the style of the engraving is somewhat different from the present ones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sensing it for a while, the Red Robed Elder said, “It should increase the attack by about forty percent, and it also carries rare flame damage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I estimate it could sell for over one hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones.” the Red Robed Elder stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s set the starting price at one hundred thousand low-grade spiritual stones, does that work for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan shook his head, expressing no objections.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had previously inquired with Lord of Wine and, adding his own calculations, felt it was acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here’s how it works: if the auction is successful, we will charge a commission fee of ten percent,” the Red Robed Elder continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it pained him somewhat, these rules were unavoidable for anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Lin Xuan’s ready acceptance, both elders were pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Robed Elder finished the registration and handed Lin Xuan an information card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After the auction ends, use this card to collect your spiritual stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he handed out a white token, “This is a Silver Token.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the auction is successful, you will become a Silver-level customer of Ten Thousand Treasure Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With this token, the commission fee for consigning items will only be eight percent next time.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan reached out and took it, then placed it inside his storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His hands were long, strong, and youthful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three people in the room were somewhat taken aback, seemingly not expecting the owner of the long sword to be so young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Robed Elder subconsciously attempted to probe, but a layer of force around Lin Xuan blocked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I was presumptuous!” the White Robed Elder apologized, indeed curious a moment ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the results of his investigation had only piqued his curiosity further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in the Black Robe before him actually possessed considerable Soul Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s fine,” Lin Xuan spoke indifferently, “If someone consigns a longsword treasure, could you notify me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem,” the White Robed Elder replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew some people preferred to trade underneath to avoid some trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having received a response, Lin Xuan turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Lin Xuan’s departing figure, the red-robed old man exclaimed, “Impressive Soul Power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So young, yet possessing such Soul Power, could he be the disciple of one of those old fellows?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Doesn’t seem like it, those people all carry an air of arrogance, but this person is quite composed!” the Red Robe Elder said gravely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Anyway, he will come again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If possible, it wouldn’t hurt to draw him over,” the White Robed Elder suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After leaving the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower, Lin Xuan checked into an inn and continued his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he grew tired of Engraving, he would cultivate the Longevity Technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once his Spiritual Power was replenished, he would practice Engraving again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He donned his Black Robe and headed towards the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the number of people heading to the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower was noticeably larger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The streets were crowded, and the entrance to the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower was packed solid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite the congestion, no one dared to fight in front of the Ten Thousand Treasure Tower.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan took out his Silver Token, and was respectfully welcomed by the attending maids inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid the envious gazes of many, he slowly walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who is that person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He can even use the special passage!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many people discussed spiritedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Lin Xuan entered, some others accessed through a special passage;
