Zhu An was defeated, and the consequence of his defeat was the loss of his life.

Wang Ruoxie did not show any mercy. For those who intended to kill him, he would never let them off easily.

It wasn't that he was bloodthirsty, but he knew very well that showing mercy to enemies would only cost him dearly.

As for the possible retaliation from the Zhu Family afterward, he wasn't too concerned. With his current strength, it wouldn't be easy for the Zhu Family to take his life.

Unless the Zhu Family sent someone from the Middle Stage or even Late Stage of the Element Transformation Realm, no matter how many came, he could kill them all.

"Your strength has increased again."

Tang Miaoyin smiled slightly at Wang Ruoxie, who had already stepped down from the battle platform, and said.

"Not enough yet."

Wang Ruoxie shook his head slightly, replying.

Although his current strength was already unbelievably strong compared to the Energy-Introducing Realm, even among Martial Cultivators at the Early Stage of the Element Transformation Realm, there weren't many who could match him, it was still far from enough compared to his previous life.

Hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, a peculiar look appeared in Tang Miaoyin's eyes, as she finally started to understand why Wang Ruoxie's progress was so rapid.

It was not only because he possessed talent far beyond the ordinary but also because he had an unparalleled heart for Martial Arts.

"Steward Cui, the stake should be mine, right."

Wang Ruoxie turned his gaze to Cui Lin and said.

"Of course, the stake belongs to the winner of the gamble."

Cui Lin quickly replied.

At this moment, his heart was still filled with shock, and like many others, he was still unable to recover from the scene just now.

Ninth Layer of Energy-Introducing Realm, yet mastering swordsmanship at the Entering the Subtle level, slaying Zhu An of the Third Layer of Element Transformation Realm.

With such talent and strength, he might even be comparable to those among the top hundred of the Hidden Dragon List, perhaps even surpassing them.

He was certain that this sixteen-year-old boy would soon become famous throughout the world.

Cui Lin took out the two thousand lower-grade spirit stones from the storage pouch and handed them over to Wang Ruoxie.

"Two thousand lower-grade spirit stones should be enough for me to cultivate for a period of time."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself, then turned around and jokingly said to Tang Miaoyin, "We can go collect the winnings now."

Before the gamble began, he placed a bet of fifty thousand taels of gold on himself winning, with odds of one to a hundred, he could get five million taels of gold.

Tang Miaoyin even bet a hundred thousand taels of gold on him, now she can get ten million taels of gold.

Hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Tang Miaoyin couldn't help but take a deeper breath. Ten million taels of gold was a huge fortune for her even as the Seventh Princess.

"My silver..."

"Damn it, Zhu An deserved to die, making me lose a hundred thousand taels of silver."

"It's over, I've lost everything I had."

...

At this time, the crowd on the stands finally came back to their senses from the scene just now, with many cursing out loud.

If Zhu An hadn't been killed by Wang Ruoxie, those who lost everything would definitely not have let him off.

It's worth noting that among the nearly ten thousand people on the stands, almost half bet on Zhu An winning, thinking they could easily earn some winnings, but they never expected the final result to be losing everything.

Because of this, even though Wang Ruoxie and Tang Miaoyin together won a total of fifteen million taels of gold, the gambling venue still made a huge profit.

"I need all the information on this person."

A middle-aged man instructed his subordinate.

The subordinate, with a cultivation of the Third Layer of Element Transformation Realm, nodded respectfully and quickly left the gambling venue.

"A cultivation of the Ninth Layer of Energy-Introducing Realm, yet with the strength to slay someone at the Third Layer of Element Transformation Realm, and having a close relationship with the Seventh Princess, this person is definitely not to be underestimated, it's worth considering forming a good relationship."

A youth in luxurious clothing muttered to himself.

Behind him stood several guards with a cultivation of the Fourth Layer of Element Transformation Realm.

"I give you a day, I want to know everything about this person."

...

Similar scenes continuously occurred among the crowd on the stands.

After securing his five million gold notes into the storage ring, Wang Ruoxie, along with Tang Miaoyin and led by Cui Lin, went into an inner hall.

This inner hall was the core trading area of Star Hall.

Unlike the stalls outside, the items traded here were almost all relatively rare treasure resources.

"Steward Cui, I need these refining materials."

After writing down a list using pen and paper, Wang Ruoxie said to Cui Lin.

"These seem to be materials for refining Third Grade Pills and Spiritual Artifacts."

Cui Lin took the list and, after examining it carefully, couldn't help but exclaim.

Though he was neither a Pill Master nor an Artifact Master, as a steward of Star Hall, he naturally had some knowledge of the basics of alchemy and artifact refining.

At the very least, he could tell that the refining materials listed on the list could be used to refine Third Grade Pills.

Especially a few Spirit Level Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures among them, which were essential main materials for refining Spiritual Artifacts.

"Exactly."

Wang Ruoxie nodded slightly. He planned to refine some Third Grade Pills and a longsword at the Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact level in preparation for his journey to the Underground Blood Cave.

"All these materials are available in our Star Hall, but I'm curious if you need assistance from one of our Elders to refine them?"

Cui Lin's gaze turned to Wang Ruoxie and asked.

"No need, I just need to use your Artifact Refining Room and Alchemy Room."

Wang Ruoxie shook his head and said.

"Young Master, could it be that you are proficient in alchemy and artifact refining?"

Cui Lin was taken aback by this and looked at Wang Ruoxie with disbelief.

Next to him, Tang Miaoyin was also stunned. She had not expected Wang Ruoxie to be skilled in alchemy and artifact refining.

Most importantly, Wang Ruoxie intended to refine not only Third Grade Pills but also Spiritual Artifacts, meaning he was not only a Third Grade Alchemist but also a Third Grade Artifact Master.

"A little bit."

Wang Ruoxie replied with a gentle smile, nodding.

"Refining Third Grade Pills and Spiritual Artifacts, a little bit? Such boastful talk!"

At this moment, an irksome voice suddenly interrupted.

The three of them followed the voice to see an old white-haired man in a purple robe walking toward them,

"Elder Zhang Yun, why are you here?"

Cui Lin greeted the white-haired elder with respect and said.

"I came to get some Artifact Refining Materials from you, didn't expect to encounter a brash young boy boasting shamelessly here."

Zhang Yun nodded arrogantly and said,

"Just now, the one who claimed to be proficient in both alchemy and artifact refining and could make Third Grade Pills and Spiritual Artifacts, that was you, was it not?"

Shifting his gaze, Zhang Yun asked Wang Ruoxie.

"Yes, any problem?"

Wang Ruoxie frowned slightly, nodding in response.

"Haha... utterly ignorant."

Zhang Yun chuckled dismissively, saying, "Do you even know how hard it is to successfully refine Third Grade Pills and Spiritual Artifacts?"

"A mere young boy dares to make such outrageous claims, it's utterly laughable."

"Is it really that difficult?"

Wang Ruoxie responded with a calm smile.
