It was just a flat, emotionless sentence, but to Ling Qiu, it felt like falling into an ice cave, sending a chill down his spine.
For a moment, he was completely stunned.
No one expected that Lin Xuan, who seemed unremarkable, would actually be such a terrifyingly powerful being!
Is it the Great Emperor?
Or Ancient Emperor?
Or perhaps a stronger being at an even higher level?
Ling Qiu didn't know.
But he knew that the other party's attitude was very clear: they were standing behind that fat bastard Ji Mingzhu!
And he, and Ji Mingzhu, are mortal enemies!
Ling Qiu thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure it out: how could a fatso like Ji Mingzhu know such a person!
But now, it's pointless to try and figure out how Ji Mingzhu got to know this powerful figure.
He felt the gaze on him. Although there was no weight on him, he felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his back in an instant!
He even stammered when he spoke.
"I... I... I dare not, senior, please forgive me!"
Lin Xuan glanced at the other party indifferently, and seeing Ling Qiu's head almost bowed to the ground, he finally took pity on him and withdrew the oppressive aura he had placed on him.
The moment the oppressive aura subsided, Ling Qiu collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, his eyes filled with deep terror.
Just now, he almost thought he was going to die here!
Everyone else in the auction house remained silent, trembling with fear.
This includes the person at the auction house who possessed the cultivation level of a Great Emperor.
Logically speaking, if someone causes such a disturbance in the auction house and disrupts the auction, the Great Emperor, who is in charge of the auction, should immediately step in to stop it and punish the troublemaker.
but...
punish?
The Great Emperor silently disappeared, wiping away his cold sweat with lingering fear.
Why would he go and punish such a powerful figure?
You must be joking!
No one expected that this young man, who looked to be only in his twenties or thirties, would actually be such a powerful being!
What does this mean?!
Such an existence, such talent—there are probably only a handful in the entire Holy Heaven Domain, aren't there?
Many people secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, I didn't act like that kid from the Ling Household, who dared to offend anyone just because he had some connections.
Now things are much better.
They've really messed up!
Lin Xuan completely ignored everyone else and turned to look at the auctioneer.
"Shouldn't we be able to continue the auction for this Thearch Infant Pill now?"
The auctioneer on stage suddenly snapped out of his daze and hurriedly nodded.
"Yes... yes."
"Second, 2.11 billion Spirit Stone, for the first time."
"2.11 billion Spirit Stone, second time."
"Sold for the third time with 2.11 billion Spirit Stone!"
" The Thearch Infant Pill belongs to... belongs to you."
As the people waiting for the auction brought in the Thearch Infant Pill, Lin Xuan calmly withdrew his gaze.
He looked at Qu Youmeng beside him and said, "Is there anything you like? If so, feel free to buy it, and your master will pay for it."
Qu Youmeng is not pretentious.
She chuckled and said, "Then this disciple thanks Master in advance. However, this disciple still has some savings. If it's not enough, I'll ask Master for more."
Lin Xuan nodded casually.
Ji Mingzhu, who was standing next to him, finally came to his senses.
He swallowed hard.
" Senior Lin... I never knew you were this strong..."
He dared not call him Brother Lin anymore.
Lin Xuan casually shrugged.
He showed no outward sign of distress, but inwardly he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Ji Mingzhu's attitude eventually changed.
Even if he says he doesn't care about strength, it's unlikely that Ji Mingzhu will be able to return to his previous state.
He couldn't ignore the difference in strength between the two and continue to act so arrogantly in front of him.
What a pity...
Although he knew long ago that once his strength was revealed, Ji Mingzhu would definitely not treat him like a brother as before, he still couldn't help but sigh slightly.
He still prefers the chubby boy from before.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
The people who entered were auction house maids. The two of them respectfully presented a small jade box to Lin Xuan.
The other person didn't even dare to raise their head, only speaking humbly.
"Senior, this is the Thearch Infant Pill you purchased."
"And the Stainless Spirit Spring you photographed before is also here."
"Um."
Lin Xuan took out Storage Bag already filled with Spirit Stone, waved it to dismiss the maid, and then, after checking the Stainless Spirit Spring Thearch Infant Pill, casually tossed the box containing the Thearch Infant Pill to Ji Mingzhu beside him.
This thing wasn't of much use to me, and I only took action because the other party seemed like a decent person.
Ji Mingzhu instinctively caught the box thrown at him, but quickly realized what was happening.
He immediately handed over the Storage Bag he was carrying.
As he spoke, he expressed himself with utmost sincerity.
"There are only two billion Spirit Stone stones short of the two billion one hundred and ten million Spirit Stone you paid for the Thearch Infant Pill. Please give me some time, senior, and I will definitely find a way to raise the Spirit Stone and repay you!"
"My Ji Household will certainly repay this debt handsomely!"
His attitude was extremely respectful. Ji Mingzhu was not stupid; he knew that he was able to get the pill entirely because the other party took advantage of their nodding acquaintance.
He wasn't so ignorant as to accept a gift without any remorse from a powerful figure at the Ancient Emperor Realm, someone even an ancestor would look up to.
It's worth the Ji Household's best efforts to befriend him!
Lin Xuan sighed helplessly.
"No need."
He shook his head and said, "Such respectful behavior is really unlike the Ji Mingzhu I know who would call himself 'Young Master'..."
However, Ji Mingzhu lowered his head even further.
Seeing this, Lin Xuan knew that many people couldn't be presumptuous when dealing with powerful people, so he didn't insist. He shook his head and accepted the two billion Spirit Stone.
"I'll accept the two billion, but you don't need to give me anything else."
"I think there would be someone willing to make up for it for you."
