Ten Thousand Treasure Tower “Appeared!” Inside room number five, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured, Young Master Feng, this item will definitely be ours!” Sword Pattern Youth said, clenching his fist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside, people were talking animatedly, their words filled with excitement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the auction stage, the White Robed Elder pressed down his hand, quieting the whole hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ladies and gentlemen, this news comes from a map.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoever wins this map at auction will receive this information.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Moreover, I must tell you that this map is a fragmented one.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Robed Elder said solemnly, “Actually, deep down, he did not have much confidence, as a fragmented map might not necessarily reveal anything.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, upon hearing it was a fragmented map, many people hissed, their enthusiasm dampened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hall, ordinary martial artists were talking to each other, creating a noisy environment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An ancient map, starting bid at three hundred thousand Spirit Stones, let the auction begin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These martial artists hissed in unison, as it seemed to them that nobody would buy such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan shook his head and stood up, preparing to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three hundred and fifty thousand!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A voice erupted like a thunder shock, ringing in everyone’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone actually made a bid!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The martial artists stood stunned in place, wondering if that map indeed contained some records.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan also abruptly turned around, looking towards room number five on the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He recognized that voice, it was Lin Feng’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could it be he came specifically for this map?” Lin Xuan wondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three hundred and sixty thousand,” a lazy voice rang out again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was boiling; although they couldn’t afford it, they were thrilled to watch the excitement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after these two had made their bids, several other people started bidding as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These bidders were all VIPs from the second-floor rooms; to them, it was better to make a mistaken purchase than to miss out!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan shook his head, turned, and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These prices had long exceeded his capability, and even if he could obtain the treasure map, it might not necessarily remain in his possession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the temptation of a Spiritual Grade Treasure was too great, great enough to drive anyone mad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s departure caught the attention of many.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Dark-grade Intermediate Treasure, that too could make people’s hearts pound!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside room number five, Sword Pattern Youth stared at Lin Xuan’s departing figure, a sinister smile spreading across his lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What I desire, no one can take away!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was aware of those covert glances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scoffed coldly in his heart and quickly made his way to the backstage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His current strength could contend with a martial artist at the Late Stage of the Spirit Sea Third Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Autumn Trace Sword, even facing a martial artist at the Spirit Sea Fourth Level, he could fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he also had Bronze Gloves and a yellowed talisman treasure, both of which were powerful enough to kill a martial artist at the Spirit Sea Fifth Heavenly Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, he would not use them recklessly unless absolutely necessary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These objects would damage with each use; the Bronze Gloves already had a crack, which pained his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving backstage, Lin Xuan paid the Spirit Stones and received the Autumn Trace Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, get that black sword sheath into your hands!” Lord of Wine transmitted his voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan glanced at the black sword sheath on the jade tray — it was very ordinary, nothing special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if it was something that intrigued Lord of Wine, he naturally wouldn’t pass it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could you gift me this sword sheath?” Lin Xuan asked casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” The Ten Thousand Treasure Tower martial artist didn’t care about a sword sheath, and immediately gave it to Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After securing the sword sheath, Lin Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nodding his head, Lin Xuan was ready to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young friend, please wait!” An aged, robust voice called out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan stopped in his tracks, his eyes wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke in a deep voice, “What, is Ten Thousand Treasure Tower so reluctant to even give away a sword sheath?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t misunderstand, young friend, I’d like to have a chat with you,” said the red-robed old man as he appeared, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured, I am not here to demand any sword sheath, I merely want to have a talk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, about what?” Lin Xuan’s heart stirred.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed the backing of a powerful force to deter the mysterious green-haired man, and getting closer to Ten Thousand Treasure Tower would undoubtedly be the best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young friend, this way please.” The red-robed man smiled, laughing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan followed behind him, walking into a room filled with an ancient charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder if the young friend can remove his black robe?” the red-robed elder said, “I represent Ten Thousand Treasure Tower with a matter to discuss and have no ill intentions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright!” Lin Xuan said in a deep voice, sweeping his hand and storing the black robe in the storage ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed elder looked at Lin Xuan, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew Lin Xuan was young, but he didn’t expect him to be this young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was clearly just a youth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder what the elder seeks from this junior?” Lin Xuan politely inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ha ha, truly, heroes are young!” the red-robed elder stroked his beard and said, “I would like to ask if the young friend is a Rune Master.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying this, he looked at Lin Xuan with a face full of expectation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm.” Lin Xuan nodded, the old man’s gaze making him somewhat uncomfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you know about the Engraving Tower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan shook his head, “I have been practicing in the mountains with my master, and only recently started traveling.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For his own safety, he once again made up a story involving the fictitious master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m curious about who your master might be?” the red-robed elder asked, somewhat instinctively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My master keeps a very low profile,” Lin Xuan lied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I wonder what the elder actually wants with me?” he quickly changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed elder didn’t think too much about it, as many masters prefer seclusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he said slowly, “If possible, I would like to invite you to participate in a competition on behalf of Ten Thousand Treasure Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Engraving Tower is said to have been left by a Rune Grandmaster, located at the border between Xia Country and Ying Country.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Inside there are some unique engravings and the grandmaster’s insights, making it a holy land for Rune Masters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, due to its location, it cannot be claimed by any single country.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Therefore, every three years, Xia Country and Ying Country decide through a martial contest which side will enter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Our Xia Country has lost twice consecutively, and we cannot afford another defeat!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed elder’s face showed a hint of anger and helplessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it’s a contest, shouldn’t you seek someone else?” Lin Xuan was puzzled, “Wouldn’t the masters on the Hidden Dragon List be better?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You may not be aware, but although it is a contest, the participants must be Rune Masters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Hidden Dragon List has many talented individuals, but there are only a few Rune Masters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“And your Soul Power is the strongest I have seen, far surpassing your peers.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan understood; indeed, his Soul Power was much stronger than that of an ordinary First-grade Rune Master, not to mention his peers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Rest assured, if you participate, benefits won’t be lacking for you!” The red-robed elder hurriedly said, seeing Lin Xuan remaining silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside, Lord of Wine communicated telepathically, “Little Xuanzi, if that Engraving Tower is real, you might as well take a look.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s heart stirred, he pondered for a moment, then slowly asked, “When does the contest start?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I do not want to miss the grand event of the Wenxue Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, young friend, this contest will take place after the grand assembly of the Wenxue Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I win the contest, I wonder if I could obtain the qualification to enter the Engraving Tower?” Lin Xuan asked in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The red-robed elder paused, his expression suddenly grew serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strong aura slowly emanated, making the entire room incredibly oppressive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside Lin Xuan, his Spirit Sea trembled, emitting a roaring sound, as his Soul Power spread out, resisting the pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression unchanged, he slowly extended his hand, moving it through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An ancient engraving appeared in the air, emitting a strange glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is this?” the red-robed elder’s pupils constricted, shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>",1459,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","e95a41b880cd63bdfe7faf47baa0ae15601c7f7fdc3da1d7afd1a230dc105f3b","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-161","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-159",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
