Chapter 12

For this martial artist spirit pill auction, Qin Shaofeng was somewhat interested.

Therefore, he brought three high-grade spirit pills and ten medium-grade spirit pills to meet Bai Yifan.

This time, Qin Shaofeng only brought Hei Hu and Hei Bao.

Although the number of people was small, with the strength of Hei Hu and Hei Bao, it was a different matter.

Upon meeting Bai Yifan again, the latter was very pleased, especially after Qin Shaofeng took out those martial artist spirit pills, he became even more delighted.

However, since the auction had already entered the final preparation stage and was very busy, Bai Yifan did not have much time to chat with Qin Shaofeng and left immediately.

Although Bai Yifan left quickly, he had arranged accommodation for Qin Shaofeng.

The martial artist spirit pill auction organized by Bai Yifan was held in a large hotel of the Bai family. This place had a dedicated auction venue, which was much more luxurious than the auction Qin Shaofeng had seen at the Sea Hotel.

According to Bai Yifan, this auction was grand, although the main focus was on martial artist spirit pills.

However, there were also many other items.

Of course, none of the items up for auction were simple.

Moreover, the most important thing was that this auction was entirely for the martial artist community. Not only could ordinary people not enter, but the currency used for the auction was based on spirit jade.

However, since the main items being auctioned were martial artist spirit pills, and considering Qin Shaofeng's request, the primary currency for this auction was based on spirit herbs.

Qin Shaofeng was now staying in the presidential suite of the hotel where the auction was being held, which Bai Yifan had specially arranged for him.

There were still two or three days before the auction officially began. After handing over the pills to Bai Yifan, Qin Shaofeng felt a bit bored.

Apart from Hei Hu and Hei Bao, he had no one else with him. In fact, Qin Shaofeng had initially thought of bringing Chen Dazhuang or Hu Xiaochuan.

However, it was now the school break, and Chen Dazhuang had taken Wang Feier back to his hometown.

Yes, this was considered a formal visit to meet the parents.

As for Hu Xiaochuan, given the current situation of the Hu family, he could not possibly come out.

Even this highly confidential auction in the martial artist community, the Hu family did not plan to participate in.

Bai Xiaobai, on the other hand, had to return home as soon as the long break started.

The family had strict rules!

Actually, when it came to Bai Xiaobai, Qin Shaofeng initially thought that maybe the fourth brother, Bai Xiaobai, was also from the Bai family!

After all, the surname Bai was quite rare in Huaxia.

For this reason, Qin Shaofeng had even asked Elder Bai once.

However, Elder Bai told Qin Shaofeng that Bai Xiaobai was not from their family.

Although the Bai family was powerful and one of the five major families in the Huaxia martial artist community, unfortunately, the Bai family had few descendants. Even in this generation, there were only three direct-line disciples in the Bai family.

Even if you counted the collateral-line disciples, there were only five or six.

For a powerful martial artist family like the Bai family, this situation was quite rare.

Therefore, the Bai family would not allow their bloodline to spread outside.

Bai Xiaobai just happened to have the surname Bai.

Thinking about it, even among the five major families, there was a Qin family, but he himself was not from the Qin family!

Bored, Qin Shaofeng could only stay in the presidential suite and cultivate.

However, on the second day of staying in the presidential suite, Qin Shaofeng's door was knocked on.

At first, Qin Shaofeng thought it was Bai Yifan, but when Hei Bao opened the door, his pupils constricted.

There were only two people standing outside the door.

One was an old man in his fifties, dressed like a butler, and the other was a young man in his late twenties.

It was the appearance of this young man that surprised Qin Shaofeng.

Although he had never met this person before, Qin Shaofeng had seen his face before.

This was because in the memory images he had obtained from Number Seven, Qin Shaofeng had seen this young man.

And Number Seven seemed to be led by this young man.

He was the one who was targeting the Hu family!

Was he here to find me, knowing that I was the one who acted that day?

In an instant, several thoughts flashed through Qin Shaofeng's mind, but his expression did not change.

"May I ask, who are you?" Qin Shaofeng asked.

This person was Li Yulong, along with his old butler.

Because he thought Qin Shaofeng would appear at this auction organized by the Bai family, Li Yulong had also come.

Actually, even if it wasn't for Qin Shaofeng, Li Yulong would have come just for the martial artist spirit pills.

The appearance of these martial artist spirit pills had piqued his interest.

Upon arriving, Li Yulong learned that Qin Shaofeng was also there, so he came directly to find him.

"I am Li Yulong!" Li Yulong smiled.

Li Yulong?

Qin Shaofeng's eyes flashed, and he immediately knew who the person was.

The eldest son of the Li family, Li Fei's older brother!

"So, you are the eldest son of the Li family. What brings you here?" Qin Shaofeng asked.

"Why don't you invite me in for a chat?" Li Yulong smiled.

"Unconvenient!"

Qin Shaofeng refused without hesitation.

The old butler behind Li Yulong frowned and said coldly, "Young man, are you challenging our Li family?"

Instantly, a powerful aura emanated from the old butler.

A Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!

And at least a Fifth Rank Grandmaster of the Innate Realm!

Qin Shaofeng was surprised, but then he thought of Number Seven and felt relieved.

"Old man, what are you talking about?"

The old butler's words made Hei Bao immediately dissatisfied.

Although Hei Bao also felt the old butler's powerful aura, he was not afraid.

What?

The old butler's eyes turned cold, and he was about to attack.

But at this moment, Li Yulong waved his hand and smiled, "Since it's inconvenient, never mind. I'll take my leave!"

With that, Li Yulong turned and left.

The old butler also glanced coldly at Hei Bao and then turned to leave.

Watching Li Yulong's departing figure, Qin Shaofeng frowned slightly.

He had a feeling that Li Yulong definitely knew he had killed his Number Seven subordinate and disrupted his plans against the Hu family.

But why did he come to find him and then leave like this?

Qin Shaofeng was puzzled.

Moreover, what surprised Qin Shaofeng the most was that he could not sense Li Yulong's aura at all, as if he were just an ordinary person who had not cultivated.

But this was different!

In the martial artist community, everyone knew that the eldest son of the Li family had a strong cultivation talent, even surpassing Bai Yifan, who was two years older.

He had reportedly reached the Tenth Rank of the Innate Master Realm a year ago.

Now, many people secretly speculated that even if Li Yulong had not yet broken through to the Grandmaster of the Innate Realm, he should at least have reached the peak of the Innate Master Realm.

Therefore, Qin Shaofeng could not possibly think that Li Yulong was an ordinary person.

The reason he could not sense Li Yulong's aura, as if he were an ordinary person, was that Qin Shaofeng suspected Li Yulong had some kind of magical artifact that concealed his aura.

Since he could encounter a cultivator like the Evil Blood Daoist, it was also possible that others could find a cultivator's cave or a magical artifact left behind.

...

"How is it, Young Master?"

Not far away, the old butler suddenly asked Li Yulong.

Li Yulong did not speak, his eyes flashing with a hint of amusement.

Originally, he had planned to find an opportunity to capture Qin Shaofeng once he knew he had appeared.

However, everything changed after he met Qin Shaofeng just now, and he completely abandoned his previous plan.

"Don't act yet, Qin Shaofeng is interesting!" Li Yulong said, "I couldn't sense his aura just now. He can actually hide his aura from me!"

What?

The old butler's face turned pale when he heard this.

Qin Shaofeng could actually hide his aura from their young master, who had reached such a high realm?

How was that possible? A mere Qin Shaofeng couldn't possibly hide his aura from their young master.

Seemingly reading the old butler's thoughts, Li Yulong smiled and said, "Nothing is impossible. Didn't you see the two people with him?"

Those two people?

The old butler frowned, puzzled, "Aren't they just two First Rank Grandmasters of the Innate Realm? I could kill both of them in three moves!"

The old butler's tone was full of confidence, not taking Hei Hu and Hei Bao seriously.

"No, I'm not talking about their strength!" Li Yulong shook his head, "Didn't you find them familiar?"

Familiar?

The old butler's heart stirred, and he immediately recalled something.

A moment later, the old butler finally remembered and exclaimed in surprise, "Those two are Hei Hu and Hei Bao?"

The old butler had seen the information about Qin Shaofeng and knew about Hei Hu and Hei Bao.

But the issue was not that. The issue was that Hei Hu and Hei Bao were only Innate Martial Artists, right?

According to the information, one was a Third Rank Innate Martial Artist, and the other was a First Rank Innate Martial Artist.

But the Hei Hu and Hei Bao he saw just now were both First Rank Grandmasters of the Innate Realm!

This was a huge difference!

The old butler did not think this was a mistake in their intelligence. With the intelligence network established by their young master, even if there were some errors, they would only be minor.

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for such a major error to occur, mistaking Grandmasters of the Innate Realm for Innate Martial Artists.

So, if that was the case...

The old butler's eyes flashed, and he seemed to understand something.

Seeing that the old butler finally understood, Li Yulong smiled and said, "It seems you realize that Hei Hu and Hei Bao have likely advanced to the Grandmaster of the Innate Realm because of Qin Shaofeng!"

Although he had already suspected this possibility, hearing Li Yulong say it, the old butler still found it hard to believe.

"Master, isn't that impossible? According to the information, Hei Hu and Hei Bao were only First, Second, and Third Rank Innate Martial Artists a month ago. How could they advance to the Grandmaster of the Innate Realm in such a short time?"

Even you, Master, couldn't do that, right?

Of course, the last sentence was only in the old butler's mind.

Li Yulong did not mind and smiled, "If I can obtain such power, why can't Qin Shaofeng?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Qin Shaofeng has likely inherited the legacy of a true alchemist and can refine truly powerful pills!"

Only this could explain how Hei Hu and Hei Bao advanced so quickly.

However, this situation did not worry Li Yulong; instead, it made him even more delighted.

Indeed, even the heavens are helping me, Li Yulong.

Now that we have Qin Shaofeng, all the previous problems will be solved. This trip was indeed worthwhile!
