No one noticed this scene, as everyone’s attention was focused on the talisman.
However, Luo Chen had been quietly observing Tian Xingzi. Seeing him close his eyes again, he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Indeed, such crude tricks couldn’t fool a Foundation Establishment Ccultivator.
This was the best outcome!
At least, he wouldn’t have to worry about him bidding in the auction.
Of course, even if he did buy it, it wouldn’t be a problem.
As long as he spread the news of the Blood Talisman’s appearance through the black market, it would be enough.
Now that he wasn’t interested, the scope of his operation would be even greater.
"Hiss!"
"What kind of talisman is this? Why is there such a strong smell of blood?"
"Such a strong sensation!"
"I have already reached the Ninth Level of Qi Refinement, yet I still felt somewhat threatened by this talisman. If it were to be fully activated, I might have to be careful as well."
In the face of the crowd’s disturbance, Luo Chen remained calm and composed.
"First Order Blood Talisman, from a Ninth Level Qi Refinement Cultivator of the Fu Family who wishes to remain anonymous!"
The crowd was stunned. An anonymous Ninth Level Qi Refinement Formulation Scholar from the Fu Family?
What kind of ’wish to remain anonymous’ is this?
The Fu Family has only five Ninth Level Qi Refiners, right?
Each of them was well-known. Once you eliminated two who were not proficient in talisman creation, there were only three suspects left.
"This talisman was made from the entire upper body skin of a Qi Refinement Cultivator, tanned five times to create a sheet of talisman paper."
"Additionally, it includes ten drops of his own Blood Essence, mixed with a large amount of rhinoceros horn powder produced in Tian Lan Immortal City as talisman ink."
"I won’t go into too much detail, as you can all feel its power."
"Once this talisman is activated, it can unleash a blow comparable to that of a Qi Refinement Finalization."
"The starting bid is one thousand Spirit Stones. Good luck!"
As soon as his words fell, a rush of bids came in one after another.
One thousand!
One thousand five hundred!
One thousand eight hundred!
Two thousand!
In the end, it was sold for two thousand three hundred, and was won by a cultivator shrouded in a black robe.
A First-Order talisman selling for two thousand three hundred was definitely a high price!
Luo Chen was very satisfied and left without participating in the third round of free trade.
In the hall, Tian Xingzi opened his eyes, looking at his retreating figure, his brows slightly furrowed.
...
North Street Three Alleys, under the shadow of the eaves.
Two figures were standing there like withered trees.
"Brother Wang, you’re getting more proficient in the Concealing Breath Mantra. It’s almost as good as mine."
"Hehe."
"Alright, though you’re still far from me, it’s already good enough to fool a Qi Refinement Cultivator."
"With my Five Qi Return, unless I unleash my full power, Foundation Establishment Cultivators should not be able to see through me."
"Five Qi Return" is a martial art that Wang Yuan learned years ago.
He once mentioned to Luo Chen that this technique could constrict the massive Blood Qi of a Grandmaster to the maximum extent.
The so-called five Qi refers to Qi of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
Only after reaching the innate sphere of martial arts can one cultivate this technique.
Wang Yuan combined it with the "Concealing Breath Mantra". His control over the restrictions of his blood Qi was getting more and more proficient.
As the two communicated telepathically, time passed second by second.
Suddenly, Wang Yuan’s eyes shifted towards the northeast.
Luo Chen also noticed it immediately and subconsciously asked, "Seven Stars Slope?"
"Right, it seems like you guessed wrong."
"You’re not entirely wrong, though. That’s also one of the places most likely to be ambushed by thieves after the black market auction."
Luo Chen smiled slightly, threw himself into the air, with a windstorm swirling around him, as if a roc spreading its wings.
With a movement of Wang Yuan’s mind, he took a step forward, instantly moving ten meters ahead.
