What does it mean to be a martial artist from the Fierce Realm? Even though it was known as the era of supremacy in an age of Darkness, being a martial artist of the Fierce Realm today is still synonymous with being a master.

Any martial artist who has reached the Fierce Realm would qualify to establish a Clans of their very own, capable of self-preservation even amidst chaos.

Martial artists who could reach the Fierce Realm usually demonstrated an indomitable will. According to the most common aptitude, it requires eight years to accumulate enough Spiritual Power to reach the Mortal Realm after completing Foundation Building. After reaching the Mortal Realm and being in continuous, arduous cultivation, the peak of the Mortal Realm can be achieved in around nine years. Even then, they would need to practice for another twenty-seven years to accumulate enough Spiritual Power to break through to the Fierce Realm.

Almost fifty years of continuous hard work would bring forth a martial artist of the Fierce Realm, which is why every one of them is considered the families’ most relied-upon warrior.

Thus, to assess a family’s strength, one must look at the numbers of their Fierce Realm masters.

Since every Fierce Realm warrior is so hard to come by, they’re usually respected within their families. Even if a clans’ martial artist breaks through to the Fierce Realm, their status would still rise drastically.

Yet, Ji Fu treated the five Fierce Realm warriors at his side with a supercilious demeanor, commanding them with merely a gesture.

Within the five Fierce Realm warriors, Tang Luo could somewhat see the outline of future soldiers. As a result, he frowned and asked Old Xu, “Do you know about the Ji Clan in Beimang?”

The fact that a young master could dispatch five Fierce Realm warriors to guard him on trips, and recognize the Boundary Breaking Stone, indicated a family of renown. Tang Clan’s ignorance of this might not matter much, but a sage’s family like the Xu Clan should know all about the formidable forces on the continent.

Yet, Old Xu’s frown furrowed deeper than Tang Luo’s because he had also noticed the strength of the five Fierce Realm warriors around Ji Fu. A family with such power should not be kept in the dark, but he just couldn’t recall any formidable force from Beimang. Even the only first-grade Taoist temple, the Wuxiang Zen Temple, kept their activities hidden.

Could this Ji Clan have emerged out of thin air? Old Xu couldn’t help but frown and said, “I have not heard of this family, but I do know that Ji Fu currently harbors a murderous intent.”

Although Ji Fu had regained his composure and sat back in his seat thanks to Xiao Zheng’s mediation, his murderous intent was still palpable even from afar for Old Xu, so he had to warn Tang Luo. As much as they wanted the Boundary Breaking Stone, other complications could arise.

“Tsk, tsk, he’s really impetuous.” Tang Luo looked at Ji Fu calming himself down, and commented.

After a brief disruption, the auction returned to its tranquility. The circle of landlords and young ladies who had originally sat around Ji Fu, prefered to squeeze with the familiar Clans than to return to their original seats. This resulted in an uninhabited area in the southwest corner, isolating Ji Fu.

Seeing this, Xiao Zheng could not help but feel helpless. This time, Ji Fu had also come with a business team intending to trade medicinal herbs in Xiling. However, given this first impression, it was imaginable how many obstacles he would face in Xiling in the future.

“What a foolish move, Brother Ji!” Xiao Zheng muttered in his heart, bringing down his auction hammer.

“I declare that the third auction item, the nameless gem, has been sold to Tang Luo in the amount of seven million and ten thousand gold. Congratulations, Tang Tianjiao!”

As Xiao Zheng’s voice fell, the auction house echoed with enthusiastic applause because Tang Luo had just given the out-of-towners a real lesson, which boosted everyone’s spirits.

After all, local pride is a sentiment that’s timeless.

A few Xiao strongmen escorted the wood box to the second floor’s VIP room and placed it on the low table in front of Xu Shuhui.

As soon as Old Xu saw the wooden box, he couldn’t wait to open it. The milky white light immediately lit up the room, dazzling everyone.

“Close it quickly, that glare is blinding.” Tang Luo could understand Old Xu’s eagerness to examine the treasure, but such intense light close up was too much for the children to bear.

Little Nuannuan had already buried her head in her mother’s arms, and the young boy had not only closed his eyes but also covered them with his hands.

Old Xu, pleasingly observing the Boundary Breaking Stone in the box, could only reluctantly close the wooden lid upon hearing Tang Luo’s words.

“Your little cousin doesn’t practice eye techniques. He will suffer a disadvantage in the future!” Old Xu held the wooden box in his arms, looked at his little cousin, who was struggling to open his eyes, and advised Tang Luo. Tang Luo glanced at the little boy rubbing his eyes and told Old Xu, “It’s easy for you to say, mastering eye techniques isn’t that easy.”

The well-fed don’t understand the hunger of the poor. Given the foundation of a sage’s family, a martial artist at the Mortal Realm should not only practice their family’s techniques, but also battle body and secret techniques. These will never be overlooked. Just look at Old Xu; his skills illustrate the profound foundation of a sage’s family. Even an unintentional display is a rare secret technique.

Even his mother, Xu Shuhui, was unabashed in facing the bright light of the Boundary Breaking Stone, proving she too had practiced a decent ocular technique.

“Why don’t you pass your eye technique to him?” Old Xu was particularly puzzled. He and his aunt’s eye techniques were Xu Clan’s property and couldn’t be circulated externally. But Tang Luo was also unaffected by the intense light and was Tang Xing’s biological brother, so why couldn’t he teach it?

Hearing these words from Old Xu, even the little boy excitedly looked at Tang Luo, hopeful.

“Mine’s not really an eye technique…” Tang Luo explained, “It’s just a simple resistance to bright light.”

That was…quite disappointing. The boy drooped his head.

The auction was still going on, but clearly, Tang Luo and Old Xu’s attention had already left the auction, as they had obtained what mattered most and were discussing plans for the Boundary Breaking Stone.

On one side were the exhilarated ones who stumbled upon a windfall, and on the other were the furious ones whose love was snatched away. Ji Fu’s face was so dark that it looked as though it could ooze ink.

“Young Master, why didn’t you make a move just now?” Ji Qing looked at his master’s ashen face, leaned in, and asked softly.

How I wish I could’ve made a move! Cold light flickered in Ji Fu’s eyes. He struggled to suppress the surge of resentment within him. Through gritted teeth, he uttered a few words: “Endure the small, or lose sight of the large.” Struggling for a piece of the unknown gem at the auction wasn’t a big deal, but once conflict arose, the news could no longer be concealed.

Ji Fu held no one in Xiling in high regard, but he feared the first-rate sects in Longzhou finding out and even more the Martial Saint Mountain finding out.

Once these sacred grounds and sects discovered their origins, even if they got the Boundary Breaking Stone, they could say goodbye to the treasury forever.

Even though the Boundary Breaking Stone wasn’t in his possession at the moment, he knew of its whereabouts. With the power he had brought along, can a prince of Xiling prove too much?

No matter how highly the people of Xiling praised Tang Luo, in Ji Fu’s eyes, he was merely a newly-transformed warrior of a great family.. What right did he have to compete with him!
