CHAPTER 350: LEAVING THE TIANQI CONTINENT AIRSPACE

Over the next three years, Shen Xu and the others roamed the Tianqi continent, enjoying themselves and dismantling all the formations they had left at different places.

When it was one month before the auction, they returned to the Martial Tower City and reunited with Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi.

After more than one hundred years in the Wind Cliff, Dongfang Jing’s cultivation was stable at the early stage of the void refining realm, while Chen Yi was still half a step to the fusion realm.

Seeing this, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu exchanged a glance and nodded.

"We happen to have a gold element crystal. Do you want it?" Shen Xu asked, his lips curled in a smile.

Yin Shi could use the crystal.

However, the double always felt that the crystal was more suitable for Chen Yi, so he decisively gave it up.

After all, he and Zhen Yuan had a lot of low-level resources and didn’t need to rely on the crystal to raise Yin Shi.

"A gold element crystal..." Dongfang Jing muttered and soon gasped.

"We want it." He said.

He and Chen Yi were both gold spiritual root cultivators.

However, he wasn’t desperate for himself but felt so for Chen Yi.

If he had not followed him to hide in the Canglan continent, Chen Yi’s cultivation would have long broken through to the fusion realm.

Thinking of this, Dongfang Jing was willing to do just about anything to get the gold element crystal.

"Calm down." Chen Yi whispered, rubbing his lover’s hand.

After Dongfang Jing regained his composure, Chen Yi turned to Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu.

"What do you want for the crystal?" He asked.

Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan had already discussed this.

Ordinarily, cultivators would trade for spirit stones or treasures.

However, the couple had countless spirit stones and didn’t need more for the time being.

As for treasures, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi were void refining realm cultivators and didn’t have the resources that the couple needed.

Knowing this, they considered trading on credit and allowing the Dongfang couple to meet their end of the deal after they arrived in the Tianxuan continent.

However, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi were fugitives and would likely not have an easy time in the Tianxuan continent.

Could they still come up with good things under such circumstances?

In the end, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan compromised and decided to trade the crystal for information.

After all, when they arrived in the Tianxuan continent, they would need to find an information broker to buy news.

Shen Xu sighed when he thought of this.

He and Zhen Yuan originally thought they could rely on Feng Xue for information.

However, after asking, they realised Feng Xue was mostly clueless.

Although she had lived in the Tianxuan continent for a long time, she spent most of her time cultivating and didn’t know much about the continent.

On the contrary, Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi were young masters of a prominent family.

Even though they had been away from the Tianxuan continent for almost one thousand years, the information they knew was more valuable and complete than what Feng Xue could provide.

"We want information about the Tianxuan continent. The sects, secret realms, families, people, ascension, ..., include anything you can think of." He said.

"Just that?" Chen Yi asked in a surprised voice.

"It’s the friendship price." Shen Xu shrugged and chuckled.

"We won’t forget this favour." Dongfang Jing said with a determined expression.

After that, he and Chen Yi recorded everything they knew about the Tianxuan continent in two memory jades and handed them over.

"This is good." Shen Xu nodded after casually checking the jades.

A moment later, he fulfilled his side of the deal and gave Chen Yi the gold element crystal.

"Good luck." He said.

After that, the group of seven left the Martial Tower City and took the teleportation formation to the Alchemy Tower City.

From what Shen Xu knew, the tower cities took turns to activate the eight towers teleportation formation.

This time was the turn of the Alchemy tower.

Because of this, the large auction was also held in the Alchemy Tower City.

The Alchemy Tower city was always crowded.

However, because of the auction and teleportation, the city was more crowded than usual.

From the teleportation area to the main street, the seven encountered countless cultivators, most of whom were at or above the spirit transformation realm.

"It’s going to be hell finding an inn." Li Wenqiang muttered with a thoughtful expression.

He was right!

After being turned away at the eighth inn, Shen Xu sighed with a miserable expression.

"We should have come earlier." He said.

"We may have no choice but to go to the black market or find a house in a nearby village." Dongfang Jing said.

Fortunately, their luck had not run out.

Just when they were thinking about the black market, they saw a small inn at the border of the inner and outer cities.

With the mentality of trying their luck, they went to the inn and unexpectedly managed to book two rooms.

"It’s better than nothing." Shen Xu said.

In fact, it was perfect.

After all, the inn room was just a beard since his group had the space.

Soon after, the seven were led to their rooms but stopped at the entrance.

"The auction is in two days. See you then?" Shen Xu asked, and Dongfang Jing nodded.

A moment later, two people entered one room, and the remaining five entered the other.

"I didn’t expect the auction and teleportation to attract so many people." Shen Xu said as soon as they entered the space.

"It’s not unexpected." Zhen Yuan said and began explaining.

"The teleportation is a once-in-a-thousand-years event. It’s not strange that many people want to see it."

The next day, Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan roamed the street while eavesdropping on gossip.

From what they learned, fifty Mahayana realm cultivators and three transcending tribulation realm cultivators had already arrived in the Tianqi continent.

After arriving, some of the cultivators began repairing the towers, others went to investigate the dangerous areas that had suddenly disappeared, and a few started looking for the genius masters who broke the tower records.

Unfortunately, neither those who went to investigate the dangerous areas nor those who were looking for the geniuses succeeded in their search.

However, they had not given up and were still searching, wanting to recruit the geniuses before other forces did.

[I suddenly feel like a piece of fat meat.] Shen Xu transmitted, and Zhen Yuan chuckled.

[You are the most delicious piece of meat.] Zhen Yuan flirted, and the double couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

[You are the meat.] He said.

Time passed, and the auction came.

As they expected, most of the auction items were level six and seven cultivation resources from the Tianxuan continent.

Since they didn’t need them, Zhen Yuan’s group didn’t buy anything but indirectly sold some goods for three hundred and fifty billion spirit stones.

’It’s our last pot of gold in the Tianqi continent.’ Shen Xu thought after receiving the spirit stones.

Three days later, thousands of cultivators gathered outside the alchemy tower.

Among the crowd were Shen Xu’s group and Xiao Weimin’s group.

However, neither group planned to enter the tower and were just there to watch the fun.

At noon, the tower doors opened, and those who had teleportation tokens began to enter.

Ordinarily, fewer than one thousand cultivators could board the formation.

However, because of the towers’ questions opportunity, more people got tokens, and almost twenty thousand people entered the alchemy tower.

After everyone was inside, the door closed, and the tower began emitting a silver light.

This lasted for one hour.

After one hour, the light dissipated, and the tower door opened.

"They are gone." Zhen Yuan said.

"It’s also time for us to leave." Shen Xu said with a meaningful expression.

They were scheduled to meet Xiao Weimin’s group in two days.

However, Shen Xu and the others didn’t plan to make the appointment, so they left the city directly.

The group consisted of Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, Yang Shi, Feng Xue, Li Wenqiang, Dongfang Jing, Chen Yi, Zhang Ji, Zhang Ji’s wife, Jingyu, and the masked person who was always with Jingyu.

[Jingyu, what do we need to do?] Shen Xu asked.

[Board the ship and fly outside the Tianqi airspace. I will take it from there.]

[Good.] The double nodded, took out the ship, and asked everyone to get on.

Because the ship’s lowest setting was level nine, the group travelled fast, and one day later, they exited the Tianqi airspace.

[Gather your people and meet in the private sitting room.] Jingyu said, and Shen Xu did as asked.

When everyone was gathered, Jingyu sighed with a conflicted expression.

However, she soon regained her composure and smiled before giving Shen Xu a storage ring.

"These are the earnings from selling your tokens and answers." She said.

Although she neither sold the tokens nor the answers, she took this opportunity to give her master’s child the remaining resources on her body.

After all, she wouldn’t need cultivation world resources when she returned to her master’s side.
