Since Xiao Tianying had intervened, as the Xue Clan Grand Elder, Xue Rong could not punish Peng Wanchao severely. However, Xue Rong was also an immortal cultivator of the Dao Realm. Since he had personally intervened, he could not let Peng Wanchao off so easily.
In the end, Peng Wanchao was fined five million Five-Colored Primordial Stones and could not participate in the Hundred Cities Auction for the rest of his life.
Five million Five-Colored Primordial Stones!
Even for immortal cultivators of the Path Integration Realm, this was a huge sum. If he had not encountered Mo Wen, he would most likely only have spent two to three million for the feather of the Seven Star Heavenly Fire Fan.
Peng Wanchao could only swallow this. Even if Xiao Tianying helped him, he could not appear again for this kind of thing. He could only obediently hand over the fine.
"Damn it!"
Peng Wanchao looked at the private room Mo Wen was in, his eyes full of hatred. Just you wait. I will skin you alive and imprison your soul. I will make you wish you were dead, and I will torture you forever.
In the private room Mo Wen was in, Xue Kuan bowed apologetically and said, "Sir Mo Wen, I am really sorry. Peng Wanchao did not abide by the rules. Our auction house has already punished him. Our auction house apologizes again. Elder Xue Rong has instructed that the auction house will only charge a five percent handling fee for the few pills you put up for auction. "
The organizer naturally could not shirk the responsibility for such a thing happening at the auction. However, taking out a five percent handling fee as compensation was not a small amount.
The organizer had to take a ten percent commission for the items put up for auction. This intermediary fee was fixed and would only be reduced from the ten percent under special circumstances.
Also, any of the pills Mo Wen auctioned were priceless. A five percent discount was definitely a rather large sum.
"You are too kind!" Mo Wen nodded.
"Oh, right. The organizer can help you get rid of the Soul Brand that Peng Wanchao left on you," Xue Kuan said.
Peng Wanchao had gone against the rules of the auction house to leave a Soul Brand on Mo Wen. He was clearly prepared to take revenge on Mo Wen. Once the Soul Brand was planted, no matter where Mo Wen appeared, Peng Wanchao would be able to sense him immediately.
Also, it was very difficult to get rid of a Soul Brand left by an expert like Peng Wanchao. Even immortal cultivators of the Path Integration Realm would not be able to get rid of the brand in a short period of time.
"There's no need. I will settle it myself later." Mo Wen smiled slightly, and a cold radiance flashed in his eyes.
When Xue Kuan saw this, he was slightly shocked. He finally realized that the Mo Wen in front of him was not someone who could be easily bullied.
"Since Your Excellency Mo Wen does not need our Xue Clan's help, then I shall take my leave for now. As long as you stay in the city, I believe that Peng Wanchao won't dare to do anything excessive. "
Xue Kuan smiled and slowly retreated.
The inner city of the Sword Emperor City prohibited all martial power. A mere Peng Wanchao did not dare to make a move in the inner city.
Because Peng Wanchao had violated the rules of the auction, he was thrown out.
Meanwhile, Mo Wen continued to participate in the auction. Although the magical treasures and pills auction did not have the items he needed, the five pills that he had put up for auction had yet to appear.
As time passed, the auction was more than halfway done. The five elixirs that he had put up for auction were obviously very important and were placed at the back of the auction. At the same time, because of the Xue Family's publicity, the news of the appearance of the 10,000 Years Life Prolonging Elixir and the Energy Integration Elixir at the auction also spread.
"I heard that in this year's Hundred Cities Auction, many incredible pills have appeared. Even the Energy Integration Elixir has appeared."
At the auction venue, many people were already whispering to each other. The appearance of the Energy Integration Elixir and 10,000 Years Life Prolonging Elixir had clearly reached their ears.
"The Energy Integration Elixir! This is the first time I have seen someone auction such a pill. "
Another person exclaimed.
The Energy Integration Elixir was not the most valuable or precious pill in the magical treasures and pills auction. However, the Energy Integration Elixir was one of the rarest and rarest pills.
That was because in the Demon Realm, the Energy Integration Elixir was firmly controlled by some huge ancient factions. It was a pill that would never be leaked to outsiders. It was rather difficult for ordinary sects and immortal cultivators to obtain a Energy Integration Elixir.
"Someone actually auctioned the Energy Integration Elixir. Who exactly is it?"
"Could it be one of those ancient large sects?"
"That's not very possible. Those ancient large sects have extremely strict control over the Energy Integration Elixir. It is impossible for them to auction it."
"It is already rather abnormal for one to appear. For three to appear at the same time, this matter is most likely not simple. Send someone to investigate who exactly took it out."
…
News about the Energy Integration Elixir spread throughout the entire Immortal Clouds Sea. All sorts of rumors rose and fell. Even more people were frantically making their way to Sword Emperor City. The appearance of a pill that could not be bought normally was naturally a huge surprise for those who needed it the most.
In a secret chamber of the Xue Clan.
Xue Rong was in the secret chamber. However, the person sitting in the first seat was not him. Instead, it was a white-robed elder.
There were seven people in the secret chamber. Xue Rong, a dignified Virtue Realm immortal cultivator, could only sit in the third seat.
"Brother Xue Rong, have you found out the identity of that person?" The white-robed elder in the lead looked at Xue Rong.
"Clan Leader, that person's background is very mysterious. There is not much information about him in the Immortal Clouds Sea," Xue Rong said with a frown.
Actually, when Mo Wen took out the Energy Integration Elixir and 10,000 Years Life Prolonging Elixir, the Xue Clan had already started investigating him. It was not that the pills that he took out had shocked the entire Xue Clan. For Path Integration Realm immortal cultivators, the Energy Integration Elixir was basically useless. They could only buy it to nurture their juniors. As for the 10,000 Years Life Prolonging Elixir, it might be very useful for Path Integration Realm immortal cultivators. However, for Virtue Integration Realm immortal cultivators, it was basically useless.
After all, Virtue Integration Realm immortal cultivators could easily live up to a million years. Some of them could even live for longer.
Once they cultivated to the Virtue Integration Realm, they would stand at the highest level of immortal cultivators. They would have been reborn completely and were far from what immortal cultivators below the Path Integration Realm could compare to.
One or two 10,000 Years Life Prolonging Elixirs were not attractive to Virtue Integration Realm immortal cultivators. However, the Xue Clan was a super large clan that even had a few Virtue Integration Elixirs.
It was not because of the Energy Integration Elixir itself that attracted the attention of the upper echelons of the Xue Clan and even the clan leader. Instead, it was because of the meaning behind it.
In the entire Immortal Clouds Sea, there were no more than five factions that had the refining method of the Energy Integration Elixir. They were all rather ancient factions. Even their Xue Clan, which had a long heritage, had never mastered the refining method of the Energy Integration Elixir.
If their Xue Clan wanted to obtain the Energy Integration Elixir, they would have to purchase it from those ancient super large factions. It was fine if they paid a much higher price than the elixir itself. Most importantly, other sects and clans did not dare to offend the factions that had the refining method of the Energy Integration Elixir.
Once they offended them, they would no longer provide the right to purchase the Energy Integration Elixir. Without the Energy Integration Elixir, the number of Virtue Integration Realm immortal cultivators in the Xue Clan would definitely be reduced by more than half. The entire clan's ability would experience a steep decline because of this.
It was no exaggeration to say that if the five super large factions in the Immortal Clouds Sea did not provide the Energy Integration Elixir to the Xue Clan, then the Xue Clan would become weaker and weaker in the next million years. They might even be in danger of falling from being a first-rate clan.
"According to our investigations, that young man is called Mo Wen. We could not find any information about him in the Immortal Clouds Sea. We suspect that he is not an immortal cultivator from the Immortal Clouds Sea. The first time he appeared in the Immortal Clouds Sea was a year ago. He appeared on the Green Phoenix Immortal Island and had a huge conflict with the Green Phoenix Sect. "
"Oh, what caused the conflict?" the old man in white asked curiously.
"Because of the 10,000 Years Prolonging Life Elixir and the Energy Integration Elixir." Xue Rong's expression was strange.
"At that time, Mo Wen lived in seclusion on the Green Phoenix Immortal Island and opened a small medicine store …"
"No matter what kind of pill it was, as long as one came to buy it, his store would have it?" the old man in white asked in surprise.
"That is what the rumors say. Also, the medicine store that he opened does not accept any treasures, only rare medicinal herbs. The rarer the better, "Xue Rong said.
"So, he is an alchemist. The Energy Integration Elixir and 10,000 Years Prolonging Life Elixir were all concocted by him?" The old man in white's eyes lit up.
"He is most likely an alchemist. However, it is hard to say whether he concocted the Energy Integration Elixir and 10,000 Years Prolonging Life Elixir himself," another old man in the secret room said plainly.
He did not believe that an immortal cultivator in the Path Integration Realm could concoct pills like the Energy Integration Elixir and 10,000 Years Prolonging Life Elixir.
Especially the Energy Integration Elixir. There were not many people in the ancient factions who knew how to concoct it. It was impossible for them to impart it to a mere immortal cultivator in the Path Integration Realm.
"I don't know if he concocted it or not, but his conflict with the Green Phoenix Sect is precisely because of the Energy Integration Elixir and 10,000 Years Prolonging Life Elixir," Xue Rong said with a bitter smile.
"Oh, then what was the result?" the old man in white asked curiously.
"That day, Mo Wen and the Green Phoenix Sect had a huge battle and almost sank the Green Phoenix Immortal Island. The sect leader of the Green Phoenix Sect was severely injured and did not have long to live. The young sect leader of the Green Phoenix Sect was killed. "
"Oh, on the Green Phoenix Immortal Island, Mo Wen dared to make an enemy of the Green Phoenix Sect and almost killed the sect leader?"
The old man in white looked at Xue Rong in astonishment. As the headquarters of a sect, outsiders who wanted to invade it would have to pay a relatively huge price. Only those whose strength far exceeded the sect could do it.
For example, the person with the highest cultivation level in the entire Xue family was their Patriarch, a mid-stage Great Dao cultivator.
As the clan leader, he was only at the early-stage Great Dao realm.
But in the Xue family mansion, even without the help of the Sword Emperor Sect, ordinary perfected Great Dao cultivators could forget about invading the Xue family mansion.
In the wilderness, a mid-stage Great Dao cultivator might be killed in an instant if they encountered a perfected Great Dao cultivator. But in the mansion, the Xue family's Patriarch was comparable to a perfected Great Dao cultivator.
"That's right. On the surface, that youth only has a mid-stage Dao Integration cultivation level, but his combat strength is extremely terrifying. The Green Phoenix Sect's sect leader nearly died at his hands even after activating the power of the Nine Returns to One Array."
The Xue family's intelligence network was rather powerful. They quickly investigated what had happened on the Green Phoenix Immortal Island not long ago. However, after Xue Rong received the investigation report, he was extremely shocked. It was indeed somewhat unbelievable that a mid-stage Dao Integration cultivator could be this powerful.
"The most unbelievable thing is that the old demon of the Sky Roc race, Thunder Roc, appeared on the Green Phoenix Immortal Island …" Xue Rong's gaze was extremely odd.
