However, that Super Refining Master who could help him refine seven Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts... if there were enough resources to support it, the quantity of Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts that could be refined in the future would definitely be terrifying! TSK, TSK, this Mu Shiba... if we use our Immortal Sect's Five Elements Immortal Spirit Powder to knock him out, then secretly kidnap him, and then force him to reveal the whereabouts of that Super Refining Master... this should be a good plan, a perfect way to monopolize a large number of Immortal Artifacts!"

Hearing Feng Lingling say this, Xiaoo Yan, the genius disciple of the Five Elements Immortal Sect, immediately felt his head spin.

He shook his head repeatedly. "Junior Sister, don't be impulsive! This Fellow Daoist Mu is already highly regarded by so many Earth Immortal seniors; how can we possibly make a move on him? Besides, if you kidnap him, wouldn't you be dashing the hopes of the other Earth Immortal seniors? Wouldn't that offend all the Earth Immortals and Immortal Sects present? This must absolutely not be done! If you continue to be so impulsive and reckless, I'll use the Communication Jade to contact our Grandmaster and have her come drag you back immediately!"

The beautiful Feng Lingling pouted and rolled her eyes. "Honestly, I haven't actually done anything yet; I was just thinking about it! Thinking isn't a crime, is it? Besides, even if I were to kidnap him, I wouldn't do it in broad daylight. Have you ever seen an idiot kidnapper try to abduct someone in front of over a hundred thousand people? You big blockhead, you big fool!"

Xiaoo Yan: ....

At this moment, in the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect Martial Arts Arena, countless cultivators had their attention fixed on Lin Xuankong. Some envied him, some were utterly astounded, some were plotting to kidnap him, and others planned to use vast quantities of Grade-Entering Profound Truth Jade to 'entice' him. Without exception, he was the center of everyone's focus.

This included the isolated Flaming Blade Duan River and Second Prince Chang Li.

At this time, Flaming Blade Duan River watched as those Third-Grade Earth Immortals competed to recruit Lin Xuankong. His heart filled with resentment, yet he was utterly helpless.

Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect alone was already more than he, as the Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, could contend with. Now, almost every Earth Immortal from the attending Immortal Sects was trying to recruit Lin Xuankong, some even fawning over him!

In that instant, a trace of regret even welled up in Flaming Blade Duan River's heart. As the Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, he certainly knew very well what a large number of Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts meant to an Immortal Dao Sect! It was an opportunity for the Immortal Sect to rise, an opportunity to suppress other sects. Not many Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts were needed. If the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect could obtain a dozen or so more Flaming Blade Immortal Artifacts, its prestige would definitely be even more awe-inspiring than it was now! But unfortunately, Flaming Blade Duan River's eyes were filled with intense unwillingness. It was a pity; he and this Mu Shiba had already completely fallen out. He had even threatened to eliminate him. Under these circumstances, even if he wanted to make amends, there was no longer any chance! Moreover, with the Third-Grade Earth Immortals from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, Beimang Immortal Sect, Western Nether Immortal Sect, and others all making their moves, how could he possibly compete? He, the Vice Sect Leader of the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, had utterly offended Mu Shiba!

He looked up at Lin Xuankong, his grip tightening on his Flaming Blade.

Who the hell knew this guy would have so many tricks and Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts! Besides, in that situation just now, his Martial Nephew was nearly killed. How could he have just stood by? He had to intervene; he had done nothing wrong!

At this time, Second Prince Chang Li's heart was also a maelstrom of complex emotions.

His gaze fell upon Third Princess Xiaoo Ying'Er. He saw that this exceptionally beautiful woman, who possessed the Profound Phoenix Strange Vein, was gazing at Lin Xuankong with deep affection. Her expression clearly showed that her feelings were deeply rooted and she was utterly captivated, as if in her eyes, the entire world was less significant than the man before her!

Damn it! This is truly damnable!

Second Prince Chang Li felt his heart surge with resentment, jealousy, and indignation! But then he thought of Lin Xuankong's various methods, his seven Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts, and his own cultivation, not yet even at the first layer of the Transcendence Realm. A sense of despair, helplessness, and utter disheartenment gradually filled Second Prince Chang Li's heart. He knew very well that with his cultivation now crippled, he had not a glimmer of hope to obtain the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object. This meant that even if he could somehow cultivate back to Ninth-Layer Perfection in this lifetime, he would have absolutely no chance of forming the Sixth Celestial Vein! And this enemy before him not only possessed formidable methods, strength, and equipment, but also had an almost certain chance of winning the upcoming rounds of the competition. He would then obtain the Sixth Celestial Vein Spiritual Object. It was even possible he could advance to become an Initial Tier Earth Immortal with Six Celestial Veins, an Earth Immortal wielding the Six Paths Golden Core! By then, he would never have a chance to surpass him! Perhaps his Martial Uncle, Flaming Blade Duan River, might have a chance to kill this Mu Shiba. But in this lifetime, he himself had absolutely no hope of catching up to Mu Shiba's cultivation, let alone defeating him personally!

At this thought, Second Prince Chang Li felt his heart sink into utter despair.

If not for the shred of confidence he still had in his own talent, and the belief that even if he couldn't catch up to Mu Shiba, he could still become someone others would have to look up to, he might have already suffered a complete mental breakdown and committed suicide on the spot!

Second Prince Chang Li's face was deathly pale. After standing beside Flaming Blade Duan River in a daze for a long moment, he heaved a deep sigh and said:
