Chapter 68

"Xuantie badge! That's the Xuantie badge held by the Xuantie-level VIPs of the Treasure Pavilion!"

"How is that possible? Even the city lord of Tianfeng City, Ye Xiao Zheng, only has a Qingmu badge. How can this young man possibly be a Xuantie-level VIP?"

"Only the strong of Xuantie-level forces can possess that, right?"

"Could it be that this young man has been recognized by a Xuantie-level force?"

Ye Xue instantly turned pale, staring fixedly at the Xuantie badge without moving.

Earlier, when she spoke, many people secretly praised her for her cleverness.

Now, it seemed that her self-assured actions were nothing more than a clown's performance.

A single Xuantie badge shattered everything.

A single Xuantie badge also proved how naive their previous thoughts about dealing with Shen Lang were!

Speaking of the level of forces, a Xuantie-level force could easily have dozens or even hundreds of Qingmu-level forces under its command.

A Xuantie-level force could send out an elite disciple to sweep away several Qingmu-level forces in a single night!

The gap between the two sides was immeasurable.

This was why everyone was stunned when they saw the Pavilion Master of the Treasure Pavilion hand the Xuantie badge to Shen Lang.

Although Shen Lang did not represent a Xuantie-level force, with this badge, he could enjoy the same treatment as the strong of Xuantie-level forces in the Treasure Pavilion!

As for why this somewhat famous "waste" became a Xuantie-level VIP of the Treasure Pavilion...

This was something that Ye Xue and Tang Sheng and others could not figure out no matter how hard they tried.

The important thing now was not whether they could understand this, but how to deal with the situation!

Tang Sheng and Xu Daolin had offended a Xuantie-level VIP. With Shen Lang's consent, these two were doomed to die!

Even if Ye Xiao Zheng came personally, he could not save them!

Just as Tang Sheng and Ye Xue were in a panic, unexpectedly...

Shen Lang, the main character of the entire incident, did not take the Xuantie badge from the Pavilion Master. Instead, he seemed to glance at Lin Qingfeng intentionally or unintentionally, then turned around and entered the private room.

Subsequently, his voice came from inside the private room: "Lan Luos, drive those guys away; they are blocking my view and making me uncomfortable."

Lan Luos puffed out his chest, raised his head, and tightened his abdomen, looking very imposing... Then he immediately lowered his head, narrowed his eyes, and bent his waist to say to Lin Qingfeng: "Pavilion Master, Young Master Lang seems to not want to make things difficult for these people. What do you think? Should we drive them away directly?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Sheng and Xu Daolin were so grateful that they wanted to hug and kiss Lan Luos!

Lan Luos was just too adorable!

This was like a royal decree granting amnesty, a heavenly voice!

Lin Qingfeng's expression became a bit strange, and he coughed, lightly waving his hand.

The group of Qingyi guards surrounding Tang Sheng and Xu Daolin suddenly disappeared, as if they had never been there.

Tang Sheng and Xu Daolin, who had been drenched in sweat from the overwhelming killing intent, almost collapsed, gasping for breath.

The crowd below had various expressions, ranging from awe, surprise, and bewilderment.

A few people from the Shen family who had come to the auction looked at each other, seeing disbelief and fear in each other's eyes... The Shen family had never favored Shen Lang, and now he had inexplicably become a Xuantie-level VIP of the Treasure Pavilion. What would await the Shen family, no one knew.

...

"Thank you, Uncle Lin!"

Ye Xue lightly waved her hand, and two people from behind came to support Tang Sheng and Xu Daolin, fleeing out like they were escaping.

Lin Qingfeng coldly snorted and said, "No need to thank me; you should thank Young Master Lang!"

"Young Master Lang!" The crowd below erupted.

To be called by the Pavilion Master of Tianfeng City's Treasure Pavilion, this Shen Lang was indeed...

At this moment, two beautiful figures suddenly caught everyone's attention. On the other side of the corridor, Xue Dang and Shui Qingwu walked over together.

"Something interesting seemed to have happened just now. Too bad, I didn't see it..." Xue Dang sighed.

Shui Qingwu, with a cold face, said, "Any interesting thing, if you get involved, becomes boring."

"Hehe, say whatever you want. Anyway, this time you lost completely. Letting you have a verbal advantage is fine." Xue Dang walked, and the bells on her body rang out clearly and pleasantly.

"Just a few moves, and in your eyes, it becomes a complete loss. Truly laughable... Shen Lang, don't run!"

As Shui Qingwu spoke, she suddenly called out, seeing Shen Lang sneak out of the private room, trying to blend into the crowd.

"Hey, seeing us and running, what does that mean? You even took my protection fee!" Xue Dang teased.

"Ah..." Shen Lang looked at Shui Qingwu and Xue Dang, then at the old men still in a daze at the door, and sighed deeply, retreating back into the private room.

These old men could help him deal with the city lord's people, but facing these two women, they were probably helpless.

Mo Liusheng and the others greeted Sima Qing and Lin Qingfeng, then directly entered the private room to the right of Shen Lang's.

Lin Qingfeng and Sima Qing exchanged a glance, a bit uneasy, and entered the private room where Shen Lang was.

"The Treasure Pavilion truly has good means..." Shen Lang leaned back, his expression indifferent.

Xue Dang and Shui Qingwu were both stunned, sitting quietly on either side of him, not speaking.

Lin Qingfeng and Sima Qing immediately broke out in a cold sweat...

Lan Luos was stunned, not understanding what was going on. Just now, these two had helped Shen Lang deal with the city lord's people, giving him plenty of face. Why, upon entering the private room, did Young Master Lang use such a questioning tone with them?

"Young Master Lang is Young Master Lang. Whether in action or words, he is profound and unfathomable... I didn't understand a single word."

Lan Luos felt even more mysterious and reverent towards Shen Lang.

In fact, Lin Qingfeng and the others had indeed used some means.

But these two cunning old men, although they knew Shen Lang was an outstanding alchemist, did not expect his mind to be so astonishing. His actions in this situation were all seen through!

And this action was, of course, Lin Qingfeng taking out the Xuantie badge and giving it to Shen Lang.

Originally, Shen Lang's auctioning of the giant potion and formula could be big or small. At least, under the Treasure Pavilion's confidentiality, the various forces would not know that this was Shen Lang's item, and thus it would not bring much trouble.

But Lin Qingfeng and the others' actions directly revealed Shen Lang's identity to the world.

Shen Lang was just a despised waste of the Shen family, unable to cultivate, but suddenly received such high praise from the Treasure Pavilion, even overshadowing the Qingmu-level City Lord's Mansion!

If it were any other day, it might have been fine, but today, a shocking event happened in the city: a giant potion formula, said to turn decay into magic, appeared at the Treasure Pavilion auction!

Just for this formula, nearby Xuantie-level forces had already sent people, determined to seize it!

In just a few hours, the entire Tianfeng City was in turmoil, with hidden currents surging...

Happening at the same time and place, and both being unbelievable, even a fool would connect the two events.

Even if the various forces could not ultimately confirm that Shen Lang was the owner of the giant potion formula, Lin Qingfeng and the others' actions would still bring endless trouble to Shen Lang.

And this trouble might even involve Xuantie-level forces!

Since the Treasure Pavilion wanted to win over Shen Lang, why did they act this way?

This was their true purpose...

By revealing Shen Lang's name and creating trouble for him, and possibly trouble he could not solve himself, Shen Lang would have to rely on the Treasure Pavilion's power to resolve these issues!

Lin Qingfeng took out the Xuantie badge and gave it to Shen Lang in front of so many people, and also summoned the Treasure Pavilion's very mysterious Qingyi guards...

This was like pushing Shen Lang to the forefront, forcing him to rely on the Treasure Pavilion's power and place himself under the Treasure Pavilion's protection!

In this way, they could tightly bind Shen Lang to the Treasure Pavilion!

That's how it was...

All of this, in the eyes of someone like Lan Luos, was incomprehensible.

However, they encountered Shen Lang...

So he coldly observed and did not take the Xuantie badge from Lin Qingfeng.

Lin Qingfeng secretly thought this young man was terrifying, then quickly explained, "Young Master Lang, this matter is a long story, not our original intention. It's just that..."

"Leave the Xuantie badge, you can go out first. Let me have a moment of peace."

Shen Lang waved his hand with a gloomy face, stunning Lan Luos and the others again.

A young man speaking to the Pavilion Master of Tianfeng City's Treasure Pavilion and the Chief Appraiser Sima Qing like this was truly bizarre.

"Yes, yes, Young Master Lang, you are busy. We'll go out first..." Lin Qingfeng's eyes showed a hint of joy, and he quickly left with Sima Qing.

No matter what, although Shen Lang was unhappy, accepting the Xuantie badge meant he was not extremely angry, leaving room for negotiation.

...

Shen Lang took out a jade token given by Lan Luos, swiped his palm, and a stream of spiritual energy entered it. A light screen immediately appeared before him, displaying all the items to be auctioned at the Treasure Pavilion, from small to large, as clearly as a computer screen.

Not only were the names and clear images shown, but also the appraisal reports from the Treasure Pavilion's appraisers, which were very detailed.

Only VIP customers like him could enjoy such treatment.

After all, the internal information of such an auction was generally not shown to outsiders.

This auction had a total of 120 items, including pills, spirit weapons, and various spirit herbs and rare materials.

As expected, the giant potion provided by Shen Lang became the final item.

The formula was likely to be contested only by Xuantie-level forces.

Shen Lang's gaze carefully scanned from top to bottom. When it reached the middle of the screen, it suddenly stopped.

"Hmm?"

"What's wrong? Did you see something valuable?" Xue Dang curiously leaned in to ask.

"Third Eye of the Howling Moon Wolf." Shen Lang smiled lightly. "This auction was not in vain."

Sitting beside him, Shui Qingwu, who was still thinking about Shen Lang's Xuantie badge, was slightly stunned. "The Third Eye of the Howling Moon Wolf, it is said that when ground into powder, it can be used to refine several spirit medicines, which can dispel some illusions or illusory realms. However, according to the description, this eye seems to come from an immature Howling Moon Wolf, so its value is not great, and the auction price will likely not be high."

"Right, there are so many better things below. Why are you staring at this thing and smiling like that?"

Xue Dang rarely agreed with Shui Qingwu.

"The Buddha said: It cannot be said, it cannot be said..." Shen Lang smiled like the Mona Lisa.

"I must get this item, no matter the cost!" Shen Lang made up his mind.

Although he had no money, at least he had the Treasure Pavilion's Xuantie badge. It was a good thing he did not refuse the Xuantie badge out of spite...
