However, the starting price for this formation was ten Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, which quickly rose to twenty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones in a short time.
Xunuo watched with envy and hurriedly contacted Yan Zongtan to ask if he could participate in the bidding with pills. Yan Zongtan was troubled by the lack of pills to auction and was eager to enter the final bidding process. Seeing that Xunuo still had stock to auction, he readily agreed. They settled on a ratio of one pill for three Mid-Grade Spirit Stones to participate in the bidding for the Heaven and Earth Four Killing Formation. However, the Merchant Alliance would not charge a commission.
Xunuo knew that at the current price, he would take a slight loss. But considering that obtaining this formation might even allow him to ambush Insect Path's Foundation Stage Cultivator, ensuring his safety, he did not dispute the trading conditions proposed by Yan Zongtan. However, Xunuo put forth one condition: he wanted to keep his participation in the bidding a secret and have someone else bid on his behalf.
This was not difficult for Yan Zongtan; he arranged for an insider from the Merchant Alliance to place bids on the auction floor.
With Yan Zongtan's assurance, Xunuo immediately raised the price to forty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. This price did not scare off some wealthy Cultivation Families and affluent Loose Cultivators, and soon others began to follow suit with their bids. Xunuo then called out fifty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, which silenced most of the Cultivators. However, one Cultivator gritted his teeth and shouted out fifty-one Mid-Grade Spirit Stones. Xunuo promptly raised it to sixty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, causing everyone else to abandon their bidding thoughts.
After a Chengxin Alliance Cultivator quietly exchanged a Porcelain Bottle from Xunuo, Yan Zongtan announced loudly that an additional final item for auction was over ten Unity Pills. Instantly, those who had missed out on the pills became excited as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
Meanwhile, Xunuo quietly held onto the Heaven and Earth Four Killing Formation's Formation Flag and began refining it silently.
The Unity Pills were auctioned off one by one, creating an exceptionally lively atmosphere. Xunuo remained like a monk in meditation, oblivious to everything around him.
The Heaven and Earth Four Killing Formation consisted of a total of sixteen Formation Flags. Xunuo did not have time to refine each one individually, so he focused on refining the Main Array Flag first. Once the Main Array Flag was successfully refined, even if the other sub-Formation Flags were not refined, they could still exert part of the formation's power. However, without refining the Main Array Flag, the formation could not be activated.
The last two final items at the auction were a Flying Artifact and a Demon Beast Inner Pill. These two items were won by two Foundation Establishment Ancestors from different Cultivation Families. Xunuo saw no need to pursue the Flying Artifact. The Demon Beast Inner Pill was only useful for Cultivators above Foundation Establishment Stage in crafting or Alchemy, and its price was exorbitant; Xunuo could only watch.
Moments later, as the auction drew to a close, Yan Zongtan announced that it had officially ended. As soon as the doors opened, cultivators surged out like a swarm of bees. Xunuo followed the crowd and was among the first to exit.
The vast majority of Loose Cultivators did not use Beast Carts for transportation, and Xunuo, following the crowd, hurried on foot toward a city gate to exit. He had been warned by the Heavenly Dragon Society's Cultivator not to head southeast but instead to go toward the opposite city gate.
However, upon reaching the city gate, loud arguments could be heard from a distance. Xunuo looked over and saw several disciples from the local Cultivation Family guarding the entrance. They were checking individuals one by one, and at the forefront stood a Foundation Stage Cultivator.
Xunuo did not expect the Insect Manipulation Cultivator to resort to such harsh measures. As more and more Cultivators gathered at the gate, various discontented voices rose in protest. Even that Foundation Stage Cultivator seemed overwhelmed, struggling to maintain control of the situation.
Seeing this, Xunuo quickly joined in the uproar, stirring up even more chaos. The gathered cultivators united and surged forward, scattering those few Cultivators stationed at the gate. Taking advantage of the confusion, Xunuo lowered his head and hurriedly stepped out of the city.
Just as Xunuo's foot crossed the threshold of the gate, the Foundation Stage Cultivator suddenly widened his eyes and shouted, "Xunuo, where do you think you're going?"
Cursing his bad luck internally, Xunuo activated an Intermediate Flight Talisman and vanished from sight in a flash.
The Foundation Stage Cultivator turned to his two disciples and instructed, "You two follow closely; I will send a message to have the main subject follow."
The two Eleventh Layer Disciples responded affirmatively and released a Flying Artifact to pursue Xunuo.
Noticing that the two Cultivators were trailing behind him on their flying tools but still far back, Xunuo felt somewhat at ease. He decided not to rush into using his Against the Wind Boat just yet.
With so many Cultivators on the road, Xunuo was concerned about being targeted for this precious item. Additionally, he knew that the Against the Wind Boat had poor defensive capabilities; if some careless Cultivator managed to strike it, he would truly be in trouble.
The speed of the Intermediate Flight Talisman was still quite fast. In just a short while, it left behind other Loose Cultivators who had exited at the same time. Only then did Xunuo summon his Against the Wind Boat.
Initially, the two pursuing Cultivators did not pay much attention when they saw Xunuo summon his Against the Wind Boat. However, as they watched it rapidly distance itself from them at a visible speed, they became anxious and poured all their energy into chasing after him.
However, the speed limit of the Flying Artifact is determined by the materials used in its crafting and the methods employed. The Flying Artifact that the two of them possessed was not designed for extreme speed. Therefore, no matter how much they urged their magical powers, they could only watch helplessly as Xunuo sped away.
Xunuo was not concerned about the two Cultivators of the same rank trailing behind; instead, he worried about the approaching Insect Manipulation Cultivator. Sure enough, in an instant, Xunuo noticed a Flying Artifact that was no less formidable than the Against the Wind Boat appearing behind the two disciples of a Cultivation Family.
However, upon probing with his Divine Sense, Xunuo discovered that the newcomer was not a Foundation Stage Cultivator but rather Ni Bingmo, a fierce Loose Cultivator who had previously attacked him with Divine Sense.
Ni Bingmo followed closely behind Xunuo, not due to the bounty issued by the Insect Path but because of the Heaven and Earth Four Killing Formation that had attracted attention at the auction. The Cultivator who had been competing with Xunuo for bids was actually Ni Bingmo. A ruthless Loose Cultivator like him, with countless enemies, placed great importance on such offensive treasures. Xunuo's fierce bidding had left Ni Bingmo without the confidence to continue.
Yet Ni Bingmo was bold and meticulous. When he noticed someone from the Chengxin Alliance negotiating with Xunuo after the auction concluded, he quickly deduced that this person must be problematic. After the auction ended, he had been tailing Xunuo ever since.
When Xunuo realized that it was Ni Bingmo following him, he initially thought he was in cahoots with the other two Cultivators. A sense of frustration welled up within him; he still held a deep-seated fear of Ni Bingmo's Divine Sense attacks. Moreover, Ni Bingmo's dark Flying Artifact was absurdly fast, making it impossible for him to shake him off. All he could do was run frantically while remaining wary of the Insect Manipulation Cultivator's appearance.
After flying for a moment, the Flying Artifact controlled by the two disciples of the Cultivation Family grew increasingly distant from Xunuo while gradually closing in on Ni Bingmo.
