He would surely grow rapidly, his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds, surpassing the so-called Heavenly Talents around him. Chen Wudi and the others looked at Zhao Quxing's arrogant demeanor with disdain in their eyes.
With inadequate strength and talent, even if he joined the Heavenly Sword Sect, he would likely just be a bottom-tier figure.
Soon, both sides began to exchange. After Zhao Quxing paid the spirit stones, he received a special invitation from the Heavenly Sword Sect. The auction came to an end, leaving many in awe.
A single token had fetched four hundred fifty thousand spirit stones; the wealth of these Big Families was truly impressive.
Before long, the auction participants began to leave the grand hall one after another.
Yun Fan, shrouded in a black robe, exited the Treasure Pavilion auction. As he walked down the street, he couldn't help but reflect on the immense resources of the Big Families—spending four hundred fifty thousand spirit stones on a mere token.
If only he could possess such wealth, he could buy a Demon Beast Inner Pill and his strength would have already surged forward; perhaps he could even break through to the Xuan Yuan Realm.
Shaking his head, he dismissed such unrealistic thoughts. It was better to return and study formations, striving to break through as a Second-Rank Array Master, to strengthen his killing formations, venture into the Desolate Mountain Range to hunt demon beasts, and acquire Demon Beast Inner Pills to enhance his cultivation.
After walking for a while, Yun Fan sensed something was off; it felt as if a sinister gaze was fixated on him from behind. When he turned his head to look, that malicious gaze vanished in an instant. All he could see were people milling about on the street.
Yun Fan's brow furrowed slightly; that feeling was unmistakable—someone was definitely watching him. It was likely that as soon as he left the Treasure Pavilion, someone had followed him, perhaps driven by greed upon noticing the spirit stones he possessed.
He recalled spending forty thousand spirit stones on a Third-Grade Formation Plate; in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, he must have appeared as a plump target ripe for slaughter and plunder.
A cold smile crept onto Yun Fan's lips. If that was the case, then they shouldn't blame him for being unmerciful—his pockets were empty anyway.
He immediately headed toward a secluded street where it grew increasingly dim and shadows became sparse. Standing in a deserted alleyway with no one around, Yun Fan slowly came to a halt and turned back to face whoever might be following him, speaking coldly.
"After following for so long, it's time to show yourself, isn't it?"
The person hidden behind was momentarily taken aback by these words, surprise flickering in his eyes. He hadn't expected that his tracking would be discovered; this young man had quite the keen insight.
A middle-aged man stepped out slowly, his face expressionless. When Yun Fan saw this man's appearance, he was slightly taken aback—he recognized him. This was the same person who had competed with him for the Third-Grade Formation Plate at the auction.
He hadn't anticipated that this man would resort to murder and theft. After all, the Third-Grade Formation Plate was worth forty thousand spirit stones, a significant sum in anyone's eyes. Even those from the Xuan Yuan Realm might entertain thoughts of killing for it.
The Youming Master’s gaze was cold as his fierce voice echoed through the air. "We are fated to be strangers, yet you insist on contesting the Third-Grade Formation Plate with me. Hand over that Formation Plate, and I will let you leave unharmed. If you refuse, I will take it by force. Don't blame me for being ruthless if your life ends here."
As he finished speaking, the Youming Master’s aura erupted instantly, revealing his cultivation at the Peak of True Essence Realm.
Yun Fan listened to these words, a mocking laughter escaping from beneath his black robe, seemingly filled with disdain. This Youming Master was indeed arrogant; in the eyes of ordinary people, his Peak of True Essence Realm cultivation might seem impressive. But to Yun Fan, he was merely an insignificant figure.
