Divine King of Honour

It seems that great efforts have been made by Tianbao Pavilion to extract this Xuanhuang Qi.

Undoubtedly, the final result was a failure.

Therefore, they decided to auction off the Xuanhuang Qi.

"This strand of Xuanhuang Qi was brought back by an Earth Immortal expert of our Tianbao Pavilion from the depths of the universe. However, due to the extreme hardness of the external stone, we were unable to break it. But this Xuanhuang Qi is genuine." Mei Ji said.

"Unable to break it?" The surrounding people immediately showed disappointment on their faces.

If they could obtain this Xuanhuang Qi, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance their strength.

You should know that Xuanhuang Qi can not only strengthen weapons but also enhance a person's physical strength.

Achieve the Xuanhuang Body.

It is one of the treasures that both Body Cultivators and Spirit Cultivators covet immensely.

But now, if even Tianbao Pavilion cannot break it, then it is even less likely for them to extract the Xuanhuang Qi.

Even so, there were still people willing to give it a try.

After all, for many people, this Xuanhuang Qi might be a once-in-a-lifetime treasure.

Xu Nian was also very tempted, but he knew that with his current financial resources, it was impossible to obtain this Xuanhuang Qi.

"Let the auction begin! The starting price is one billion, with a minimum increment of ten million each time!" Mei Ji's voice rang out.

"What? One billion?" Everyone was startled.

The starting price alone was more than they could afford.

Xu Nian also smiled bitterly; the starting price was already more than all the Spirit Stones he had ever possessed.

"One billion and ten million!"

However, there was still a bid.

This voice came from Room No.5 of the Sky Private Rooms.

"One billion two hundred million!"

"One billion three hundred million!"

Following this bid, two more voices rang out in succession.

These voices were undoubtedly from the esteemed guests of the Sky Private Rooms.

In the Earth Sect Name, almost no one raised their hand to bid.

After all, such a treasure, even if they could afford it, might not be something they could keep afterwards.

Without Earth Immortal Realm strength, such a treasure in their hands would be a hot potato.

Guihai Tianxing also understood this, so he did not participate this time.

"One billion seven hundred million!" A voice came from Room No.1 of the Sky Private Rooms.

Jiang Lingye made a move.

He directly added four hundred million to the bid, causing many who still wanted to bid to give up.

"One billion eight hundred million!" The bidding continued from Room No.5 of the Sky Private Rooms.

Room No.1 of the Sky Private Rooms was silent for a moment, apparently having no intention of increasing the bid.

Everyone thought that the Xuanhuang Qi would probably go to Room No.5.

"Two billion!"

Just when everyone thought the result was decided, a majestic voice came from above.

The entire Tianbao Pavilion was momentarily shaken, and everyone looked up toward the fifth floor.

What?

There was someone on the fifth floor of Tianbao Pavilion?

How could this be possible?

That floor was reserved for Star Level VIPs only.

In the entire Taiheng Star System, there were no more than five Star Level VIPs. Each one of them could shake the entire star system.

This time, one unexpectedly appeared at the Tianbao Pavilion of this small Cloud Thunder Star.

If it weren't for his final bid, no one would have known that such a formidable figure was silently watching the entire auction.

Xu Nian was also extremely surprised to find that there was actually someone on the fifth floor of Tianbao Pavilion.

Although Xu Nian had never seen a Star Level VIP, he had heard of them.

Their strength was equivalent to Earth Immortal Peak; such figures were already at the pinnacle of the Cultivation World.

And now, he was so close to such a presence.

Mei Ji, on the other hand, was not too surprised because she had been informed of this esteemed person's arrival in advance.

She also knew that this esteemed guest came specifically for the Xuanhuang Qi.

The reason why this esteemed guest did not bid at the beginning was to give face to Tianbao Pavilion.

Otherwise, with just a word, he could have obtained the Xuanhuang Qi at the base price.

Who would dare to compete for a treasure with an Earth Immortal Peak expert?

"Alright, the final treasure, the Xuanhuang Qi, goes to the Star Level esteemed guest." Mei Ji did not count any further because she believed that no one would continue bidding.

A single stroke concluded the auction.

However, the audience's shock did not subside. They were all curious as to which of the five Star Level figures this esteemed guest was.

Xu Nian didn't think much about it. After exchanging for the Top-Grade Spirit Pill and Jadescent Nectar, he let Long Tian'er return to their residence alone.

He then went alone to the Purple Gold Building to meet this genius Sword Immortal.

Purple Gold Building was the most prosperous inn in Tianbao City.

At this moment, Xu Nian was sitting with Jiang Lingye at a window on the second floor of the inn, street-side.

Below them were bustling passersby.

Inside the inn, the onlookers were all extremely surprised to see Jiang Lingye.

The battle outside Tianbao City made everyone recognize this genius Sword Immortal.

They were all curious about who the young man sitting across from Jiang Lingye was, able to sit on equal terms with him.

Xu Nian was also somewhat nervous, given that the person sitting across from him was a genius Sword Immortal who could kill Earth Immortal experts with a single sword.

If the other party wanted to kill him, it would be a matter of a mere flick of the finger.

He had no chance to resist at all.

"Are you very afraid of me?" Jiang Lingye asked Xu Nian with a smile.

With his white clothes, along with a strand of white hair at his temples, he looked even more like an ethereal being.

"It would be a lie to say I'm not afraid. After all, sitting across from me is a genius Sword Immortal who can take down Earth Immortal experts with a single sword. I saw that battle of yours. The Seventh level of the domain is indeed a realm I cannot hope to reach." Xu Nian said with a bitter smile.

His words were heartfelt.

Of course, the fear he mentioned was more about reverence.

If Jiang Lingye really wanted to kill him, he would not flinch either.

"You're more interesting than I thought. The reason I know you is that someone mentioned you to me, saying you're the smartest genius in the world and if I meet you, I must take you as a disciple." Jiang Lingye said as he drank his wine with a meaningful smile.

His smile made Xu Nian puzzled.

"Someone mentioned me? Who?" Xu Nian was taken aback.

In the Cultivation World, he could count the people he knew on one hand, and the person who asked others to take him as a disciple definitely wasn't his Master, Bai Tianhan.

But who else could have access to someone like Jiang Lingye?

"Haha, you'll know when I say the name. It's Chen Wudi, the disciple of my senior brother. He praised you to the skies, so I came to take a look out of curiosity." Jiang Lingye said with a laugh.

"Chen Wudi?" Xu Nian was taken aback.

When Chen Wudi was taken away from the Cultivation World by a powerful being, it seemed he had new opportunities.

"Then, Senior Jiang might be disappointed!" Xu Nian said with a smile.

"No, you are more surprising than I thought. Chen Wudi wasn't wrong; your talent indeed exceeds mine. But I have still decided not to take you as a disciple." Jiang Lingye said with a smile.

"Why?" Although Xu Nian had no intention of becoming a disciple, he still asked.

Jiang Lingye smiled slightly and said, "Because you would make a great opponent. I don't want to lose such a rare opponent."

When Jiang Lingye said this, his eyes were filled with Sword Intent.

His gaze was incredibly serious.

Xu Nian was stunned and then smiled bitterly.

Jiang Lingye actually considered him as an opponent?

Wasn't that putting him on too high a pedestal?
