CHAPTER 492: CHAPTER 262: WHITE JADE RUYI_2

This time, someone else from the "Primordial Yang Dao Sect" made a bid.

Evidently, this person held a higher status and had more authority.

"Brother Yuan! If it were an ordinary item, even a Tier Four ’Life-Extending Pill’, I would yield to you! But for this item, I must compete with you. Ten thousand!"

At this moment, Ming Lingchuan spoke softly. As soon as his voice echoed, the entire auction hall fell into silence.

"Sect Leader Venerable!"

Li Yunjing’s heart pounded, his mouth dry. Such a significant figure from the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" personally involved in the competition indicated the exceptional value of the treasure.

"Ah... What a pity! What a pity! Since Brother Ming has offered such a sky-high price, we ’Primordial Yang Dao Sect’ concede!"

Even in defeat, the prominent figure in the opposing box remained calm, speaking lightly.

From beginning to end, this distinguished individual stayed tranquil regardless of victory or defeat, exhibiting a dignified composure typical of someone of high status.

"Thank you, Brother Yuan, for holding back!"

Ming Lingchuan smiled and responded.

Both parties were Sect Leader Venerables of grand Profound Sect factions and close allies. With his successful bid, Ming Lingchuan naturally had to express his gratitude.

"It’s nothing..."

The prominent figure from "Primordial Yang Dao Sect" replied, then fell silent.

Eventually, the treasure was secured for the price of ten thousand Top Grade Spirit Stones!

This was also the highest priced item in this auction.

In the "Shenxiao Dao Sect’s" domain, the treasure inevitably fell into their hands.

"Alright! This concludes this auction! A hundred years from now, our ’Treasure Pavilion’ will host another event in one of the countries of the Southern Heaven Continent. We hope everyone can attend again then!"

Di Fanshuang announced finally.

After the auction ended, the people of "Treasure Pavilion" activated the teleportation array on the second, third, and forth layers again and opened the front door on the first floor.

All cultivators were free to leave.

The end of the auction did not signify the end of matters.

At this moment, many Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivators appeared anxious and cautious. Those who flaunted their wealth at the auction fled "Treasure Pavilion" instantly.

Because with wealth, comes the threat of slaughter!

Of course, such carnage would not occur within the "City of Glory". In the city, regardless of the reason, "Shenxiao Dao Sect" had to ensure the safety of their guests.

However, once outside the "City of Glory," those targeted might face danger on their return journey.

Many who did not participate in the auction came with the intent to kill!

Ambushing wealthy cultivators was the quickest way to amass fortune.

After Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao left "Treasure Pavilion," countless eyes, both overt and covert, focused on them.

Especially some experts, sensing Li Yunjing and his group’s cultivation levels, were brimming with murderous intent!

Li Yunjing’s group consisted of four Foundation Establishment Realm First Heaven cultivators, each immensely wealthy, and the two female cultivators were stunning beauties.

Low cultivation, beautiful female cultivators, and vast riches all spelled certain death!

"What should we do?"

Fu Chao’s face changed, whispering, "Should we find my brother?"

"No need!"

Li Yunjing’s eyes flashed coldly, replying, "Let’s rest at the inn for three days! After three days, we’ll depart! What’s the use of keeping all these killer artifacts?"

"If we encounter robbers, we’ll unleash the killer artifacts and eliminate them all!"

"Our wealth can be supplemented by theirs!"

Hearing Li Yunjing’s words, Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao’s eyes turned cold, nodding in agreement.

In these three days, Li Yunjing and his companions needed to digest their earnings and convert them into combat power to wreak havoc!

With these tribulation cultivators’ patience, they certainly wouldn’t leave far.

Then, a brutal battle was inevitable!

"Alright! You return first! I’m going to find my brother for some defensive killer artifacts! When the time comes, let’s see who dares to target me."

Fu Chao grinned sinisterly.

"Good! Be careful! Although in ’City of Glory’, no one should act, it’s still wise to guard against any fool!"

Li Yunjing warned Fu Chao repeatedly before he left.

"Hahaha! I will!"

Fu Chao laughed heartily, feeling warm inside. These were true brothers!

Watching Fu Chao leave and vanish around the corner, Li Yunjing then led Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi back to their rented courtyard.

As for the lurking followers, Li Yunjing merely sneered and ignored them.

Back at their residence, Li Yunjing and his companions started inventorying their assets and redistributing the treasures.

Whatever Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi wanted, Li Yunjing gave without hesitation. Half an hour later, the three had allocated everything appropriately and began individual seclusion to refine their treasures.

Over the next three days, Li Yunjing would familiarize himself with all usable spiritual artifacts, even refining the acquired treasure artifact Blood Sword.

After completing this, Li Yunjing began meditative Qi Cultivation, attempting to use his mind to communicate with the depths of his Sea of Consciousness, aiming to harness more Thunder Power.

Unfortunately, despite Li Yunjing’s efforts, the secret energy within his Sea of Consciousness remained immobile, refusing his commands.

This mysterious Thunder Sea within Li Yunjing’s Sea of Consciousness seemed independent, its formidable power beyond Li Yunjing’s control.

All he could do was gaze longingly at the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.

Since he couldn’t fully harness the power from his Sea of Consciousness, Li Yunjing opted to abandon his studies and instead meditate deeply in his room, contemplating various cultivation techniques and divine techniques...

As he inhaled and exhaled Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, dense spiritual energy gathered around Li Yunjing, swirling around him.

Guided by Li Yunjing’s "Five Thunders True Method," the spiritual energy gradually formed into dragons, entering his body.

Whatever usable items Li Yunjing possessed were now in use.

Within his seclusion chamber, the Spirit Gathering Array was fully activated. Li Yunjing even began using High Grade Spirit Stones to mobilize the array, madly absorbing spiritual energy to refine his body.

Numerous spirit fruits and spirit medicines were consumed without hesitation. Li Yunjing’s room resembled a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

His surroundings filled with dense white mist, the spiritual energy almost becoming tangible.

With ample resources and willingness to invest, Li Yunjing’s cultivation speed was naturally swift!

In these six months, Li Yunjing had been busy, steadily advancing his cultivation.

Now, after three intense days of cultivation, he saved several years of strenuous effort and successfully mastered the second volume of the "Five Thunders True Method," further refining Thunder Skill.

Li Yunjing’s body stored refined Thunder Power, forming small serpent-like electric beams on his palms.

These electric serpents, guided by Li Yunjing’s thoughts, shifted according to the "Five Thunders True Method," sometimes forming Thunder Sword, Thunder Saber, Thunder Shield, Thunder Arrow... various True Qi shapes.

With the second step of the "Five Thunders True Method" mastered, Li Yunjing’s True Essence grew strong and abundant, surging within him wildly.

Li Yunjing’s meridians, flesh, bones, internal organs, even Sea of Consciousness, were flooded with tremendous energy. This energy forcibly broke through the Foundation Establishment Realm Second Heaven bottleneck, pushing towards the next level.
