Chapter 404: Shopkeeper Lin, Late-stage Core Formation, Who’s the Final Winner?!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Of course!” A loud shout suddenly sounded, and then a Core Formation cultivator appeared!

No one expected that among the dozen or so people on the ground, there were actually Core Formation cultivators!

The Core Formation cultivator sneered and said, “I’m the supervisor of the law enforcement team of the Eastern State Market. I’ve long felt that there’s something abnormal about this underground auction. As expected!”

In midair, the host was also shocked by the appearance of Feng Tianqi. “The supervisor of the law enforcement team of the Eastern State Market, Feng Tianqi?! Hmph, so what if you discovered it? Just you alone…”

Before he could finish speaking, this person, who was also in the intermediate stage of the Core Formation realm, shouted, “Attack!”

In an instant, four figures suddenly jumped up around Mu Xuan and Shopkeeper Lin and pounced at the Core Formation cultivators in the air!

Coupled with the abundance of Heavenly Energy, the number of Core

Formation cultivators in the Eastern State Market had already reached five!

There were only seven people on the underground auction side. The difference between the two sides was already extremely small.

Immediately, even the other peak Foundation Establishment cultivators on the ground became active. They shouted and formed an array formation to join forces to deal with an early-stage Core Formation cultivator from the organizer.

As for Mu Xuan, he had already retreated to a corner with Shopkeeper Lin.

“How could this be?” Shopkeeper Lin said in surprise, still in disbelief.

“That’s right, how could this be?” Mu Xuan also sighed. He actually didn’t notice that there were still five Core Formation cultivators hiding here just now.

The battle in midair became more and more intense. It was obvious that the organizer of the auction was at a disadvantage.

At the critical moment, the host shouted, “Boss, if you don’t attack now, we’re finished!”

In an instant, a stream of light instantly rose. At this moment, a powerful array formation was instantly activated!

Feng Tianli shouted, “Not good, it’s the Five Dragons Divine Fire Array…”

In the next moment, five fire dragons that faintly emitted the aura of a Core Formation cultivator were formed from the array formation and pounced at Feng Tianqi and the other three…

At this moment, a solemn expression instantly appeared on Feng Tianli’s face. Five early-stage Core Formation Fire Dragons were enough to turn the situation around!

“I just hope that the people from the Skyscraping Realm can arrive as soon as possible…” Feng Tianli thought with a heavy heart.

On the ground, Shopkeeper Lin also smiled at Mu Xuan. “Brother Fang, you didn’t expect this, right..

Mu Xuan nodded gently. “I didn’t expect it! You should be their boss, right?!”

“That’s right, I’m the planner of this auction!” Shopkeeper Lin smiled and said, “Brother Fang, I actually think very highly of you. As long as you join, you’ll also have a share of the gains from this auction. How about it?”

Shopkeeper Lin naturally had a reason for thinking so highly of Mu Xuan. For more than ten years, he had seen Mu Xuan disguise himself as Fang Xiu and quickly advance from the perfected Qi Refinement realm to the current peak of Foundation Establishment. He was afraid that he could reach the Golden Core realm in one step.

What was this? This was a genius!

How could Shopkeeper Lin let go of such a genius? After all, his lifespan… was really not long…

That’s right, Shopkeeper Lin had taken a fancy to Mu Xuan and was prepared to say that he had taken a fancy to Mu Xuan’s body and had an extremely talented body!

Mu Xuan looked at Shopkeeper Lin and seemed to understand something. He sighed and said, “I’ve already been so low-key. I didn’t expect to still be coveted… Shopkeeper Lin, do you know what your biggest mistake was this time?”

Shopkeeper Lin had a bad feeling and asked in confusion, “What is it?”

“That’s naturally…” Mu Xuan muttered to himself and suddenly attacked. Spell: Great Sun Demon Light!

In an instant, a dazzling light suddenly bloomed in front of Shopkeeper Lin, almost depriving him of his vision!

Shopkeeper Lin’s cultivation had already reached the late-stage Core Formation realm, but in the face of such a short distance, such a powerful spell, and such a sudden attack, he was still half a step slower!

This half a beat was the distance between life and death!

The Great Sun Demon Light that Mu Xuan had accumulated for more than ten years rushed out in full strength at this moment. The extremely dazzling light pierced through Shopkeeper Lin!

At this moment, Shopkeeper Lin finally understood what Mu Xuan meant. He didn’t even have time to think about why Mu Xuan also had a late-stage Core Formation cultivation…

After succeeding in one move, Mu Xuan naturally wouldn’t show mercy. The magical treasure in his hand instantly emitted a light and pierced through the head of Shopkeeper Lin, who couldn’t resist at all!

“Bang—”

Shopkeeper Lin’s corpse fell with a bang. The terrifying light finally dissipated, revealing the mess on the ground.

In the air, everyone was stunned. The Core Formation cultivators of the organizer were shocked that their boss had died. The people in the market were shocked that there was actually a late-stage Core Formation cultivator!

Mu Xuan was enveloped in a black robe. He put away Shopkeeper Lin’s corpse and instantly rose into the sky, pouncing at the host!

“You—”

The host’s soul almost left his body as he tried to summon the fire dragon to defend. However, without Shopkeeper Lin presiding over the array formation, the fire dragon immediately lost its agility and became a demon that only knew how to attack. Its deterrence towards Core Formation cultivators instantly decreased greatly.

To Mu Xuan, a fire dragon that was only at the early-stage Core Formation realm had no combat strength at all. He kicked a fire dragon away and finally appeared in front of the host…

At the same time, in the other directions, the host’s side also lost all their fighting spirit. If not for the fact that the market had intercepted them, they would probably have already fled!

In the end, there was naturally no need to say anything about the outcome. The host was the first to be killed by Mu Xuan. More than a hundred storage bags immediately entered Mu Xuan’s arms.

Mu Xuan laughed loudly, broke through the Five Dragon Divine Fire Array, and quickly disappeared.

As for the battle between the auction and the market, what did it have to do with him?!

Mu Xuan, who had secretly returned to his Hundred Medicine Hall, began to count the treasures in his storage bag happily. Not only did this include all the assets of those Foundation Establishment cultivators, but it also included many treasures provided by the auction. He could be said to have become rich overnight!

In the end, there were 20 million spirit stones alone. There were also various resources, materials, spirit medicines, medicinal pills, spirit weapons, cultivation methods… There was everything, and it was also worth tens of millions of spirit stones.

As for the most valuable things, they were the two magic treasures obtained by Shopkeeper Lin. The high-grade magic treasure, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, and the mid-grade magic treasure, the Moon Concealment Boat!

From the name, it could be seen that the high-grade magic treasure, the Golden Flood Dragon Scissors, was a pair of scissors. It was extremely offensive. With one cut, even Mu Xuan, who was also at the late-stage Core Formation realm, would be heavily injured.

Mu Xuan secretly rejoiced. If not for the fact that he had suddenly launched a sneak attack and directly used the Great Sun Demon Light, a spell specially used to deal with Nascent Soul old monsters, not giving Shopkeeper Lin a chance to counterattack, this guy would probably have the last laugh tonight.

Fortunately, the final winner was him, Mu Xuan!

On the other side, the mid-grade magic treasure, the Moon Concealment Boat, was surprisingly a flying magic treasure. Moreover, it had the ability to turn invisible under the moonlight. It was most suitable for long-distance travel!

“After this, I won’t have to do anything for decades!” Mu Xuan laughed…

At the same time, in the outside world, the entire Eastern State’s market was already in an uproar. No one expected that the annual underground auction of the market would actually rob the participants. The wealth of more than a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators had been robbed, enough to cause chaos.

After Mu Xuan slept, the entire Eastern State Market was under martial law. Even the Nascent Soul cultivator, the Skycracker, was mobilized and captured the organizer’s group who didn’t have time to escape.

However, without Shopkeeper Lin’s corpse, no one would know that the final winner would be the owner of a small medicinal pill shop in the market!
