The Sect Leader Has Taken in a New Female Disciple-Chapter 805 - 262: These Two Monks Are Really Strange!

As soon as Zhou Qing spoke, the crowd erupted again.

Soon, an early-stage Divinity Transformation Realm elder, dressed in a blue robe and with a gaunt face, stepped out and transmitted, "Fellow Daoist, in past auctions, the One-Color Array was auctioned for anywhere from a couple of top-grade Spirit Stones to dozens of them."

"This 'Wind Thunder Volcano Array' seems to be a new item. The array flags are brand new, and it appears unused. I'm willing to offer six top-grade Spirit Stones; what do you think?"

Zhou Qing remained calm outwardly, revealing nothing, although he was inwardly pleased.

For secretly, he had only hoped the price would reach five top-grade Spirit Stones for the sale.

After all, the materials needed for crafting only cost one top-grade Spirit Stone, and it was for two sets.

He did not reply immediately, merely nodding slightly to the elder.

Soon after, a tall Nascent Soul late-stage woman with a ponytail transmitted as well, "Fellow Daoist, I'm willing to offer four top-grade Spirit Stones. Would you consider parting with it?"

"I'll offer five stones!" A brawny, dark-skinned man transmitted in a deep voice.

Just as the crowd surrounded Zhou Qing in a heated bidding war, a middle-aged man coldly observed from a distant boulder.

His hair was disheveled, face gaunt, cheekbones slightly prominent, skin a pale shade from years without sunlight, eyes narrow and icy cold.

The One-Color Array did not interest him; he initially gave Zhou Qing merely a cursory glance, then quickly paused.

"Hmm, this feeling..."

Soon, he inexplicably sensed a familiar aura from Zhou Qing.

Yet the youth before him was someone he was certain he had never seen before, quite unfamiliar.

Still, he had absolute confidence in his unique Divinity Transformation Intent Realm—Wanxiang.

This realm, although lacking other uses, allowed him to vividly remember anyone or anything he had intimately encountered.

Thus, he had an extraordinary talent for treasure hunting.

Anything with a similar aura to what he had previously encountered, within a radius of three miles, no matter how well hidden, could not escape his keen perception.

The same applied to people; irrespective of whatever disguise technique they employed, under Wanxiang, they would be revealed, nothing able to hide.

"Interesting, seems you are an old acquaintance, let me see who you truly are!"

A flicker of curiosity appeared in the man's eyes. After a low murmur, his hands quickly moved, beginning a meticulous investigation towards Zhou Qing.

After half an incense stick's time, his eyes suddenly opened wide in disbelief, soon turning into intense killing intent.

"So it's you—"

...

Zhou Qing was filled with joy, not expecting his meticulously crafted One-Color Array to be so well-received.

Amidst fierce bidding, the first array quickly sold for a high price of eight top-grade Spirit Stones.

As for the second array, though the final price was slightly inferior to the first, garnering only five top-grade Spirit Stones, it greatly exceeded his expectations.

After all, what he crafted was merely a small array, not a large one valued at forty or fifty.

Nonetheless, this was already very good; in just three months of crafting, putting aside costs, he netted a profit of twelve top-grade Spirit Stones.

Converted to market value, that's as high as twelve hundred top-grade Spirit Stones, a much greater gain than what Yan and his group reaped after much effort.

"Market demand for arrays seems quite favorable; if necessary, direct travel to Lingyun Mansion may be warranted."

"On one hand, devise ways to discover news of top-grade Wood Attribute Spirit Stones; on the other hand, use these funds to purchase some rare materials."

"Once crafted successfully, sell at the Wanxiang Auction, achieving a win-win!"

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing was quite pleased.

"Even if Wanbao is still in Vast Mansion, without relying on his connections, at most sixty top-grade Spirit Stones will suffice to acquire materials; crafting a Bicolor Array should be possible!"

After doing these calculations, Zhou Qing felt energized, then swiftly left using Sword Control.

...

Before long, as Zhou Qing was rapidly moving, his eyes suddenly narrowed, a vague sense of caution rising from within.

Almost simultaneously, the Tetanus appeared quietly in his hand, while he himself halted hovering.

"Fellow Daoist, followed for so long, aren't you tired?" Zhou Qing's expression was steady, his clothes flapping in the wind.

His eyes, sharp as an eagle's, tightly focused on the void behind.

As soon as he spoke, a figure slowly emerged from the clouds and mist in the rear.

It was the same pale-faced, cold-eyed middle-aged man.

He hovered in midair, exuding a peculiar chilling aura.

Seeing this person, Zhou Qing couldn't help but furrow his brow.

Why does he feel familiar?

Seeing Zhou Qing this way, the man squinted his narrow eyes slightly, his voice hoarse, "What, do you also feel my presence seems familiar?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's mind alarmed loudly.

And at this moment, he suddenly recalled who the other was.

Mixed Element Sect's fifth elder in Vast Mansion's Western Domain—Ma Cheng!

Back then, after comprehending the Overbearing Realm, my uncle tried hard to help him to complete it and ascend to Divinity Transformation.

He specially took him around to find those in Divinity Transformation Realm late stage or Great Perfection for deadly battles.

Even forced them to kill by giving them Imaging Stones from early years when capturing their images.

Thus, when encountering Zhou Qing, they wished to eradicate him, hoping to seal their life's stains eternally in the past.
