335. Chapter 335: The Fourth Young Master

"Xiao Yun, take this distinguished guest to the No. 1 VIP room."

The old man shouted to the outside of the door, and immediately a beautiful-looking maid pushed the door and walked in.

"Sir, please." This maid made a gesture of invitation to Long Xuan.

Long Xuan nodded, followed the maid out of the door, and after the maid left, she didn't forget to close the door.

The sound of the door closing rang out, the old man's smile disappeared, revealing a look of extreme solemnity.

"Is there actually someone in this world who can refine a spirit pill that triggers a thunder tribulation?"

"I don't know whose handiwork this is. Triggering a thunder tribulation is one thing, but actually being able to protect the pill under the thunder tribulation? Even a Gu King Peak would find it very difficult to do, right?"

The old man showed a thoughtful look, and his expression became more and more solemn.

As his voice fell, a young figure slowly appeared from behind him and said:

"I think it's likely this person. My Invisibility Gu can't even be seen through by a Gu King Peak, but this person's gaze just now actually glanced at me, clearly having already detected my existence."

"This person is truly terrifying, worthy of being a figure who can shake the thunder tribulation; we must never provoke him."

The appearance of this person immediately made the old man stand up and say respectfully: "Fourth Young Master, why did you come in person?"

"The Sinful Land is truly too chaotic, full of villains everywhere. There are many demon cultivators who have the guts to intercept and kill our Qian Clan Merchant Association. You really shouldn't have come to this place to take risks."

"It's enough to have this old man here."

The old man looked at this young man, revealing a nervous look. If the Fourth Young Master really had an accident here, his sin would be great.

"No need to worry." The Fourth Young Master waved his hand and said confidently: "No one can see through my Invisibility Gu, including a Gu King Peak. That person just now was just an exception; how can there be so many exceptions in this world?"

"The Qian Clan Merchant Association wants to auction such a heaven-defying treasure as the Holy Tree here; how can I not come and see it in person?"

"The performance here is all counted toward me."

"Tell me, about how many Spirit Stones can this Holy Tree and this Heaven-Defying Pill be auctioned for here?" The Fourth Young Master asked with burning eyes.

After pondering for a moment, the old man said: "Priceless treasures have no price. How many Spirit Stones can be auctioned in the end depends entirely on how many Spirit Stones the buyer has at most."

"If the buyer has the two great empires competing with each other, with the financial resources of the two national treasuries, these two priceless treasures can easily be auctioned for tens of billions."

"That living wood was auctioned for a terrifying sky-high price of 40 billion precisely because a country participated in the bidding."

"If there are no national-level forces coming to participate in the auction, then it won't be able to sell for much money."

"How much money can a local force have? At most, it will be auctioned for 10 billion at the top."

"The Heaven-Defying Pill might be a bit higher than the Holy Tree, but limited by the buyer's financial resources, it won't be much higher."

Hearing this, the Fourth Young Master revealed a wry smile and sighed: "Then there's no hope."

"This Holy Tree was discovered by the three great empires of Central Earth at the same time, and for this, the three countries almost went to war."

"To avoid the suffering of the people, the three countries simply divided 90% of the Holy Tree's leaves equally, and the trunk was also sold for Spirit Stones and divided."

"The Sinful Land belongs to a place that the three great empires cannot govern, so the three countries felt relieved to put the Holy Tree here for auction."

"The Holy Tree at this time has long become a dead tree, leaving only a few leaves that are still somewhat valuable."

"The three great empires have already obtained the leaves of the Holy Tree, so naturally, they won't send people to participate in the auction again."

"Even if people from the royal family of one country come, without preparation, it's impossible to carry too many Spirit Stones."

"The major merchant associations that I know are the richest haven't sent anyone to participate in this auction."

"There isn't a single wealthy force in this auction, so these two priceless treasures naturally can't be auctioned for a higher price; it's a pity."

The Fourth Young Master's mouth suddenly hooked, a look of excitement appeared in his eyes, and he said slowly: "But it's better this way. Without wealthy forces participating in the auction, wouldn't it be cheaper for us?"

"Which force here can compete with my Qian Clan Merchant Association in financial resources?"

"This Heaven-Defying Pill is already in my pocket now."

The Fourth Young Master looked at the pill bottle already placed on the table with burning eyes, revealing a greedy look.

"Tsk tsk! A Heaven-Defying Pill that improves aptitude by two grades; how can I not be tempted? I am already Heaven-grade aptitude. Once I swallow this Heaven-Defying Pill, wouldn't I be the world's number one genius?"

The Fourth Young Master clenched his fists, revealing an ambitious look.

Hearing this, the old man was shocked. The Fourth Young Master actually had the idea of competing for the Heaven-Defying Pill at the auction.

People from the auction participating in the competition for treasures in their own auction, although not quite in line with the rules, can be done as long as they are not recognized.

Someone in the Qian Clan Merchant Association has already done this.

But he always felt that this was not a good idea; if it went wrong, something big would happen.

What kind of place is this? This is the Sinful Land, where villains are everywhere.

Once the Heaven-Defying Pill is auctioned into someone's hands, it's not that it might be killed for treasure, it's certain.

The attacks will definitely be more than one wave, and the greedy people attracted will be endless.

Even the Four Great Evils of the Sinful Land are very likely to take action.

These four are Gu King Peak, have committed countless evils in their lives, and their combat power belongs to the most top-notch existence among all Gu King Peaks.

Even if one of these four takes action, it's not something the guards of the Qian Clan Merchant Association can resist.

Although the Heaven-Defying Pill is good, it's too hot to handle; the person who gets it is very likely to lose their life.

"Fourth Young Master, please think twice! At least two of the Four Great Evils of the Sinful Land are already in the City of Sin."

"They were originally going to participate in the bidding for the Holy Tree, but now that there is a better Heaven-Defying Pill, they will definitely focus their attention on the Heaven-Defying Pill."

"Whoever takes the Heaven-Defying Pill will definitely attract the pursuit of these two."

"With the current strength of our Qian Clan Merchant Association in the City of Sin, we simply can't protect you!"

The old man's face changed at this moment, and he hurriedly tried to dissuade him.

"No matter!"

The Fourth Young Master's burning gaze was still on the Heaven-Defying Pill, and he said confidently: "I said, no one can see through my Invisibility Gu."

"Just now was an accident; such an accident can never happen a second time. Even a Gu King Peak can't find me in an invisible state."

The Fourth Young Master revealed a look of full confidence in his eyes and smiled: "At that time, I will arrange a batch of dead soldiers to escort the fake Heaven-Defying Pill away. When they are intercepted and killed, I will let the dead soldiers destroy the fake Heaven-Defying Pill."

"And in an invisible state, I can take the Heaven-Defying Pill away without anyone knowing."

"This plan is absolutely perfect; no one will be able to see through my plan."

However, the old man's expression at this moment was not relaxed, but full of worry. Can the Fourth Young Master's Invisibility Gu really deceive everyone? He sighed in his heart.

He already understood that this Heaven-Defying Pill had aroused the Fourth Young Master's greed.

The Fourth Young Master was now determined to plot for this Heaven-Defying Pill and could never be dissuaded by him.

At this moment, he could only pray that the Invisibility Gu could really deceive everyone and that no accidents would happen...

At this moment, Long Xuan, led by the maid, walked into the No. 1 VIP room.

He had also entered the VIP room of the Qian Clan Auction House when he was in the Western Lands.

All auction houses of the Qian Clan Merchant Association would build more than ten or dozens of VIP rooms above the auction stage.

This is the place where only those with the most status or those who can bring out heavy treasures are qualified to enter.

After all, a dignified Gu King Peak couldn't possibly squeeze together with the weak below.

At this moment, Long Xuan walked into this VIP room and felt very familiar with everything here.

The layout here was exactly the same as the VIP room he stayed in last time, except that the decoration was more luxurious and the tea and snacks on the table were of a higher grade.

He vaguely remembered that he was sitting in that place, and Long Ziyan was sitting on his lap.

Long Xuan hooked a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly seeing that the maid was still staring at him blankly, Long Xuan withdrew his expression and said: "Why are you still standing here? Get out. I don't need anyone to wait here."

After driving the maid out, Long Xuan sat back in the chair, his fingers tapping gently on the table.

He was thinking, who was the invisible person just now in the treasure appraisal room? Wearing a progress bar and wandering in front of him, he really thought he couldn't see it.

It's true that his clone can't see the progress bar, but the true body at a long distance can see it through the Heavenly Mechanism Eye.

He also has a wisp of the true body's split soul on him, and the information between the two can be completely shared.

This invisible person can deceive his eyes, but absolutely cannot deceive the true body's eyes.

Who exactly is this invisible person? It doesn't look like a thief. A thief should go to the treasure vault, not the treasure appraisal room.

It should be a person from the Qian Clan Merchant Association itself. Looking at his low realm, it should be some naughty young master or young lady, right?

Long Xuan smiled and didn't take this matter to heart, starting to wait for the auction to begin with peace of mind.

Time passed second by second, and just when Long Xuan was about to fall asleep, a commotion suddenly sounded below.

Long Xuan was suddenly awakened and hurriedly sat up straight.

"Is the auction finally about to begin?" Long Xuan whispered in his heart.

At this moment, there was a commotion outside the auction house.

A woman dressed enchantingly walked over, and all the Gu cultivators in front showed looks of fear, one after another giving her a path.

Many people were squeezed to the ground by surprise and cursed out loud, but when they saw the person coming, their faces changed quickly, and they retreated again and again.

"It's actually the Jade-Faced Rakshasa, one of the Four Great Evils. She actually came to participate in the auction too."

"This person practiced an evil art. This art has powerful side effects. She must drink human blood every day to survive, which means she must kill one person every day. She also got the title of Rakshasa precisely because she eats human blood."

"But this woman is a face-control and loves cleanliness, only looking for beautiful women and handsome men as blood bags. The number of beautiful women and handsome men who died in her hands is massive."

"Stay away from her quickly. Few people can match this woman's combat power. If you are targeted by her, you will definitely die."

As soon as this was said, all the beautiful women and handsome men in the crowd showed looks of horror and hurriedly covered their faces.

Of course, most of them didn't have self-knowledge; they clearly had an ugly face but were scared to cover their faces, for fear of being targeted.

"So she is the Jade-Faced Rakshasa, one of the Four Evils. I heard her evil name even when I was far away in the Northern Earth."

"She can only solve the side effect of having to drink human blood every day to survive by changing her cultivation art, right? Has she never considered changing her cultivation art?"

"You think it's easy? A cultivation art isn't something you can change just because you want to. She practiced the 'Blood-Sucking Demon Art' to have her current combat power."

"She definitely wouldn't consider a cultivation art weaker than the 'Blood-Sucking Demon Art', and how could a cultivation art stronger than the 'Blood-Sucking Demon Art' be so easy to find?"

"She has always wanted to change her cultivation art. I heard that she joined forces with the Burial Demon Old Ghost, one of the Four Evils, a while ago to find a cultivation art that can trigger anomalies in the Thunder Swamp, and I don't know if she found it."

"She just sucked a little beauty from the Yan Ting Empire to death yesterday. You tell me if she found the cultivation art."

Hearing the discussion from the crowd below, Long Xuan became vigilant and completely remembered this person's name in his heart. (End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 336 =====
