If Xiao Chen wanted to completely refine a King Grade Secret Treasure, he still needed to raise his cultivation. He could not rush this.
Soon, the maidservant returned with the Astral Core. Xiao Chen opened his eyes and thought for a while. Then, he prepared to leave this place immediately.
There were many people eyeing this Dragon's Gate's warship. It was hard to guarantee that no one would make a move on him.
After making his preparations, just as he was about to leave, Xiao Chen suddenly noticed the next auction item. It was an extremely rare Saber Monarch Grass, which could improve a bladesman's saber intent.
Xiao Chen immediately stopped. He decided to bid for this Saber Monarch Grass before leaving.
Little did he know, this decision in the blink of an eye prevented him from getting rid of some trouble.
In booth 36, the white-clad old man that Xiao Chen used to instantly destroy the Dragon's Gate's warship held a nine-colored disk in his hand as he continuously formed hand seals.
Nine different-colored circles were spinning continuously on the round plate. Waves of mysterious energy were surging into the round plate nonstop.
The white-clad old man's expression turned extremely grave. His eyebrows were deeply furrowed, looking like a large "chuan" character.
"Ka ca! Ka ca!" Beams of light shot out from the disk, and a scene appeared on the disk. It showed the booth Xiao Chen was in.
The scene showed a pretty maidservant bringing the Astral Core to Xiao Chen. Then, Xiao Chen put away the Astral Core and prepared to leave. "Ka ca!"
The old man stretched out his hand and pointed. The beams of light on the disk gathered and encased Xiao Chen. When the light faded, a green dot appeared on the disk, flickering continuously.
The white-clad old man relaxed his frown and heaved a sigh of relief. He said, "Alright, my Heavenly Secret Divination Disk has already planted a trace of heavenly secrets in him. Now, no matter where he runs, he will not be able to escape."
The ferocious-looking old man on the left asked, "Why did it take so long? The Heavenly Secret Divination Disk? Could it be that the other party sensed that trace of heavenly secrets and took precautions?"
The white-clad old man shook his head and said, "No, the cloak he is wearing is somewhat strange. It is ethereal and slippery like a fish. I spent a lot of effort to catch it."
The old man on the right said, "This fellow has quite a few good things on him. I wonder which sect's old monster he is from."
The three of them were inner sect Elders of the Heaven and Earth Sect. The Heaven and Earth Sect did not have any race requirements. They were rather famous in the Profound Domain and had considerable power. However, they were only slightly weaker than some sects and clans with Sovereign Martial Emperors.
The white-clad old man exuded a scholarly aura, looking very righteous. He looked at the Heavenly Secret Divination Disk in his hand and sneered, "We are alone. Even the old monsters of other sects will die if they encounter the three of us."
Inside the private room, Xiao Chen frowned slightly, feeling an inexplicable sense of irritation. He sent out his Spiritual Sense to check carefully. However, his expression remained unchanged as he continued to bid for the Saber Monarch Herb.
Bladesmen were a rather different group of cultivators. Xiao Chen did not have many competitors. He spent two million Astral Coins to successfully purchase this Saber Monarch Grass.
After Xiao Chen obtained the Saber Monarch Grass from the maidservant, he did not linger and left this place in a rush. Although Xiao Chen did not sense anything with his Spiritual Sense, he kept feeling that something was wrong.
After leaving the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion, Xiao Chen looked around. Then, he followed the crowd to the bustling streets, heading out of the city.
"Young Master Huang, that person left from the side door of the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion. He left before the auction ended."
In a restaurant across from the Flourishing Heaven Pavilion, a youth in embroidered clothes listened to the reports of two of his subordinates.
This youth was called Huang Bai. He was the son of one of the three grandmaster Alchemists of the Medicine God Valley. His talent in Alchemy was extraordinary as well.
This time, Huang Bai had come with the elders of his sect to make a deal with Ying Qiong. He had sent people to investigate in secret and discovered that Xiao Chen was only an Inferior Grade Martial Sage. Hence, he felt evil.
Behind the elders of his sect, Huang Bai prepared to make a fortune, be it twenty-five million Astral Coins, a complete Lunar Cassia Tree, or a peak Grade Immortal Spirit Ring.
Any one of these would be sufficient to tempt him.
Huang Bai nodded and said to the two beside him, "He is only an Inferior Grade Martial Sage. With the two of you being Medial Grade Martial Sages, you should be more than enough to deal with him. Make your move after you leave the city. I will wait here for your good news."
The two obeyed and left. They swallowed a Medicinal Pill, and their auras immediately vanished. With their Mental Energy, they found that their cultivation was no different from that of an ordinary person.
This was the rarely seen Aura Concealing Pill. After consuming it, one could hide one's cultivation for two hours. Even if the target discovered it, they would not care.
After leaving the city, Xiao Chen gently pushed off and landed on the ground in Leisure Feather City. After getting his bearings, he headed for the Tianwu Domain's Haotian Sect.
There were still many cultivators on the main road. Xiao Chen did not stop moving. However, the further he went, the more he deviated. This made the two cautiously following behind rejoice.
If there were fewer people, they would be able to make their move immediately.
Suddenly, the two were stunned. When they looked up, they discovered that Xiao Chen's figure had disappeared. Xiao Chen, who was clearly in front of them earlier, suddenly vanished. "Whoosh!
Whoosh! "
The two no longer carefully hid themselves. They quickly flew over to where Xiao Chen had disappeared and looked around.
"Strange, why can't I see him?"
The two exchanged glances, feeling suspicious in their hearts.
"Are the two of you looking for me?"
Suddenly, a voice rang out behind them. The two's figures flashed as they quickly turned around. When they saw Xiao Chen wearing the Heavenly Sea Cloak, who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, they were extremely astonished.
Under the cloak, Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile. His earlier actions and the aura he gave off had exposed the two's cultivation.
Just two Medial Grade Martial Sages wanted to target him? They were too naive. Xiao Chen's worries turned to nothing.
Back in the booth, Xiao Chen had felt that something was wrong. However, he could not detect it.
Only when he left the city and checked with his Spiritual Sense did he see these two "ordinary people." Only then did he understand.
It turned out that there were experts who had consumed Medicinal Pills to hide their cultivation and were following him.
When the two Medial Grade Martial Sages saw that they were exposed, they did not say anything more. Their auras burst forth, and a weapon appeared in each of their hands. Then, they pressed forward and charged at Xiao Chen.
If it were when Xiao Chen had just advanced to Martial Sage, he would have felt some pressure when facing two Medial Grade Martial Sages and would not have dared to attack rashly.
However, now that he had not been a Medial Grade Martial Sage for several decades, Xiao Chen would not fear regular Medial Grade Martial Sages. He had too many trump cards he could use.
After activating the sovereign bloodline in his body, the horrifying aura that Xiao Chen gained from the Rising Dragon Overlord Pill surged out. In an instant, a formless dragon roar resounded behind him.
As Xiao Chen's aura soared, the two Medial Grade Martial Sages suddenly felt a huge pressure bearing down on them. It was like they were facing an ancient sovereign overlord and not some Inferior Grade Martial Sage.
When Xiao Chen attacked, openings instantly appeared in his moves. He took a step forward, and his aura was like a mountain pressing forward step by step.
Vital Qi surged in his right hand. Using his fastest speed, Xiao Chen grabbed hold of the two's openings and attacked.
"Bang!"
Two crisp sounds of bones breaking resounded. Xiao Chen punched the two Medial Grade Martial Sages in the chest and sent them flying into the air. Blood leaked out of their mouths continuously.
"How can this be? We have Rank 1 Sage Bodies. He shattered our ribs with a casual punch."
As the two fell to the ground, they saw horror in each other's eyes. Xiao Chen was clearly only an Inferior Grade Martial Sage, but the aura that he burst out with instantly suppressed them.
His casual punch seemed to have more than two million kilograms of Vital Qi. This was simply horrifying.
Xiao Chen did not give the two any time to think. He pushed off the ground again, and the two wings on his shoulders moved in different trajectories in the air.
He moved so fast that only a blurry afterimage and two long afterimages could be seen.
All the Vital Qi in Xiao Chen's body surged like a flood, surging endlessly. With a casual punch, he could achieve one million six hundred thousand kilograms of force. Occasionally, he would explode with a force that could approach one million five hundred thousand kilograms of force.
The sound of his fists tearing through space was like a clap of thunder in the two's ears, causing their ears to buzz. The ripples in the air even affected the two's movements.
Fighting one against two, Xiao Chen held the absolute upper hand. The two could not see Xiao Chen's movements clearly. They could only see two undulating streams of energy spinning in the air.
Xiao Chen turned into many afterimages. As he attacked, his fists flickered, forcing the two back several times.
In less than a hundred moves, Xiao Chen severely injured these two and made them vomit blood. They became incredibly weak and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.
Xiao Chen stopped moving, and all the afterimages slowly vanished, revealing his true body. He said coldly, "With your insignificant cultivation, you dare to target my Dragon's Gate's warship? I really don't know how to evaluate you."
"What Dragon's Gate's warship? We are the Medicine God Valley's people. You'd best let us go. Otherwise, with the Medicine God Valley's connections, there will be no place for you in this world."
The two people on the ground spoke intermittently, trying to use the Medicine God Valley's position to pressure Xiao Chen.
When Xiao Chen heard this, his expression changed drastically. However, it was not because of the Medicine God Valley but because they did not know about the Dragon's Gate's warship. In that case, the strong enemy that made Xiao Chen feel strangely frustrated was someone else.
"Haha! Unexpectedly, the one who won the Dragon's Gate's warship alone is actually a little friend."
A voice resounded in the air. Xiao Chen looked up and saw a white-clad old man slowly descending from the sky. He looked around and saw two other old men in two other directions, sealing off his escape routes.
Xiao Chen checked the cultivation of the three old men, and his heart immediately sank. Unexpectedly, all of them were bona fide Superior Grade Martial Sages.
The white-clad old man looked at Xiao Chen and said sullenly, "Hand over the Dragon's Gate's warship and the cloak you are wearing, and I can spare your life."
Xiao Chen carefully sized up the white-clad old man in front. Then, he glanced at the two old men in the other two directions.
One of them looked ferocious and wore black robes. He had an indistinct, sinister smile on his face. The other wore green robes and had a skinny face with a small goatee.
Xiao Chen committed the appearances of the three to memory and evaluated their strengths. Then, he came up with a rough countermeasure.
