Wu Fan had always been focused on the cultivators in the top tier, partly to gather some details, and also because he was in the second tier himself.
Emotionally, he wasn't very anxious; after all, there were only nine people, and he ranked second in the second tier—as a disciple under Yuangang, he got a small advantage.
Then he watched as the number of people in the first tier increased from nine to ten, then eleven—as more arrived, some directly offered five hundred Spirit Stones.
Wu Fan's ranking kept slipping, and he absolutely detested this but was powerless to change the situation—even though he was on friendly terms with a Nascent Soul Middle Phase cultivator in the sect, he couldn't ask for help.
In such circumstances, the Spirit Stone was king; others offered more money, and it was not a matter of cutting in line, but a display of strength.
And Feng Jun made it clear that he only recognized Spirit Stones, so even as a disciple of one of the hosts, he couldn't argue.
