fifteen years old now. In the Dou Qi Continent, sixteen is considered an adult, so he's still a minor! He just looks a bit older than his age. Due to his precocious nature and the many women he has, he looks much more mature, like an eighteen or nineteen-year-old young man, but he doesn't care about that.

Xiao Xuanyuan smiled in response to their probing gazes, but inwardly he sneered. Knowing them inside and out, did they think he would leave the group just because they were nine-star peak Dou Wangs?

Chapter Thirty-Nine: Stealing the Treasure

Indeed, after being observed by the Heavenly Eye, both the beautiful young woman and the strange man with a bluish-purple face were at the peak of the Nine-Star Battle King realm. Presumably, they had come here for the treasure. Xiao Xuanyuan knew from the fluctuations emanating from them that the two of them were currently trapped at a bottleneck, and judging from their somewhat stagnant aura, they must have been stuck here for quite some years.

The Golden Dragon Beard Elixir also has another function: it can help people break through bottlenecks. Of course, it only increases the probability to a certain extent, not completely guarantees it. That's why the two of them started bidding fiercely after hearing the old auctioneer's explanation of its effects, both determined to get the Golden Dragon Beard into their possession.

No wonder he was so nervous. But I am determined to get this Golden Dragon Whiskers and will never give up and leave it to the other party. Thinking of this, Xiao Xuanyuan's lips curled into a cold smile.

Gritting her teeth, the beautiful young woman glared at Xiao Xuanyuan before still bidding: "Nine hundred thousand gold coins!" The old auctioneer had already made it clear that threatening other distinguished guests was not allowed in this auction house, or they would be severely punished. Considering that this was Mucheng, the headquarters of the Blood Sect, the beautiful young woman could only restrain herself a bit.

The man, his face turning purplish-blue, also revealed murderous intent. He glanced at Xiao Xuanyuan and continued bidding in a cold voice: "Nine hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!"

"One million gold coins!" The beautiful young woman continued to raise the price, not far behind the man whose face was purple and blue.

Seeing the two of them determined to keep bidding, Xiao Xuanyuan frowned and ultimately decided not to place another bid. He didn't have enough gold coins on him right now. If he continued bidding, he would have to borrow from Fan Ling, the young sect master of the Blood Sect. How long had they known each other? Only two days. Xiao Xuanyuan couldn't guarantee that Fan Ling would be able to come up with the money after the auction. He was afraid that there would be trouble later. So, he put the idea aside for the time being.

As for obtaining this Golden Dragon Beard Spirit Herb openly, what if it's impossible after leaving this Twilight City? Heh heh, who knows what might happen then, Xiao Xuanyuan sneered inwardly.

Finally, after another round of bidding, the beautiful young woman successfully won the Golden Dragon Beard Elixir with a bid of 1.2 million gold coins. The man with the purple and blue face could only grit his teeth, glare fiercely at the beautiful young woman, and then turn and leave. It seems that he has decided to give up on the rest of the auction.

Watching the man leave, Xiao Xuanyuan seemed thoughtful, but he didn't pay much attention to it. He was mainly there to watch the excitement and didn't necessarily need to buy any items at the auction.

The bidding continued, and after each item that captivated Xiao Xuanyuan, the auction finally ended, and he left with the beautiful young woman.

As the auction was about to end, Fan Ling came over and said he wanted to talk to him. Xiao Xuanyuan declined, saying he had something to do at the moment, and left. As for the women beside him, Xiao Xuanyuan told them to go back to their residences first.

Before leaving, Xiao Xuanyuan glanced at Fan Ling thoughtfully, gave him a few words of advice, and then felt a little relieved.

Secretly following the beautiful young woman, Xiao Xuanyuan discovered that she seemed to be tracking someone ahead. Based on his judgment, that person appeared to be the mysterious masked figure who had previously purchased the silver phoenix armor.

It's truly a case of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind... Xiao Xuanyuan pondered. Since that's the case, he decided to strike together later and snatch everything from the other side.

Sure enough, as expected, the mysterious man wearing the ghost mask wandered around the city for a long time. After confirming that no one was following him, he took off the ghost mask in an inconspicuous dark corner. It turned out to be an extremely beautiful woman. She quickly changed her clothes and then strode out of the city in formal attire. Little did she know that two well-hidden people had already caught her tail.

After leaving Mu City, the beautiful woman rented a carriage and headed towards a main road.

They traveled in silence. Xiao Xuanyuan informed Yao Lao and then quickly followed. The carriage did not travel fast, and after about an hour, they arrived at a mountain forest. Ahead was the entrance to a passage, with cliffs on both sides.

Upon arriving at this point, the beautiful young woman finally couldn't resist taking action and quickly stepped forward to stop the carriage.

"I'm not going to waste time with nonsense. Just hand over your storage ring." After the pretty woman came out of the carriage, the beautiful young woman gave her a cold glance and sneered.

"Are you a highway robber? I wonder if you could make an exception? I'm willing to pay 10,000 gold coins to pass through." The pretty woman raised an eyebrow, sensing that the beautiful young woman opposite her was not someone to be trifled with, and decided to settle things with some money.

"Ten thousand gold coins? You think you can give money to a beggar?" The beautiful young woman continued to sneer. "At the Twilight City auction, you snatched the Silver Phoenix Armor from me. What? You've already forgotten so quickly?"

Upon hearing the beautiful young woman's words, the pretty woman immediately remembered the person who had threatened her at the auction—it was the beautiful young woman in front of her! No wonder she looked so familiar! Thinking of this, her expression changed drastically. She touched her finger, and a red light flashed, and a red diamond appeared in her jade palm.

"Since you want the Silver Phoenix Armor, then come and take it!"

"Alright!" Upon hearing the pretty woman's cold shout, the beautiful young woman responded, and a sharp longsword immediately appeared in her hand. With a swift movement, she attacked the pretty woman.

The pretty woman was not intimidated. She immediately unleashed her red ribbon and engaged in a fierce battle with her opponent. Seeing the situation was turning against him, the coachman dared not ask for his fare, lashed his whip across the horse's rump, and drove away.

Hidden in the shadows, Xiao Xuanyuan saw two women fighting. He chuckled and lay in ambush by the roadside, waiting to watch the spectacle.

A flash of Heavenly Vision appeared deep within his eyes, and he activated his Heavenly Eye Divine Power to see just how vast the difference was between the two women. To be honest, when Heavenly Vision was first inexplicably activated, Xiao Xuanyuan thought it was just an ordinary, lackluster talent skill. However, as he gradually cultivated and developed Heavenly Vision, he discovered just how amazing this talent skill truly was!

When fighting enemies, the Heavenly Vision Divine Eye can often preserve and record the scene of the battle between the opponent and himself. As long as Xiao Xuanyuan wants, he can repeat it in his mind, stealing all the opponent's supernatural abilities and fighting techniques. Even if there are any flaws or weaknesses in his own battle, this talent of the Heavenly Vision Divine Eye will continuously deduce them in his mind until Xiao Xuanyuan can fully learn and absorb them, until he is completely improved.

The skill granted by the Heavenly Vision Divine Eye is truly amazing. Not only can it steal opponents' fighting techniques, but it can also evolve and improve its own fighting techniques. For example, the "Gravity Fighting Technique" used to require Xiao Xuanyuan to trigger it in advance, and the fighting energy used would be consumed rapidly. However, with the skill granted by the Heavenly Vision Divine Eye, not only is the speed of execution much faster, but the consumption of fighting energy is also reduced significantly for the same power.

In addition, there is the Eight Extremes Collapse Fighting Technique, which not only strengthens the power of internal energy, but also adds several more strands of force, forcibly raising its level to a level that is infinitely close to the peak of the Xuan-rank fighting technique!

Chapter Forty: Rescuing People

Xiao Xuanyuan named this skill granted by the Heavenly Vision Divine Eye "Heavenly Eye Evolution," and it was one of his most powerful talents. Even when facing a Dou Huang-level powerhouse like Yun Yun, he could forcibly record the combat skills, turning them into combat images and storing them in his mind.

"Wow, what kind of fighting technique is that woman using? It's so awesome!" With the "Heavenly Eye Evolution" scanning the area, the beautiful young woman's swordsmanship was etched into his mind, leaving Xiao Xuanyuan speechless and secretly delighted. This swordsmanship is truly amazing! Not only is it dazzling and beautiful, but its power is also immense. If I could steal it and learn it in the future, that would be quite something!

Just as Xiao Xuanyuan was secretly clapping and cheering, the battle between the two women was nearing its end. Under the beautiful young woman's exquisite swordsmanship, her sword transformed into several blue lotus flowers, breaking through the pretty woman's red protective aura. The pretty woman was forced to retreat and cough up blood, seemingly suffering serious injuries.

Without a word, she used the force of the attack to retreat quickly. There were cliffs and forests not far away. She glanced at them, turned around, and flew into the forest, disappearing from sight.

"What? They actually tried to run away!" Seeing the other party escape, the beautiful young woman was both shocked and furious. She pulled her sharp longsword back from her arm, used a movement technique, and chased after them.

"It's over so quickly? Not enough fun yet..." Xiao Xuanyuan shook his head slightly. After a moment's thought, he decided to chase after them to see how his two prey would end up. However, as soon as he moved, Xiao Xuanyuan frowned. His powerful soul perception seemed to have detected something. Then he understood and continued to chase after them.

The beautiful young woman chased the woman to a canyon with a sheer cliff below, leaving her nowhere to retreat. Finally, the pretty woman was caught. She turned around, her eyes fierce as she stared at the woman who had been relentlessly pursuing her, and said sternly, "I can give you the Silver Phoenix Armor, but you have to let me go! Otherwise, even if I jump off this cliff, you won't get it."

Upon hearing this, the beautiful young woman sneered: "You're about to die and you still want to bargain with me? If you give me the treasure now, maybe I'll give you a whole corpse."

Upon hearing this, the pretty woman realized there was no way out. Without further hesitation, she summoned the Red Diamond in her hand, swallowed a pill, and charged forward with a furious roar, engaging the beautiful young woman in a life-or-death battle.

After taking the "Qi-Boosting Pill," her internal fighting spirit surged rapidly, expanding her dantian and causing her meridians to ache from the intense stimulation of the pill's released fighting spirit, turning her face bright red. However, precisely because of this, her strength suddenly increased dramatically, allowing her to fight the beautiful young woman to a standstill, or even gain the upper hand.

boom!

The beautiful woman unleashed a powerful attack with a crimson dragon. The ten-foot-long dragon transformed into a giant, fiery serpent, coiling and coiling around her opponent before delivering a final, devastating blow. The stunning young woman parried with her sword, but the dragon's relentless, violent attack, like a storm, overwhelmed her. Eventually, she couldn't withstand the onslaught, her breath becoming unsteady. She was struck hard by the dragon and sent flying backward, her foot landing on the ground. Her sword sank into the earth, leaving a long, deep furrow.

Looking closer, a trickle of blood had already seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Almost simultaneously, the beautiful woman slowly landed on the ground, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, suffering the backlash of internal injuries.

"You're quite remarkable to have injured me with the strength of a five-star Dou Wang. Judging from your age, you're only in your early twenties, so you must be a direct disciple of some sect. It seems I must eliminate you today, lest your sect come knocking on my door..." With that, the beautiful young woman no longer held back. Her long sword, combined with her hand gestures, produced a black scorpion with a large tail, which emerged from the tip of the sword and revealed its deadly pincers to the pretty woman as she charged forward.

With a gritted tooth, the beautiful woman bit her tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood onto Hong Ling. Hong Ling's red color became even more vibrant as her battle qi surged into it. She uttered a soft cry: "Dragon Serpent Overturns the Heavens!"

Hong Ling rapidly increased in size more than tenfold, instantly coiling around the giant black scorpion. The scorpion extended its pincers to snipe at Hong Ling. Both of them shone brightly, their battle auras exploding around them, and dust filled the air, obscuring their vision. But in Xiao Xuanyuan's eyes, everything was still perfectly clear.

The giant scorpion's pincers were incredibly sharp. Even with Hong Ling's enhancement, she couldn't withstand the opponent's powerful fighting spirit. After a difficult struggle, Hong Ling was finally cut in half by the giant scorpion's pincers. As Hong Ling was injured, the beautiful woman suddenly opened her mouth and coughed up another mouthful of blood. Her face instantly paled, and she became dejected.

At the same time, the giant scorpion, carrying a ferocious aura, slammed into the beautiful woman's defensive red tassels. Instantly, she felt as if a boulder had struck her chest, causing a surge of turmoil within her chest. Her defenses crumbled completely, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood, flying backward and crashing to the ground some distance away, her fate unknown.

Upon seeing this, the beautiful young woman snorted coldly, landing steadily to the side. She said coldly, "If you want to avoid trouble in the future, then don't blame me!" As she spoke, she held a long sword, the blade reflecting a dazzling cold light under the sunlight, and was about to raise the sword to kill the pretty woman.

"Now!"

Just as the sword was about to sever the beautiful woman's neck, a figure shot towards her. The beautiful young woman felt a cold wind behind her and was startled. She quickly retreated and rolled to the side to avoid the attack.

In an instant, a sharp beam of light shot out from where she had just been, and with a hiss, the rocks and grass there were completely incinerated into nothingness.

A glance revealed the scene after the beam of light, and the beautiful young woman felt a chill run down her spine. Had she been struck by that light, she would surely be in grave danger. Unconsciously wiping the cold sweat from her brow, she looked towards the attacker and saw a man shrouded in a black robe. His face was completely obscured, adding to his mystique.

"Who are you? Why are you ruining my plans?" The beautiful young woman, having recovered her senses, stared coldly at the other woman, her tone full of harsh rebuke. She seemed extremely angry, but because she didn't know the other woman's strength or background, she hesitated to make a move.

"I'll give you two choices! Either submit to me, or die!" Xiao Xuanyuan's voice was icy cold. Before making his move, he had been lying in ambush nearby, only emerging when the beautiful woman was severely injured and unconscious. Fortunately, he arrived in time; otherwise, the beautiful woman would surely be decapitated by now.

Upon hearing this, the beautiful young woman frowned deeply. What was going on? How had she gone from robbing others to being robbed? Was she being forced to submit? What was their motive? Considering her good looks, could it be…
