When everyone heard Aotian's words, they couldn't help but turn to look at him. Soon, a low murmur of discussion began:
"Who is this guy? So domineering and arrogant," said a pimple-faced Student with a frown.
"Hey, brother, keep it down. If you want to die, don't drag me into it!" a young man beside the pimple-faced Student hurriedly replied.
"Uh, senior, do you know who that guy is? Could you introduce him to me?" the pimple-faced Student humbly inquired.
"This brother here is the senior known as Aotian, ranked Sixth on the Inner Courtyard Rankings and the founder of the Starry Radiance Society!" the previous young man introduced to the pimple-faced Student.
Immediately, the Students beside him gasped in surprise:
"Is he really the prominent figure in Xuantian Academy? He truly is impressive!" a starry-eyed female Student exclaimed.
"Little girl, don't even think about it. Did you see that beauty next to Aotian? She's Snow Qincheng, ranked Fifth on the Inner Courtyard Rankings. You don't stand a chance."
"Hmph, if I have no chance, then you have even less..."
It must be said that Aotian currently holds great prestige in Xuantian Academy and has many admirers.
Just as everyone was discussing, Kong Qiu suddenly called out loudly:
"Is there anyone willing to offer a higher price for this Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower? If not, then it belongs to Aotian!"
Upon hearing Kong Qiu's words, everyone fell silent, but no one dared to compete with Aotian for the Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower.
This was quite normal; first of all, Aotian was at the peak of his power in Xuantian Academy. To bid against him would be to offend such a significant figure.
Secondly, Aotian's offer had already exceeded the value of the Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower, so the Students naturally wouldn't foolishly offer something of greater value to trade for it.
Thus, the Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower smoothly fell into Aotian's hands.
Of course, parting with a mid-grade martial arts technique was painful for Aotian; fortunately, he obtained Qiu Mingjie's Storage Ring. The latter had been part of an Adventure Team for many years and had accumulated a rich collection stored within the Storage Ring.
When Aotian took out a mid-grade martial art from Qiu Mingjie's Storage Ring, and the Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower finally fell into his Storage Ring, Aotian let out a heavy sigh of relief.
This was related to his cultivation, so Aotian was naturally very cautious. Fortunately, the process went smoothly.
"I'll trade this Heavenly Ice Pill for a mid-grade martial art." Just as Aotian obtained the Gathering Mysterious Demon Flower, Snow Qincheng suddenly pointed at an ice-blue pill among dozens of items and said.
Aotian was slightly taken aback, but when he saw the Heavenly Ice Pill, he felt relieved.
From this Heavenly Ice Pill, he sensed an immense cold energy. It was clear that Snow Qincheng had refined Mystical Energy with ice attributes, so this Heavenly Ice Pill would naturally be of great benefit to her.
According to Aotian's estimation, this Heavenly Ice Pill was likely a Third-Grade Pill. If Snow Qincheng fully absorbed the medicinal power within the pill, even if she couldn't break through to the Human Spirit Realm, she would be infinitely close to it.
Just as Aotian was pleased to have found something suitable for Snow Qincheng, a gloomy voice suddenly echoed:
"I'll offer five hundred thousand Contribution Points for this Heavenly Ice Pill."
When this voice sounded, all the students in the hall were taken aback. They clearly did not expect someone to dare challenge Snow Qincheng.
After all, Snow Qincheng was ranked Fifth on the Inner Courtyard Rankings and had a powerful Starry Radiance Society backing her.
Could it be that the owner of this voice had lost their mind? This was a common thought among all the students.
Everyone turned to look in the direction of the voice, and immediately, a figure came into view.
The figure was lean and had a sinister glint in his eyes, clearly not someone easy to deal with.
That gloomy voice had come from this Lean Young Man.
"Who is this person? How dare he provoke Senior Xue Qingcheng? Does he want to die?"
"Right? Offering five hundred thousand Contribution Points? Sounds like bragging to me."
"Hey, this person is quite a prominent figure in Xuantian Academy..."
"Brother, quickly tell me, who is this person?"
Aotian scrutinized the young man from head to toe, his brow slightly furrowed, a look of contemplation in his eyes as he seemed to ponder the identity of this individual.
"That guy's name is Martin. He is currently ranked tenth on the Inner Courtyard Rankings," Snow Qincheng whispered in Aotian's ear.
Aotian quietly asked, "Do you two have a grudge? He doesn't seem like a martial artist who cultivates the ice attribute Mystical Energy. What use would trading this Heavenly Ice Pill be to him?"
Snow Qincheng shook her head and replied, "I have no connection with him, nor any grievances. I don't know why he is getting involved."
Aotian fell silent, feeling somewhat shocked.
It should be noted that five hundred thousand Contribution Points is not a small amount. Even the top three Students on the Inner Courtyard Rankings would likely hesitate to claim they could easily obtain it.
However, when Martin called out for five hundred thousand Contribution Points, he didn't even blink. What does this indicate? It suggests that five hundred thousand Contribution Points are not that important to him at all.
Thinking this way, Aotian couldn't help but feel that Martin was not an ordinary person.
Of course, the Heavenly Ice Pill held immense value for Snow Qincheng. Aotian naturally could not let it go. Therefore, he called out on behalf of Snow Qincheng, "I will offer a high-grade low-tier Soul Martial Arts in exchange for this Heavenly Ice Pill!"
Upon hearing Aotian's words, the hall erupted in an uproar.
It should be known that the rarity of Soul Martial Arts far surpasses that of martial arts. A high-grade low-tier Soul Martial Arts is worth more than a high-grade upper-tier martial art; it is definitely not something to be underestimated.
Aotian produced a high-grade inferior Soul Martial Arts, the value of which far exceeded that of the Heavenly Ice Pill itself.
If relying solely on Contribution Points, without a few million Contribution Points, its value would definitely not compare to this high-grade inferior Soul Martial Arts.
And a few million Contribution Points, perhaps even a legendary Core Student wouldn't be able to produce that amount, right?
Sure enough, after Aotian mentioned the high-grade inferior Soul Martial Arts, Martin's eyes filled with coldness, and he snorted, no longer continuing to bid.
However, Aotian could see clearly that when Martin looked at him, his eyes were filled with mockery and killing intent.
Aotian couldn't help but feel a bit wary. Someone who could casually take out five hundred thousand Contribution Points likely had strength far beyond what he appeared to show...
Subsequently, Aotian selected a high-grade inferior Soul Martial Arts from the Soul Elder's inheritance and handed it to Kong Qiu, after which the Heavenly Ice Pill finally reached Snow Qincheng's hands.
The Soul Elder was a master of the Soul Path, and his inheritance was most notable for its Soul Martial Arts.
However, a high-grade inferior Soul Martial Arts was also quite precious to the Soul Elder. Aside from the Ninety-Nine Overlapping Waves, this high-grade inferior Soul Martial Arts could be considered one of the highest-level existences...
