第三千三百五十二章 似曾相识

A single stroke ruined everything!

After all his efforts, the treasure ended up in someone else's possession. Field Xiao Jian was fuming inside.

What use is it now? With things as they are, wallowing in regret won't change anything.

Field Xiao Jian took a deep breath and the magic aura around him surged, transforming into a streak of light that shot out and quickly vanished from sight.

The failure to snatch the treasure naturally made him angry.

But for now, he needed to leave this place as soon as possible.

This had become a dangerous ground!

For Yulan Business Alliance, the sudden turn of events at the auction was a heavy blow, a loss of face! Emotionally and logically, it would not let things go so easily.

Although Field Xiao Jian considered himself a high-minded cultivator, he didn't want to provoke such a formidable entity. The Feng family duo acted without any reservations, but in Field Xiao Jian's eyes, they seemed incredibly foolish.

Since his thoughts were different from the Feng family duo, he wouldn't follow their path. Regardless of how things turned out, he needed to leave this place first.

"Damn it!"

Thinking about the duck that had cooked and flown away at the last moment, Field Xiao Jian was extremely displeased, showing a more sinister expression on his face.

"Jian'er, you don't need to be so upset. Actually, your luck was pretty good just now."

At this moment, an old voice entered his ears, with a hint of enlightenment in its tone. There could only be one person— the former leader of the demon race.

"Why do you say such things, Father?"

Field Xiao Jian was greatly displeased: "Are you mocking me? Not only did I fail to get the treasure, but I was also heavily injured by someone else. Such a result can still be considered good luck?"

"Little fellow, your father and you rise and fall together. Mocking you would serve no purpose for me. If you knew that what you encountered just now was a divine talisman from the Immortal Realm, you wouldn't say so," the voice of the demon race leader carried a hint of anger, even more distant in its address.

"Father, please calm down. Jian'er is upset because I lost my treasure and thus offended you. You are a man of great magnanimity; can you tell me what a divine talisman from the Immortal Realm is?"

Field Xiao Jian did not get angry but instead showed a much better attitude than before. When one gives respect, they expect something in return— an old adage that proved true.

"A divine talisman from the Immortal Realm naturally refers to a talisman drawn by ancient true immortals. Could it be that such treasures exist in this mortal realm?"

Field Xiao Jian couldn't help but laugh and sigh; saying that was like not saying anything at all. The leader of the demon race, a figure of great importance, turned out to be so petty— he had already apologized earlier.

If only I knew today, why bother yesterday? Field Xiao Jian, helpless, could only continue smiling.

"Father, you mean that the treasure the guy just used was a divine talisman from the Immortal Realm?"

"Indeed. And it's not just any ordinary talisman; it’s a Heaven Immortal Spirit Talisman. This talisman grows stronger with power and is well-known even among talismans in the Immortal Realm. Even I would be hard-pressed to deal with such an item, but fortunately, what you encountered seems to have been only a fragment of the talisman. Otherwise, you wouldn't just suffer minor injuries; you'd already be in the netherworld."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing his father's words, Field Xiao Jian indeed shed his anger.

The other party having such a treasure made losing his own seem unavoidable.

"However... now that I have lost the copper furnace, Father, how can I find the Soul River Divine Fruit?" Field Xiao Jian said in difficulty.

"Don't worry. There are many treasures that can enter the Soul River region; your father will think of something for you," the demon race leader smiled.

"Thank you, Father."

Field Xiao Jian's face showed a look of great joy.

"Why so formal between us? The stronger you become, the more benefits I can gain from you. Even if you can enter the Soul River, finding the divine fruit is much harder than imagined," the demon race leader said with concern.

"There are many powerful experts there; even if we don't mention anything else, that guy who took away the copper furnace will definitely appear."

"How can appearing be a problem? For the Soul River Divine Fruit, could I possibly retreat?" There was no trace of fear on Field Xiao Jian's face: "This time, it was my fault for not being prepared. Next time, I won't make the same mistake again."

"Humph, you say that, but the mysterious cultivator’s strength cannot be underestimated. Even without using a divine talisman from the Immortal Realm, he is still a rare powerhouse— absolutely your rival. How strange; such a top-tier expert, why haven’t I heard of him before?"

The demon race leader's last words were more to himself than anyone else.

"Strange not only to Father, but his presence feels familiar, as if I've known him before, yet this person’s appearance is completely unfamiliar..." Field Xiao Jian rubbed his forehead, showing a thoughtful expression on his face.

"You mean... you should have known this person originally? He used disguise techniques?" The demon race leader was also an exceptionally wise individual; he understood the meaning behind it instantly.

"Indeed."

"Do you have any leads?" The demon race leader had interest in such a powerful figure.

"No."

Field Xiao Jian shook his head.

However, he actually lied. Although their appearances and figures were different, for some reason, Field Xiao Jian immediately thought of Lin Xuan.

He couldn't be one hundred percent sure but was at least eighty percent certain. The rapid progress he had made was due to the guidance and assistance from the demon race leader.

Lin Xuan, although talented, could not have achieved such accomplishments through sheer hard work alone.

But if it wasn’t for his arch-rival Lin Xuan, how could he feel so familiar? At this moment, Field Xiao Jian couldn't make up his mind.

He deliberately kept this information hidden and did not tell the demon race leader.

...

Field Xiao Jian's doubts were temporarily set aside. Lin Xuan was already tens of thousands of miles away at this point.

This auction had indeed been fruitful; he not only obtained the Soul Fruit but also this final treasure.

Since the copper furnace attracted so many powerful experts, it must be a significant item.

Originally, Lin Xuan didn't intend to intervene because his first priority was to find Mo Er. With too many experts present, any attempt at snatching the treasure could easily lead to an intense conflict.

Adding complications wasn’t what he wanted.

Lin Xuan merely intended to observe from the sidelines.

Who would have thought that things would take such a surprising turn? The heroes fought fiercely, even Xu Wu got involved, but no one managed to get the treasure. In the end, the copper furnace inexplicably landed at his feet.

What an amazing coincidence!

He could only attribute it to sheer luck.

Surprised by this good fortune, Lin Xuan couldn't afford to let such a chance slip away. After much trouble, he finally obtained the treasure and became the last victor. Moreover, he had now escaped danger.
