The Hall of Runes was a place where talisman papers, talisman swords, and talisman clothes were made. Due to the quality of the talismans, it was very famous around the Imperial City. Most of the things that people needed were purchased from there.
There were four Masters in the Hall of Runes, and Master Guan was one of them. Therefore, it was not surprising that he had such financial resources.
However, it was obvious that Master Guan's financial resources were not enough to keep up.
Who was this person on the second floor? How did he have so much money? For a moment, such thoughts flashed through everyone's mind.
Of course, their focus was on whether this person would give face to Master Guan.
After all, Master Guan was one of the four Masters in the Hall of Runes.
Of course, there was also the Hall of Runes behind Master Guan. The Hall of Runes was no weaker than the families in the Imperial City.
Therefore, many of them thought that Linlong would give face to Master Guan.
As such thoughts flashed through their minds, Linlong said faintly, "I'm sorry, Master Guan. I must get this mask!"
Boy, you're really arrogant! Such words made Master Guan's anger burn fiercely.
However, he still kept his composure. After all, if the other party had so much money, there must be some force behind him.
It would be very unwise for him to directly become enemies with the other party.
The most important thing now was to find out the other party's background.
With this thought in mind, he opened his mouth and said, "May I know where this brother downstairs is from?"
"I don't belong to any faction. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Master Guan to find out where I came from." Linlong smiled faintly.
"Is that so … Brother, are you really not going to give face to me?" Master Guan's face turned cold.
"Of course I will give face to Master Guan. However, I must get this mask," Linlong said.
"If that's the case, then you can bid!" Master Guan sneered.
"Okay, then I bid 40 million!" Linlong said.
40 million! Such a price made everyone gasp. Although the price had already reached 38 million, it was still 40 million after all!
Even Elder Hu, Elder Liang, and the others looked at Linlong in disbelief. To be honest, they did not expect Linlong to be so rich.
Moreover, 40 million was probably not Linlong's limit.
However, when they thought of Linlong's identity as an alchemist, they understood.
"Okay! I've lost! "This time, before the auctioneer could speak, Master Guan had already said coldly.
Thirty-eight million was the highest price he could offer. Now that Linlong had raised the price by two million, how could he continue to compete? Hence, he decided to admit defeat.
"In that case, I'm sorry, Grandmaster Guan." Lin Long said with a faint smile.
"Hmph!" Master Guan snorted coldly, but everyone could hear the dissatisfaction and anger contained in this cold snort.
"It seems that Grandmaster Guan is going to take action against this person!" Someone couldn't help but say.
"Isn't this the auction house? The entire auction house is enveloped in a grand runic array. Shouldn't everyone be unable to attack within this grand runic array?" someone asked in puzzlement.
"Of course, it's impossible for Master Guan to attack from here. However, with his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to follow us."
"But, how can Master Guan follow him? How would Grandmaster Guan know who the other party is when he takes off his mask? "
"You don't know this, but Grandmaster Guan has a special sensing talisman. Even the grand runic array of the auction house can't isolate this sensing talisman. Once Grandmaster Guan uses the sensing talisman, the other party won't be able to escape from Grandmaster Guan's palm!"
Below the stage, many people were cautiously discussing such things.
Such people were generally more familiar with Grandmaster Guan.
In the private room upstairs, Grandmaster Guan's face was gloomy. He was determined to get this mask, but who would have thought that such a person would appear out of nowhere.
"Grandmaster Guan, I'll go and inquire about the other party's identity!" At this time, a person in Grandmaster Guan's private room respectfully said.
"Okay, go immediately!" Grandmaster Guan said coldly.
Although it was forbidden to inquire about other people's information in the auction house, with Grandmaster Guan's identity, how could he not know the elders of the auction house? As long as he communicated with them, he would most likely be able to inquire about the origin of the person downstairs.
If that was possible, Grandmaster Guan wouldn't have used the sensing talisman. After all, it wasn't that easy to make a sensing talisman.
That person left for a while and soon returned.
As soon as he returned, Grandmaster Guan couldn't wait to ask, "How was it? Did you find out the other party's identity?"
"Grandmaster Guan, I didn't find out anything. Elder Meng said that the other party's identity is very secretive. Except for a few people in the auction house, no one else knows about it. Even he doesn't know about it. Therefore, there's no way for him to provide us with any information about that person," the person said.
"What? Elder Meng doesn't know the other party's identity? "Grandmaster Guan frowned.
He really didn't expect such a thing to happen. However, there was one thing he didn't know, and that was that Elder Meng had actually been bribed by Elder Liang, who served Lin Long. Therefore, under such circumstances, how could he say that he roughly knew about Lin Long's background?
Of course, Elder Meng only knew that Lin Long was related to Elder Liang.
If they really wanted to track him, they could only start from Elder Liang.
"That's right." The person nodded.
"If that's the case, we can only use the sensing talisman!" Grandmaster Guan frowned.
He immediately said, "Follow me to the second floor!"
After saying that, he led his subordinates out of the private room and walked towards the second floor.
Soon, they arrived at the door of Lin Long's private room. At this time, he directly signaled his subordinates to knock on the door.
"May I know who is outside the door?" A voice came from inside.
Grandmaster Guan suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Brother inside, I am Grandmaster Guan. I would like to get to know you."
Grandmaster Guan felt that with his identity, the other party would have to open the door no matter what. Who would have thought that such a voice would come from inside. "I'm sorry, I don't know strangers."
What do you mean by don't know strangers? How could Grandmaster Guan believe such words? He could see that the other party's words were aimed at him.
Good boy, you actually don't put me, Grandmaster Guan, in your eyes! Grandmaster Guan was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.
If this wasn't an auction, he would have already ordered his subordinates to smash the door in front of him.
Grandmaster Guan could still endure it, but his subordinates couldn't.
One of them directly shouted in anger, "Good boy, Grandmaster Guan personally came to look for you, yet you don't even give him face. How arrogant!"
This person's voice wasn't soft, and in an instant, the people in the private rooms next to them heard it.
All of them came out to see what was going on. They discovered that Grandmaster Guan personally came to look for the other party, but the other party didn't even open the door. For a moment, they all burst into an uproar.
Who was this person? He actually didn't put Grandmaster Guan in his eyes? One must know that even the young masters of those big families wouldn't dare to give Grandmaster Guan the cold shoulder! Such thoughts flashed in their minds.
Although he was angry, such a situation made Grandmaster Guan feel very uncomfortable.
Grandmaster Guan personally came to look for Grandmaster Guan, but he was actually given the cold shoulder. If such a thing were to spread out, how would he still have any face left in the Imperial City?
His complexion became extremely ugly, and he wanted to leave directly. However, he thought that if he left, he wouldn't be able to plant a detection talisman on the other party's body. He was in a dilemma.
This detection talisman wasn't easy to use, and his subordinates hadn't touched it before. In other words, only he himself could use it.
Otherwise, he would have just left and let his subordinates stay.
In this dilemma, Grandmaster Guan finally chose to stay.
Boy, I will definitely pay back all the humiliation I've suffered today! Grandmaster Guan angrily said in his heart.
Because of this, several of them chose to stay outside Linlong's private room.
Such news quickly spread throughout the auction house.
Those with discerning eyes could see that Grandmaster Guan definitely wanted to plant a detection talisman on Linlong's body, but Linlong didn't give Grandmaster Guan any face at all.
Could it be that this person's background was really powerful? Such a thought flashed in someone's mind.
In their opinion, if this was really the case, Grandmaster Guan would suffer a great loss.
At this time, in Linlong's private room, Linlong asked in a low voice, "You guys, can you tell what Grandmaster Guan's intention is?"
"It is rumored that there is a detection talisman in the Rune Palace. I think Grandmaster Guan came here to plant a detection talisman on Young Master's body," Elder Liang said directly.
He would definitely say such a thing before Linlong left, so when he heard Linlong's question, he naturally answered directly.
"Detection talisman?" Linlong couldn't help but ask.
"If it's this detection talisman, then he wants to attack us after we leave the auction house," Elder Hu said from the side.
"That should be the case," Feng Tian also nodded.
The voices of these people were very calm, and they were not worried at all about what would happen.
Of course, this was because they were strong. After all, they were the four experts who could activate grade 5 ice talismans.
Although such experts could not be said to be tyrannical in the Imperial City, it was not easy to deal with them.
Because of this, they did not place a rune master in the Rune Palace in their eyes.
While the few of them were talking, the auction was already coming to an end.
Linlong said, "Elder Feng, open the door!"
"Yes!" Elder Feng responded and immediately went over to open the door.
Immediately after, they saw several people standing outside the door.
In order to show his identity, Grandmaster Guan did not wear a mask, so Elder Liang recognized him at a glance.
He immediately whispered to Linlong, "Young Master, this person is indeed Grandmaster Guan."
Linlong nodded lightly, then said to Grandmaster Guan, "Master Guan, may I know why you personally came here?"
"Nothing much, I just want to make friends with Young Master," Grandmaster Guan said with a smile.
At this time, he naturally suppressed the anger in his heart.
Although almost everyone knew why he came here, he did not want to make it so obvious.
"Grandmaster Guan, I'm sorry, but I won't tell you my real identity," Linlong said bluntly.
"It's fine if you don't tell me, I can come in for a chat, right?" Grandmaster Guan laughed, then directly walked into Linlong's box.
What he did not expect was that Linlong and the others did not stop him.
This naturally made him secretly happy, because the closer he was to Linlong, the more likely his detection talisman could be planted on Linlong's body.
Worried that something might happen, he activated his detection talisman the moment he walked in.
This detection talisman was silent, but it was still sensed by Linlong, who had a powerful divine sense.
He also had a way to deal with it, so he was not worried at all. This detection talisman was different from the rune imprint he had in the Cangyun Continent.
Of course, this was also related to the knowledge he came into contact with in the back palace of the Mask Academy's Catacombs. There was a way to remove this detection talisman, so he was not worried that this detection talisman would cause him any trouble.
It was also because of this that he did not stop Grandmaster Guan from activating the detection talisman.
Seeing that Linlong and the others did not have any reaction, Grandmaster Guan was naturally secretly delighted. When the detection talisman was completely activated, he had no intention of staying any longer.
He immediately said, "Young master, since you do not welcome me, then I will not stay any longer. Farewell!"
After saying that, he directly walked out.
After waiting for him to leave, Elder Liang said worriedly, "Young master, since Grandmaster Guan left like this, he most likely activated the detection talisman!"
"It would be bad if he really planted a detection talisman on us!" Elder Hu said worriedly.
"Don't worry, his detection talisman is not a problem for me." Linlong calmly smiled.
Seeing Linlong's expression, the few of them were finally relieved.
"Alright, let's go out." After saying that, Linlong led the few of them out.
Elder Liang and the others were all wearing masks, and the clothes they wore were also not ordinary, so they were not worried that anyone would see through their identity.
After coming out, they changed into another mask and walked out of the auction house.
As for Linlong, he no longer wore a bamboo hat, but a mask that covered his ears.
Although they were not afraid of trouble, it was better not to cause trouble if possible.
Not long after, they arrived at a mountain forest outside. At this time, Elder Liang and the others clearly felt that there was someone behind them.
"Young master, it seems like someone is following us!" Elder Liang's expression changed.
"It's Grandmaster Guan and the others," Linlong said indifferently.
"Young master, didn't you say that you can remove Grandmaster Guan's detection talisman?" Elder Hu could not help but ask.
"I can remove it, but I did not do so because I want to capture this Grandmaster Guan!" Linlong directly said.
"I see." After hearing Linlong's words, Elder Liang and the others understood.
At this time, seven to eight people had already surrounded them, and one of them was impressively Grandmaster Guan.
Obviously, Grandmaster Guan was very confident in the people he brought with him. He believed that Linlong and the others would definitely not be able to escape.
The reason for this was because among the people he brought with him, there was someone who could activate the grade 5 ice talisman.
"Grandmaster Guan, I did not expect that we would meet again." Looking at Grandmaster Guan, Linlong indifferently smiled.
"Hehe, brat, no matter who you are, you are finished today!" Grandmaster Guan sneered.
