Bai Xue peeked her head out of Wang Ling's clothes and then began to salivate as she stared at the lustrous gem known as an Immortal Core.

"Like a gleaming diamond that had been bathed with qi for millions of years, a grand treasure that appears after the death of an Immortal. A treasure that is said to have the ability to turn a Mortal into a Celestial. The treasure that existed in this era alone, the core of an Immortal's Spirit, the Immortal Core. This an item that had not appeared in the Realm for almost a thousand years, whoever can take this home will once again be blessed with an expert!" The old man roused the emotions of the bidders and as the emotions peaked he announced, "The bid shall start at 500,000,000 Stellar Stones!"

Bai Xue looked at Wang Ling and then said with a smile on her face, "If we can get that, even if we share we will be able to reach Celestial King in a single jump! Ling! We must get that, we can reach all new heights in such a fast pace, we will be able to return to our peaks!"

Bai Xue lost her rationality in face of such a treasure. Her bloodline was boiling, she was salivating in front of the Immortal Core and she cared not what she looked like as she begged Wang Ling for the item to be bought.

But Wang Ling looked at her and shook his head, "We can't take that, we can't bet and take the attention to us else they will know I am here. Also… we don't have enough funds to actually get that thing."

For the longest time, Wang Ling had been able to get what he want because he had stellar stones that numbered at billions. But right now he only has three billion worth of funds and the bid for the Immortal Core had already reached 5 Billion in a matter of minutes.

He had not felt such hopelessness in terms of money for the longest time now and it was a pretty shitty feeling, he can tell. Bai Xue heard him and slowly, she managed to control the overflowing emotion that surged from her bloodline.

She took in a deep breath and then sighed at the sight of a treasure disappearing right before her eyes. She had to give up, the bid had become too high to begin with so Wang Ling can't do anything about it.

But a ray of hope appeared because the one who managed to snatch the treasure from the hands of the Qin Clan. Qin Ao's voice reverberated as he celebrated on getting the Immortal Core. He had spent a total of 20,000,000,000 Stellar Stones just to get this treasure but he still sees it as little in face of what he can get from it.

The Qin Clan would surely give the core to him, he was the genius only second to the Fox of the Wang Family after all. He was the strongest of the younger generation and if he can become a Celestial sooner then he will be able to attract the eyes of the Commanders of the Origin World.

If he is lucky, Qin Ao might even become a disciple of a General or someone even higher. His hopes were high and surely his family is too. The Qin Family has no one backing them up from the Origin World. If they can get Qin Ao to step in there with his talents then the Qin Clan will prosper like never before.

Wang Ling watched this and stood up, he had a smile on his face when he head out of the Auction House. The two treasures were auctioned out without him knowing what kind of treasure they were.

Wang Ling wasted no time and headed out. As soon as he step out of the Auction House he directly headed for an alley and said, "Shadow, report."

Two figures appeared right in front of him. One of them was one of the Seven Shadows of the Shadow Pavilion, a direct disciple of Butler Sun and someone at Celestial King Stage, Qihai.

"Reporting to first Young Master." Qihai lowered his head and then had the person beside him hand him a scroll and began explaining things to Wang Ling, "This is a [Spatial Interference Scroll] you have asked for, with this Qin Ao and his companion will not be able to leave through spatial transfer. Here is [Communication Interference Scroll], a communication talisman lower than an Immortal Artifact will be unable to be used. All four of the exits had been marked and we are ready for the kill anytime."

"As expected of Shadow Pavilion, Qinhai, tell me every bit of information regarding Qin Ao today and the number of escorts he has with him, the number of people we have here."

"One Celestial King, ten ninth-level Dominion Realm Cultivator, and five seventh-level Dominion Realm Cultivator. The forces he has with him is just for show of strength. The Qin Clan likes to show off after all, also, the Xie Clan's, Xie Liu you have been asking us to monitor will be eliminated in three hours. He appeared in the Devil Domain's [Devil Lair Cavern] and it seems like he is searching for something, with him is Xie Qi and an Elder. I have ordered for his capture, but if you give me the order now I can use a Talisman to change the order."

Wang Ling looked at Qihai, he is one of the seven disciples of Butler Sun and it seems like he is going to be useful, "Contact them and change the order for elimination, if we capture him there is a chance he will escape and if we kill him we will not lose anything."

"What about the information we might gather from him?" Qihai asked.

Wang Ling looked at him with piercing eyes and then said, "Don't worry about that. If we kill him others. I am still sure about this but considering their naming sense, Xie Wu (five) means that he is the fifth, Xie Liu (six) means that he is sixth, and Xie Qi (seven) you just spoke of is seventh. I was not sure at first but now I am, Xie Liu and Xie Qi are numbered. If we kill them, stronger and more valuable people may show up, kill them if you can and don't waste time by mouthing off a one liner. Do it cleanly that is worthy of the Shadow Pavilion's name."

"Understood, First Young Master." Qihai bowed his head deeply and then went somewhere to change the orders. While he was doing so, Qihai had the leisure to think about Wang Ling's way of doing things and he can't help it but nod his head in approval.

[The First Young Master is so meticulous and he notices every little detail. It seems like Master was correct, the First Young Master is truly above everyone else.]

Wang Ling did not know he was being worshiped by Qihai, because he was too focus. He waited for Qin Ao to appear. And as the moon hangs overhead, Wang Ling's patience was like a stable mountain, unmoved and unperturbed.

The only time his pupils moved was when he caught sight of Qin Ao and his escort coming out of the Auction House.

"It is time for the hunt." It was time for the hunt and Wang Ling blended into the dark and disappeared like a shadow.
